Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

ThiefHott Too much of everything

Steineded How sad is this?

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

bajs5 The start was not interesting did not draw you into the story line and proceeded to be stuck in the basics to build a plot for way too long. The master chief appeared and the movie kicked up a gear or 2, but this didn't last very long and before you new it the movie was over. In all honesty i don't know much about the game, gathering from this episode/movie it is not a terribly interesting plot. i sat down to watch a science fiction action adventure and was terribly bored for 95% of the movie. They could have spent 1/3rd of the time investing in building the characters and a lot more time on the action. If there are more installments to come i hope the action picks up and if they want to spend a lot of time on the plot then make it interesting, not some soppy teenage daytime drama NOT A FAN o

antonnilsson4 There is a guy who don't really wants to be a solider. He gets sick and the movie ends.This was one of the most boring movies that i've ever watched. And yes I've played the game. i cant see how this could have 7.2 in ratings right know. 4 or 5 times I wanted to stop the movie. The story really sucks, and the movie is so unbelievable slow. I can't believe that I watched the hole one. Nothing is happening, there's a war but you almost never See anything about the war? And the love between these 2 guys, why even have it there? Come on! I would never recommend this movie to anyone. Save your time and look at another movie instead.

smod-mail I'm a pretty big Halo fan. Now I am sure, a lot of the reviews start in the same way! Let's be honest Halo is a massive franchise and it's been made so well, that making a movie was always going to be judged with extreme criticism. Firstly and most importantly: This movie lives up to all our super HD and CGI needs- the covenant, master chief and action is so well done you almost wish you had blu ray and 4K now to see it in! (Where? Currently on NETFLIX in beautiful quality).Secondly, now this is the problem with it. Almost half the movie is just a back story and an emotional journey only part of which is actually integral to the whole idea of Halo. When you pick up a game/franchise/sci-fi genre that has already given people a story; your own idea or execution of a new back story has to be 'excellent'. I am sorry, the execution here is excellent but the plot is highly boring. If I wasn't a fan of Halo I would have stopped watching 20 minutes into the film. I urge you though, watch it, it gets better and reaches a very very good peak. If you haven't played the game, you will want to play it after this.

bnoriega2001 Somehow I stumbled upon this movie browsing through my Netflix queue and was glad I watched it. I'm hopeful they put out more movies like this. Its the first movie that I can actually say I have enjoyed even though its based of a video game, normally they try giving movies a very video game like first person shooter feel which really takes away from the story. This was totally not the case. The entire Halo world has been fascinating from the beginning and hopefully more content gets put out for it (comic books, games, etc.). Just like the video games the story takes the front seat and then delivers with good effects , cinematography, and action as a way to propel it they way good stories should be done always. Hurray for Bungie on this epic franchise.
