Lol. My expectations were pretty much rock bottom but man oh man its even worse then I expected. My sister and I are huge halo nerds and we're going to hate-watch and riff the shit out of this monstrosity. Edit: Sidenote I wonder if this trailer will finally kill the slowed down popsong cliche once and for all?
I guess I never listened with the sound on, but it didn't make me mad. Adapting any action focused game would be incredibly difficult because it's a lot cheaper to film people standing around in a room and talking for 15 minutes at a time and every scene in a faithful Halo would require a shit load of CGI, custom guns, vehicles, aliens and gun fire explosions going off. Plus actors always want to show their faces, so they will constantly be taking their helmets off.
I'm just surprised they are actually doing it. A good Halo show would probably be a collection of 10 minute action sequences, with a 45 minute running time.
Additionally, a lot of the plot in a first person shooter is just built around giving you more and more baddies to shoot, which is fun in a video game because that's content to play, but in a show or movie just watching the protagonist kill armies of disposable minions gets old faster.
