Halo: Sanctuary (2024)
??????
This is the MasterChief? How embarrassing! Would have liked to seen the Chief flying through space with a covenant bomb towards a covenant ship like right out of the game. That would have blown peoples minds! I feel that would have been about the only way to bring me back. Another wasted opportunity and a detrimental disservice to the lore, the fans and your reputation. By the way, if you hadn't noticed from all the games, books, comics, anime and every Halo loving fans overwhelming, unpleasant comments on the subject, the Chiefs helmet does not come off! Stupid Hollywood BS! Subscription cancelled!
Halo (2022)
Wtf?
So I rarely write reviews because everyone else seems to want to do it more than I do but after watching this Halo series I feel compelled.
So Halo fans and super fans have always demanded a screen adaptation of this franchise since CE! Many of us have given up over the years because of the many attempts with nothing ever coming to fruition. I could never understand that because of the giant catalog of cannon that has evolved over the many years the franchise has been successful. It all starts with a good story, which Halo has always had.
So what gives? Why does the master chief constantly have his helmet off? Was there a contract for the actor so that he'll get to show his face in every episode? Nothing against the guy, he's not a bad actor, but find another guy! Master Chief never took his helmet off! That's was part of the charm. Not knowing what he looked like, ever! Were they afraid no one would like it because you can't see the antagonist's face? That can't be true because the Mandalorian did it fantastically!
Ok, what's with this girl working with the Covenant? What's with this whole story line of the girl at Madrigal?
What's with the other Spartans? Master Chief worked alone. What's with these forerunner artifacts that aren't on an installation or an outpost? I could go on and on with all the contradictions to the original story it's incredible!
Wtf? Why can't someone just make the Halo movie/TV show using the endless and extensive cannon that is provided to them already. It's a hell of a lot more compelling that whatever I just sat through.
The show is okay. It's fun watching some of the Covenant battles and the 117 dominate for about 3 minutes overall! But there is a lot that doesn't make any sense here.
If they make another season after all the bad reviews I'll be surprised. I really don't think they can fix what they already have done unfortunately.
As a super fan, I guess I'll just keep waiting for someone to get it right. The story is already there. It can't be that difficult.
One more thing. Where is Sergeant Johnson? Wtf? Why is he not in this? Hollywood - how to get things right and oh so wrong!
Away (2020)
More Netflix Fodder
This is a great idea and it was well produced but still couldn't make it past the coherently talking after massive stroke BS! To all writers in Hollywood: please never underestimate your audience. Do a little overestimating sometimes, it's got to be better than spending a bunch of money on a TV series just to have it fail and cancel said show after one season. Especially when you have good talent. We are not that dumb!
