6/10 enjoyable

In an age of cinema where original ideas are often overlooked in place of sequels, remakes, adaptations from books and games. This movie feels no different. This movie has a feel as its from a book series, with an established lore and characters we all should know and love....... but it's not. I kept finding myself watching this and seeing the way they would introduce a new character and I would get this feeling like "awe thats so-n-so" but remember I had no idea lol. I felt left out, dying to know more.

As the story goes, I found it watchable. Yes it's a "star wars" knock off, but those in the know knew this was coming. Felt every Mandaolrian/Rogue One.

Cinematography wise the movie could have been 40 minutes shorter without Zach's "spartan 300" slow motion action sequence in almost every scene. I felt it slowed the pacing down, ejecting me from caring about what was playing out.

Another thing I felt was every distracting, and I am not sure if it was my ratio aspect or the movie but, while the characters up front and present where clear the background and around the center of the screen was blurry. More so then normal, as if it was an effort to exaggerate this effect.

Halo (2022– )
2/10
5 episodes in ......
5 May 2022
Warning: Spoilers
It's been a roller coaster of emotions from me for this series. When I learned this was a "re-imagined" universe my hangups with the inconsistencies were put to rest. But the show as a "new story" is boring. I guess there is a mystery aspect of the show, but the similarities between this show and the games are close enough you can guess what is going to happen. The Spartans are loud, clumsy, and the Master Chief seems to be a solider dealing with an identity crisis instead of being a galactic war hero. Im finishing the series but im not racing home to watch it on release day.

Great show for a drinking game
29 August 2019
The show is your typical "garage" reality show. To add drama there is always a ridiculous deadline, disastrous set backs, and the cliche haggling. But what makes this show entertaining is you can make this into a drinking game. Take a drink everytime.... Anytime someone says "rare find" Anytime the main guy Mike says he is waiting on the "right buyer" Anytime Mike DOESNT sell something/buys something when he needs to make money. Anytime someone complains about mike not selling stuff And lastly When Mike's friend Avery laughs

Have fun and good luck

Halo Wars 2 (2017 Video Game)
6/10
Story was there, production wasn't
21 February 2017
I'm attempting to give the most unbiased review that my soul will allow to to write. I love the Halo universe and looked forward to finally being shown the fate of the crew of the Spirit of Fire. For this I was not disappointed. However everything I loved about Halo Wars the fine folks at 343 once took a dump on it. For what I played it for, which was for the story, I enjoyed it. The cut screens were very nicely done and didn't just "drop off" or end awkwardly like they did in Halo 5, they actually told a story with is nice. But I have to ask 343 why they decided to completely change the look, sound, personalities of the main characters ??? Were the original voice actors unavailable? Did they even try? Doesn't seem like it. The game is very distracting because the whole time Captain Cutter is suppose to be the one talking to you and giving you orders but I kept getting lost thinking it was Spartan Jermone. Then I discovered they used the same voice actor for the Cutter as they did for Jermone in HW1. So I guess 343 did try to find the original cast, except complete switched it up on us and hoped nobody would care. The characters even look different. The Professor, who had a clear Asian ancestry is now a white woman in this game. And Cutter looks younger than he did before ? So upset and disappointed in the controls as well. The way building and units are upgraded are completely different and honestly I get why, they gotta keep it fresh, but I did not enjoy it at all. Just my opinion. I hope this does well enough that they continue with the story. But come on 343 you have been in charge of 3 games now and you have let me down every time.
