Can't say I'm all that excited. I got tired of hearing about this franchise after all the hype for the third game.

Hmm, hopefully this will be the first movie based on a game that might actually be mildly entertaining to watch.

Lets hope this one doesn't die with the first Halo movie, Bioshock, and more then likely the Metal Gear Solid Movie.

Awesome, this will end well. I mean, there's no reason to think this will end poorly, right? Right?

While I'm not a huge fan of the games I love the Halo universe. I hope they don't **** it up.

Spielberg's a great director (shhhhh! War of the Worlds never happened! :x) and the Halo games are great. I really don't know how this can end up being bad.

I have to admit, I'm a bit psyched. I've always thought the story to the Halo series was great and with a great director like Spielberg at the helm it should at least be a decent movie. Just think of the epic battles they could have, both on the ground and in space. Honestly though, I think Peter Jackson would have been a better director for this movie, Lord of the Rings was epic incarnate. If they do a good job of the first movie, they could probably turn it into a trilogy. First movie would be the fall of Reach, second would probably be a combonation of the plot of Halo 1 and Halo 2 (ex. Gravemind, covy civil war) and the third would be Halo 3.

I, and I'm sure many others, found it to be fairly mediocre. Also, how the hell did that kid live?

That's good, I really like the book and I can't wait to see how the film turns out, with Stephen Spielberg working on it, it should be great.

I don't know why you would make a halo movie. Its a great game but the story is nothing special. If your gonana make a movie about a game choose something with a good story.

No, the best thing would be if Spielberg didn't entertain the notion that he could be the first person in history to make a good movie based upon a video game license, never mind that I don't think Halo is really all that amazing anyway.

You're just restating what you said. What about the directing made it a bad movie?

If true, it's going to be a huge blockbuster release, hopefully we get a decent director.

It's not so much the directing. More so, the mediocre story and script. But my point still remains. It's the only movie he directed that ended up being garbage.

There is. But the movie has been in production for a much longer time. And it actually has a chance of being good.

sweet. I'll go see it no matter how horrible it might be. But I got a feeling that it will be somewhat decent.

I find Spielberg's WotW pretty awesome actually. I was genuinely tense watching it on the big screen when the tripods made that alarming sound.

Spielberg is at Disney now. So unless Disney will decide to fund the Halo project, I don't know how long it will be under Spielberg's hands.
