So good......This just screams Halo movie.....now get to it Peter Jackson!

 

I'm not a fan of The Lord of the Rings flicks (I thought the first was good but the rest...meh) so Peter Jackson doesn't sound too appealing to me. I like what Blomkamp did with D9, gritty and somewhat of an old school 80's sci-fi feel, at least to me. I think if there is a movie that whomever does it, they can't be afraid to capture that gritty feel. I'm so afraid of some kind of over the top approach just to cash in on the brand.  I will say that I'm good with just about all of the Halo live action stuff that has come out and that 343 seems really dedicated to keeping it tight. I really do like the idea of a series too.

 

How?  I thought the Lord of the Rings trilogy was (and still is) amazing

Well you are not alone in thinking that, that's for sure. I don't want to get into this whole big thing about what I don't like about it. I'm not saying it was terrible and there were definitely times that I was wowed. Overall though it just didn't do it for me, I feel as if their is this underlying sense of corniness to the whole thing. It's totally a taste thing and I know I'm probably in the minority amongst my gaming/sci-fi loving peers. All I know is that I haven't had the urge to watch the The Two Towers or Return of the King since I initially saw them. I consider my desire to see a movie a second, third, fourth time and so on, the litmus test. Even though I've seen Terminator a million times, I could still watch it right now. That reminds me, I gotta get that on BR.
