Yet as you can see it IS an argument here. Halo is a bigger franchise as a game. Uncharted can translate very well to a movie, see Indiana Jones and Tomb Raider. Yet Halo's genre is terrible for movies. Have you seen Forward unto Dawn? Yeah that's what i mean.

Yeah I've seen FUD, it's an amazing show customers gave it 4/5 stars on amazon.

If you had played Halo 4, you would've known that Halo has the potential to be the best video game to movie adaptation.

And it got 7.2 on IMDB and 8.6 on TV.com (very few votes there though). Overall, great grades for a small series made by a not-so-famous director. I imagine in the hands of Ridley Scott, this can turn into pure movie magic.

You must take into account that the series was aimed mainly at the existing fans, and was not very widely popular among mainstream audience.

But, if you also compare ratings for TV-series on IMDB, you will notice that the good ratings start around 8.0 actually, a big leap from feature film ratings. Usually, if a series gets below 8.0, in 9 out if 10 cases, it is just of an average quality. If you compare it with similar series like Stargate (8.2) and Battlestar Galactica (8.8), realize it was watched mainly by fans, and still managed only 7.2, it is a signal that the series was average at best. Should the movie garner the same response, it would be a complete bomb, with IMdB no higher than 6.2...
