Hildegard Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 link What's your opinion on this? I personally don't give a sh*t because I never even played HALO, but I want to hear you HALO fans on this.....
Surreptishus Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 what he said^ I shall qualify by saying i thought HALO was overrated and that game to film is alwyas rubbish
><FISH'> Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Resident Evil...? I've played Halo 2 (and a small demo of 1) and it's a good game, nothing special. The multiplayer IMO is overrated. I really don't think the story will work for a movie.
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 they're making a splinter cell movie too. And I'm begging for a warcraft movie... "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Out of pure curiosity, what did they do? "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

Hurlshort Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 When Halo first hit the Xbox, it was pretty impressive, but Halo 2 was nothing special. Halo just had a good physics engine. Storywise it's nothing spectacular. I am intrigued to know Peter Jackson is directing. It could be a very good action movie. I'll probably see it just to support video game movies being made by decent directors.
Surreptishus Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 PJ is NOT directing, the film will be made using his production company: WETA.
kirottu Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I hope they say "No!" to Uwe. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

Bulgarian Jedi Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 In my opinion almost every single movie based on a game will not have a good story and should not be takedn very seriously.

Baley Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Uwe Boll is one of the most interesting directors I have ever had the joy of experiencing.

Baley Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 (edited) A good laugh? At least the action movies. Edited October 5, 2005 by Baley
Hurlshort Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Resident Evil wasn't terrible, but until you start seeing major games with good stories, you won't see video game movies with good stories either. When you go to see a movie based on a game you should expect action fluff, nothing more. Uwe Boll is bad though, and he's making Dungeon Siege, which is another game with no story.
><FISH'> Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Mortal Kombat...? I don't think we should dismiss this right away, it does have promise but Halo is way too science fictiony for a movie. But i do think it could turn out pretty decent, as long as they take the correct approach. And Baley is correct, if a movie is just complete and utter sh1t, then it must be funny. Look back to the recent movie thread and you'll see I mentioned Dog Soldiers. I've never laughed so much at a horror movie.
Judge Hades Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Peter Jackson of The Frighteners, Lord of the Ringstrilogy. and King Kong is executive producer. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=151249
Dark Moth Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 Dang...looks like I've been beaten for creating the thread. I loved Halo as a game, but I just don't think it would really work out as a movie. It'd make a good scifi/action flick, but probably little more than that. It just doesn't have the depth of LOTR or King Kong. I'm still dying to see it, though. Wonder who the cast is gonna be?
Darkside Posted October 5, 2005 Posted October 5, 2005 I imagine it will suck, just because game movies almost always suck. But being Halo fangirl that I am, I'll be seeing it. BTW, Halo 1 was stunning. Halo 2 just didn't live up to its name.
Musopticon? Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Halo games were meant for co-op and nothing else, but that's not a discussion this part of the board allows, so I'll leave it for later. Now, about the movie; although getting so big names for production means that the movie might have something good coming, I don't feel very hopeful for this newest thing in license movies. Sure there have been exceptions, but the universal truth goes that all movies made from games suck by default. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears.

WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 nearly the same thing for the opposite: games made from movies, most of the time suck. "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager.

ShadowPaladin V1.0 Posted October 6, 2005 Posted October 6, 2005 Halo II wasnt bad, although I dont get the hype thing or people waiting outside for 6 hours just to get one. Halo has the elements that could make a good movie it just depends how its put together. I have to agree with Volourn. Bioware is pretty much dead now. Deals like this kills development studios. 478327[/snapback]
