We're past the days when every video game to film adaptation proved a massive dud. Some TV Shows based on games are genuinely great.

Halo not even in the list and it shouldn't be

[–] probably 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I watched halo the way I watch most films made of books I've read. Going in treating it as its own thing. And I rather enjoyed it. The whole not showing his face wasn't even something in the full story. Just something they backed in to accidentally in the games. The books have him with his helmet off a lot early on even after getting mjolnir.

But it probably isn't top 5. That being said, I love sonic stuff and I'm not sure boom is either.

From what I read it was specifically made by people unfamiliar with the Halo universe to bring Halo to more people. A good idea on paper, but hiring writers who never played the games, never read the books, and were told to stay away from the source material? Not only did it not attract new fans but it also kept die-hard fans like myself away, so there was no one else to recommend it.
