Halo

It took me a few episodes before I started to really like it. I'm a hardcore Halo fan and I wanted to see something very close to what happens in the games. And this show isn't what I was expecting. It's not like the games. It's a lot that's different. I still don't understand why they didn't just make something that's close to the source material. It has a huge following and the story has a lot of ways you can expand upon some things that they didn't do in the games. A good example is The Last of Us on HBO. They definitely get it. That's how the Halo tv series should've been made. But I started to tell myself this is a different universe from the game. A different timeline. After that I started to enjoy it. The one thing they got 100% right is the look. The VFX is fantastic. It very much so looks like Halo. And it has a great sci-fi story. Just don't expect it to be like the games. Maybe if it was it might not have gotten canceled.

Having played the games and loving the scifi of it, I was really looking forward to the Halo TV show.

Season 1 took some getting use to, Season 2 is a whole lot better. I understand and respect Master Chief taking his helmet off to show the human perspective and emotional depth of the Spartan. It has grown on me an I like it!

The actors do a phenomenal job of portraying these (super) soldiers, and I love the powerhouse moments of Master Chief both in and out of his suit. Halsey Is also a beautiful gem in the series.

Does it need to be exactly the same as the games?

No not in my opinion, it is still Halo trough and trough.

This Halo Universe has a lot of material and so many stories to tell. It can't be easy to make with many CGI components and the actors physical routines are demanding, but they are doing it! Keep it up!

Season 2 is a whole lot stronger, and I pray we have more Seasons to come.

Having read mixed reviews about Halo, I approached it with an open mind.

I was aware that the show deviated from the game's plot. However, this didn't deter my interest as I was more focused on the series as a standalone entity.

I enjoyed watching this series; the special effects and action scenes were phenomenal and always visually engaging. The battles felt visceral and intense, transporting me right into the heart of the conflict. The iconic vehicles and weapons from the games were translated beautifully to the screen.

The plot was sometimes a bit convoluted as it weaved multiple storylines together. There were moments where the pacing felt uneven, with some sections dragging slightly. However, the core story remained engaging, thanks in large part to the strong cast. The characters were well-developed and brought to life with excellent performances. The cinematography was also top-notch, creating a stunning visual world that complemented the story perfectly.

Thankfully, the second season maintained the quality established in the first. It left me wanting more and eagerly anticipating season 3. If you're looking for a visually stunning sci-fi action series with a compelling story and strong characters, then Halo is definitely worth checking out, especially if you can go in with an open mind about its deviations from the source material.

I actually enjoyed Halo a lot more than I thought I would. It's based off a video game about an enhanced super soldier they call Master Chief and his team as they defend humanity from Aliens and it takes place in the 26th Century. The special effects stand out as you can tell they put a lot of money into the show. It may start a little slow for some while it builds it world and it's characters but I found it extremely entertaining. It may get a little complicated for some of you who don't pay close attention though. I enjoyed this show so much that I binged the entire first two seasons over a weekend so I'm really looking forward to them making a few more seasons.

Growing up playing all the games you have expectations, during I begining of the show I was disapointed. But now I see it for what it is, a fairly good adaptation. They may not follow the story to a T but it heads in a same direction. I thoughly enjoy the show and the characters within it. If you play the games you generally know what's going to happen next even if it doesn't happen the exact same way. I love a new twist, just like last of us it's not the same all throughout. Though the last of us is closer to the source material, Halo does what its needs to and entertains.

Can't wait to see what's coming, just finished episode 7 of season 2, and I have a pretty good idea of what was discovered by the scientists. CANT WAIT.
