Master Chief: A supporting role in Halo movie

In my opinion, mindless action can still make good movies, good entertainment. Though that would be it, entertaining.

And.....Halo isn't Master Chief, to simple fanboys maybe, but to me Master Chief is simply a tool of humanity, a weapon. Whenever a 'fan' says Master Chief IS Halo it just seems stupid. (i know you've said you're not a halo fan)

But heh, there is only Bungie to blame for making the MC the only noticable character for fans of the games, them and their way of showing the games from the perspective of one soldier.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I think two or three simultaneous storylines would be the best way, then we can have MC in a lead role, as well as some other characters. Everyone is happy.

The problem is people that think Master Chief should display emotion at all! He's a cybornectic unemotional warrior. People are always emotionally attached to unemotional characters. That's why there's so much affinity for the chief!

Vader had tons of emotional backstory!
Getting the same dude, would be totally unnecessary!

The Chief shows remorse for every ally that dies around him. He often thinks of deeper emotional thoughts, but holds themback due to his selfless nature and the whole thing with being constantly bombarded with plasma.

Again, Bungie fails to get much story across in the games, unfortunatly.

Nah, Alien wasn't crap at all, in fact it has the one thing Halo doesnt have, scare factor. lol. I only meant the fact that the woman defeated all aliens up to alien 4 pretty much single handedly. But I'll cut it out, because at least the aliens look worth shooting at, lol.

Thats another problem with Halo, the aliens would seem cheezy in a movie, I like aliens that look like they are going to destroy us, not ones that are trying their best to. Halo reminds me too much of Star Wars, Vadar and MC, aliens speaking english and prophecies and floating space objects like rings and orbs or death, light sabers, lmao, they are so alike its embarrassing. All Halo needs now is to baffle its veiwers and none Halo fans in talk about Jedis and childlings and whatnot and whallah, there you have it, a geek convention, there was Star Trek, then Star wars not Star Halo :)

No, but seriously MC should appear in it, but just to help out, what they could do is create the idea of his legacy, the story could be about a regular soldier, and he hears so much about this MC, but has never actually seen him, when all but hope is left, thats when MC makes an appearance, and like Halo 3, raises the hope and aspiration to fight to the death by the soldiers. Maybe end the story with a tradegy, happy endings are gay. I wouldn't mind Cortana appearing in it and communicating to the high officers, or they could just add a completely new Cortana lookalike that communicates with the famous Cortana. The to finish it off, add the drama, the death of friends, the leaving of families, and the president making a speech about how we must all stop being racist etc to each other, and fight back against the covanent, oh, and somewhere in the middle of the movie or trilogy if its anything like LOTR, they could throw in the flood to actually be the scare factor Halo is missing, much like the sub plots in LOTR with the Balrog and giant spider. There you have it, a simple but potential oscar winner, now just to touch up on it :)

Oh manm, i'd love some horror element to a Halo movie, would be easily done with a lone stranded human, not even a soldier, but a technician, in a flood-infested ship with only a couple of Flood combat forms.

but he wasn't the main character. he was the star, yes, but it ultimately wasn't his story, struggle, conflict, resolution. he was just there to blow stuff up, and he did it rather well!

Terminator sucks as a goodie two shoes. I only liked 1 and 2, only because 1 he was bad, and 2 there was the mercury terminator. 3 was unoriginal, 4 without Arnold will suck :P

haha, i think he must've been mistaken with the recent AvP movies!

Alien will always be a classic in my book.

there were nice tricks to give the illusion Cortana was an emotional AI. also her and the Chief did make a great duo: the chatterbox and silent giant type.

but do you seriously think that the mass market will give a damn in 2 hours, unless they had played the games?

the movie needs a "Saving Private Ryan" status, with Cortana as the glue, a Keyes character( Miranda or her father) as the Main character and Chief riding Rocket-shotgun.

That is exactly it, they need to make that movie. But we know that if Halo ever becomes a film it will become a shallow husk not recognisable to any Halo fan.

LOL, i'd watch that movie, good sir!

Lol, what if he took off his helmet in the movie, and surprise, surprise he was black or Indian :O World controversy. All Halo fans apart from Blacks or Indians of course would ditch the series.

Breaking new!: Halo fans ditch halo.

Or worse: Michael Kelso from That '70s Show is actually the Chief and he says "Haha... That is a BURN!"

Agreed. :D

Though it isn't neccesserily the Master Chief as an individual that inspires. But the myth of the Spartans and their secret battles. That would be the awesome legend, the soldiers that are rarely seen but fighting the secret and most important battles.



And why would someone point out about V for Vendetta? When you see Master Chief standing their making long-ass riddles and speeches, please tell me. lulz
