    Youtube videos have done a better job than this.

    You can tell the people who made this series didn't play the original games and would rather tell their own uninteresting take with the IP.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This "show" has serious issues and I am not referring to the fact that the developers of it admitted to have not looked at the games. It does have its positives, but the negatives definitely out weigh them.

    Positives:

    - Special effects/CGI during combat/military scenes.
    - Vehicles from the games i.e. Warthog, Pelicans etc.
    - it is violent i.e. when someone dies there is blood and guts.
    - Prophet of Mercy is seen and accurately designed.

    Negatives:

    - Characters are poorly written and portrayed.
    - Dialogue is boring.
    - Elites are poorly designed which says a lot considering how poorly designed they were in Halo 4/5.
    - Where are the Jackals, Grunts etc.?
    - Why do we see Master Chiefs face so soon if at all?
    - Why does Master Chief sit down with an insurrectionists (the rebels) and start discussing classified information?
    - No Steve Downes as the voice of Master Chief (They could have used him for his voice while in armor).
    - No Blue Team (Show has Silver team?).
    - Human character working with the Covenant. The Covenant wants to eradicate humanity.
    - Game/s takes place during the 26th century yet we see the rebels using 20th/21st century vehicles and weaponry.

    343 Industries who worked closely with Paramount/Amblin to make this show knows full well that NONE of this crap would be acceptable in their games or expanded universe content i.e. books/comics, and yet they fully supported it (Looking at YOU Kiki Wolfkill).

    This review will be updated as the show progresses, but I doubt it will improve.

    it would probably have been a better idea to just buy the rights to some fanmade videos... those are lightyears ahead of this series.
    this is another exampled of some tone deaf studio exec deciding they need to adapt a video game ip to tv. and as so often they do a faceplant hard.

    I made a metacritic account just so I could make sure to put my review in for this garbage show. It doesn't feel like Halo and is boring as hell. Additionally, CBS is trying to silence any and all negative criticism towards the show and Paramount+, which is also not worth the money.

    What a loss opportunity for the production to make the series as much closer to the real lore of Halo. They could have just help boosting player count for Halo (Multiplayer is dying now in pc platform) just by creating this new fans from the show (That should have been good). Pretty much a loss for 343.

    Halo came out over 20 years ago, and finally the much anticipated and rumored series for it has come. Instead of making an actual Halo series and you know, playing the games, they made a Mandalorian copy. If you're going to make some Hollywood high budget video game movie or series, it helps to y'know, play the game.

    This ain't it chief.

    This isn't Halo. I have no clue what storyline this is following because I stopped playing after Halo Reach when I learned Bungie was no longer producing the series. I think I can speak for most original fans when I say that the decision to follow the 343 timeline was a bad one. This reminds me of the Witcher, it has showrunners who are not interested in

    This reminds me of the Witcher, it has showrunners who are not interested in respecting the source material and are looking to create their own spin/narrative which will undoubtedly be utilized to spew some political nonsense in the future, mark my words. This show is another example of talentless hacks trying to capitalize on an IP with an established fanbase that they did not earn.

    There are no positives that came out of this first episode for me, except maybe the gore and the design of the prophets.

    Also, I have to mention that the anti-white racism, also known as diversity, is off the charts here. I think the only prominent white male in the show is John himself, which, if you have played the original games, is completely contrary to the source material. Captain Keyes and his daughter, who are white in the games are now black in the show, why? Imagine if Sergeant Johnson was played by Nicolas Cage... It would make no god damn sense, so why swap it the other way? Speaking of Johnson... where the hell is he? A charismatic black character that is beloved by fans of the series is nowhere to be found.

    No disrespect to Pablo Schreiber, but Steve Downes is the only voice for Chief, and to see his face unmasked early on was a terrible decision with rippling consequences. Master Chief is not some empathetic, joke cracking, friendly guy, he's a borderline psychopath that had all his memories and emotion stripped away to create the perfect super soldier. Why is he protecting and befriending some trash character that nobody cares about?

    Oh and feel free to include Martin O'Donnell's legendary soundtracks and score, you know, the one that was absolutely groundbreaking for its time...

    Bottom line: This is not Halo, this is some woke hack's take on fan fiction and is truly an abomination when compared to the magic of the original games. Forward Unto Dawn was a superior adaptation to this drivel.

    - Anti-white racism
    - Unnecessary diversity
    - No Steve Downes
    - No Martin O'Donnell soundtrack
    - Questionable CGI
    - Race swapping
    - Master Chief's character is all wrong

    These are the negatives I have after one episode, I can't see this getting any better. If you are a fan of the original games (+ ODST & Reach), you will not enjoy this.

    It's just another show plagued by identity politics, with poor decisions, changing the mottos of the big names like chief and produce garbage without knowing the source material and the showrunners openly admitted to this, they didn't play the games and don't know the universe.

    edit: after watching 3 it went from bad to absolute trash. i am disgusted with what these fools are allowed to do. they do this often with different properties, from witcher, star wars, LOTR to etc.... angers me that great names and franchises are given to terrible incompetent "writers/producers" who then just dump their own politics and ideas in to make it "their own" and completely ignore the source material. i mean if you were actually "good", then you'd be the one that wrote or created something great and not the clown who simply ruined it.

The show is something different than the games and the changes and new characters cant win me over. I think the games were already a blueprint for a movie adaption with not many changes needed. Even a Halo creator came out and roasted the show (Not the Halo I made). Lets start with the elephant in the room: The ending of season 1 is so horrible that I expected many angry rants. I don't know how they want people to come back for a second season. Lets continue with the problems: You barely see in the show that humanity is loosing a war against the superior alien Covenant forces with billions of casualties. Master Chief is hollow compared to the games and also other characters feel inferior like Cortana, Miranda Keyes or Elizabeth Halsey. Also Cortanas and Master Chiefs incredible relationship is ruined or non existing here. I know they want something different than the games but everything will be judged against the source material no matter what franchise is used and you have to deliver. This is something that will be come up again and again. While I see the potential of Kwans story and character it should be done better. Also does the struggle of 1 world matter when planet after planet is purged / glassed by the Covenant? The character Makee is an interesting choice that I would defend. Unluckily she is wasted by the script. Also there is not much action in the show. I hate bashing here but the choices were questionable if they would win the Halo fans over. The actors are fine for me after some thinking. I cant blame them for doing / delivering the script when their roles are different form the sources. Pablo Schreiber does a great job but does not feel like Master Chief. I praise him for the performance. Yerin Ha as Kwan and Charlie Murphy are wasted by the script but do a good performance. I cant blame them. I shorten this by saying all actors are decent to fine. I praise the action scenes but those are sparingly used. Some sets and effects are not that good but it is not that bad. I repeat this is not the Halo of the source material or what it need to be. Overall I think it is a missed opportunity and overconfidence that they can improve Halo harmed the show. The source was a blue print that should be used with some adaptations like Lord of the Rings. It would have millions of Halo fans watching and praising it instead. I give a 3/10. Expand

    Halo "silver timeline" is immediately ruined in the first episode. Master Chief is portrayed in a ridiculous way and he takes his helmet off in the first episode. He shouldve never done that, let alone in the first episode. The recovered artifact is a huge plot device, when you need to use such in your pilot everyone knows the show is a failure.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty much what I expected, c tier sci fi action show. It wasn't complete trash; there are spartans which are cool as hell and some geniune tension around 3/4 through... but there's little here to get me excited for the next episode. I was really hoping the show would subvert my expectations and go in a different direction.

    Halo combat, while extremely fun is very arcade-y. The TTK is long, and lets be honest you're just strafing around throwing a few grenades and finishing off kills with a quick melee attack. So obviously that doesn't work for tv show action shots, you need to spice it up. The direction they went was the predictable one. Shoot a little bit, get up close and get in a very lackluster martial arts fight between the spartan and the elite.

    This is made worse by the elites' really bad CGI, the CGI is passible but not great throughout but the elites themselves were shockingly bad. One of the tricks to helping convince the audience the CGI is real, is to partially obscure the CGI with environmental effects or lighting. Instead they chose the first fight scene to be in broad daylight on a desert planet, they stick out like a sore thumb. I can't even blame the animators here, the budget seems big but over the span of a season those VFX hours will dry up quick.

    There are also a small variety of factions and characters in these games. They start the show with these rebels who have incredibly forgettable dialog and acting, didn't show up in the games (I have played most but not all so i might be wrong). Then immediately kill them off. They leave one alive, who's clearly going to be the other main protagonist throughout the rest of the show. Listen, Chief's a good dude, but he's a diehard soldier that lays it all on the line for humanity, he's not going to go on an outcasts journey throughout the galaxy. The dynamic duo just strikes me as out of character for chief, you play the games solo most of the time, every once and a while running by some marines and getting them out of a tough spot.

    I also want to mention. They don't use chief's voice. The voice actor is apparently too old because they planned on showing his face. WHY??? We've heard the same voice for 20 years, they forgo that to show that characters face, who has NEVER SHOWN HIS FACE IN 20 years.

    I could go on and on so here's what I had hoped for: I wish the tone and direction was a dark war movie, kind of like if they picked up from where the famous Halo 3 ad left off. Think Halo 1917, band of brothers, saving private ryan etc. I wish they had looked at the games (which they specifically said they didn't do LOL), and said, how can we tell this exact same story but with a tone, art direction, and cinematography that could get my dad interested. Kept the supporting character list to the grizzled soldiers we know and love.

    You can tell they looked at things like the Mandelorean(which I thought was great) just based on how this story is shaping up, but with that goal in mind the execution is falling flat on its face.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The only reason I gave it a 3 is because set design is decent and effects were "on par". The color correction though when Kwan went into the small grasslands area was horrendous. It was laughable bad.

    This show completely misunderstands the character of John (117, Master Chief) and also manages to make a show that disgusted me at the same time. I expected Halo to have violence, but not on the level of Suicide Squad in the first 15 minutes. I get it - people like edgy, but this is Halo. We don't need a child (or kid) character getting painted by the blood of her child friends five minutes into the show. I also don't want a Halo show where the elite brutally murder women and children at the beginning. Plus, the dismemberment and gore is insane. It would be R-rated, if it was in theaters.

    Master Chief could've swooped in one minute sooner and saved the day and less gore would've made a show with better. I can't speak for other aspects of the show because I didn't make it past this scene. I turned it off after Master Chief abandoned the kid on the planet.

    343 and Microsoft were idiots to endorse this garbage. If I was them, I'd get your names removed from the credits. They ruined a good opportunity.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pretty solid set designs, costumes and cgi. But wow the dialogue. Bad fan fiction level. Maybe it'll get better but not holding my breath. Expand

    Una vaga adaptación de un lore increíble cómo el que tiene Halo, lo único sobresaliente los efectos especiales.

    That "show" makes me physically sick. Bad CGI, awful acting, EMPATHETIC MASTER CHIEF.

    Action was well shot, and well done. Watching Chief kicking the covenants ass was awesome to see. The story, removing the helmet in episode one, and adding characters I could care less about is going to be its downfall.

    Very weak series, they tried to seal it with a little agenda. The low investment and bad quality of the CGI made the series look like a fan made.

    Hail to the Chief? Not quite, but despite some uneven plotting, this is a worthy adaptation that promises better things to come.

    Where this all goes and whether the balance tips more toward character and story or more toward video game-like battle scenes is unclear, but if the first two episodes are any indication, character stories will win out. As long as that remains the case, I’ll gladly go along for this sci-fi ride.

    The obvious parallels are with The Mandalorian, another show about a seemingly invincible, murderous space warrior who embarks on a path towards becoming a total sweetie. If that’s the long-term plan here, neither the show nor Schreiber has quite nailed it yet.
