Who is this fake non cannon silver timeline for? Not Gamer Halo fans and normies don't even care for this. Three generations in my family have played Halo games together. Seriously back off to watch Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn again for qualityWho is this fake non cannon silver timeline for? Not Gamer Halo fans and normies don't even care for this. Three generations in my family have played Halo games together. Seriously back off to watch Halo 4 Forward Unto Dawn again for quality live action Halo. That had an ace lore depiction of Master Chief/Spartans. With compelling characters with all the diversity and none of the woke. Oh and it all ties into the games not like this dumb silver timeline. Newsflash creators series like this are supposed to be one big Advert for the game franchise. Good luck with this else world tale appeasing old Halo gamer fans and just confusing potential new Halo gamer fans. Vader, Dredd and V for Vendetta actors emoted fine with a mask/helmet on. Master Chief helmet off is the biggest mistake ever. Expand

I've only seen episode 1 but so far episode 1 was fantastic! I read that episode 2 isn't as good so I'm bracing for that.

But I really like how episode 1 went. For the special effects, most of it was great. Like when the kids were vaporized looked good. There was that bad shot where Master Chief was jumping and it looked fake but somehow jumping has looked fake in a lot of CGI (remember when Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan jumped down from the grill?). Master Chief's armor looks amazing. But rest of silver squad's armor didn't look as good. I guess they wanted MC to look special.

There is enough unknown and intrigue to want to see where the series goes.

What I'm wondering is if the rest of the series holds up in the look because it's common for a huge budget to be dedicated to the pilot and the rest goes down. Like in Spielberg's Falling Skies which was really expensive in the beginning (when Spielberg was directing) and then when the series was handed off, the budget also dropped.

As an avid fan of the Halo franchise, games, books figurines, etc. I found this show to be a complete slap in the face to people like me. Not only did it show that the makers didn't play the games but I doubt they read the books carefullyAs an avid fan of the Halo franchise, games, books figurines, etc. I found this show to be a complete slap in the face to people like me. Not only did it show that the makers didn't play the games but I doubt they read the books carefully enough to realise why this franchise is so loved by fans like myself. They have pumped it full of social justice and I can't help but feel like the portrayal of MC is so bastardised that he becomes the Mandalorian with his voice clearly muffled by his helmet, while his actions and decisions are so out of character. And this is just scratching the surface with issues I have on the making of this show, I haven't even gotten to the juicy parts as I don't want to spoil the torture event that will be for any unsuspecting viewer that is a fan. WHY ARE THERE 500 YEAR OLD CHEVIES IN THE SHOW?!

In summary, the show was torture to watch, an hour I will never get back.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had very low expectations but the show actually surprises you. There are some gripes I have but nothing I can’t live with to enjoy the show, I am not a big fan of the face reveal and I hope they show 117 with his helmet on for most the show, nothing against the actor but that’s the thing why with master chief he is a mystery in his own way. We should keep it that way. I do like that we are getting a lot more character development with him tho it’s a great way too look at things. The cgi is great, Other than the Spartans feeling a little light mostly everything else is prettey too Teri. The story like so far is going in a direction I really didn’t see comming, and I don’t love it but I don’t hate it. It has sparked my interest tho and I hope the show keeps its momentum Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's just not good. It's subpar acting, subpar CGI (hell the expanse has better CGI and that's from Sci Fi), and every character from the core series, and faction, is changed from their Orginal incarnations. Nothing to do with physical appearances, but with WHO and WHAT the characters/factions.

The Covenant would NEVER have a human. Their entire early belief system is about complete and utter genocide. The fact a human is included is literally a contradiction to who the Covenant is.

The Same goes for the Spartans. The entire point of SII project is stop insurrection. We. Know that, and in the main lore, the Spartans KNOW they were kidnapped. They understand that, but they put it aside because the Covenant don't care and the Covenant is a threat that everyone must unite against. Making Chief go Awol in the middle of the war is idiotic. Chiefs core beliefs are to protect all of humanity whatever the cost. Besides, the only reason he ever goes Awol in the main lore is after decades of battle and years of being with Cortana who changes his views about himself. Plus his alliance withe the Arbiter.

Basically the characters are hollow copies of their true selves and its boring and dull.

La serie es buena aunque no esté apegada a la historia del juego (nos lo dejaron saber desde un principio lo cual está bien) hay muchas cosas buenas como el sonido de recarga de los escudos de los Spartan, el sonido de camuflaje de los élitesLa serie es buena aunque no esté apegada a la historia del juego (nos lo dejaron saber desde un principio lo cual está bien) hay muchas cosas buenas como el sonido de recarga de los escudos de los Spartan, el sonido de camuflaje de los élites como en HALO CE, referencias como "este túnel no es una formación natural" Incluso los élites hacen su famoso "WORT WORT WORT" hay efectos que si se ven algo mal producidos pero otros que se ven de maravilla. He jugado Halo desde su primer día de lanzamieno con Halo Ce y me encanta esta franquicia. Hay cosas que no me han gustado de Halo en general como el arte en los niveles de HALO 4 y HALO 5 lo cual no me quita el amor al universo de Halo. Sabemos que la serie no es ni será una obra maestra pero agradezco que aun tengan en cuenta a Halo a pesar de que salió hace 21 años. Este tipo de contenido hace que halo no quede en el olvido y que tenga su importancia ante el mundo. Hay cosas que debemos aceptar aunque no nos guste si queremos que halo no muera. Como ejemplo a mi no me gusta para nada y detesto las orejas de gato en Halo Infinite pero entiendo que hay personas más jóvenes a quienes si les gusta, ellos darán vida a la franquicia y dinero, así que si hay gente jugando y viendo cualquier sere de la misma, habrá halo para mucho tiempo. En conclusión, la serie es bastante decente. Expand

Master Chief has always been a mysterious hero who was never shown without a helmet and only showed his childhood images. so to screw up the movie on the first episode, it's necessary to wait. it is immediately clear that the series was made by incompetent people who do not even know the universe and the plot. it's just a shame!!! I offer to boycott this picture!!! we will not allow Master Chief to be bullied! Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you grew up loving this series be prepared for disappointment. This had the potential to be great, producers were giver the opportunity to make it great, and they flew it into the ground like Captain Keyes did The Pillar of Autumn. I can only hope that the rest of it doesn't end up like The Pillar. It starts off with a almost exclusively non-white female dominant casting with a few whites thrown in to not seem racist. This Star Wars 7 spacer brat is not only lucky, but able to outrun 20 elite's AFTER her 5 friends are picked of brutally with plasma fire within seconds while she manages to send off a flare to signal to her people. They get torn to shreds in some great CGI. The Elite's rip the insurgents to pieces and then the Spartans come in and you expect it to get good. So it does for a bit but then some continuity starts popping up, heavy machine guns used by the humans are useless but as soon as a Spartan grabs it now it has power. They wreak the Elite's in typical Spartan fashion managing to save our now even luckier space rat. After the Chief and Spartans walk away from the lone survivor they make their way to the main continuity mess up. These Spartans we know to be children told an elaborate lie and given a goal to be humanity's heros are no more then literal BRAINWASHED super soldiers. Flash over to the Covenant who have been eradicating the humans like Hitler did the Jews, now have a young white human as a "Blessed One" and seen as an equal or even greater then the High Prophets. Not only is she fluent in their language and refuses to teach them anything in human dialects, she gives them advice on how to deal with humans. Right back to the UNSC where the casting for the Keyes Family, a military proud, to the letter, respectful family is replaced with a Jacob Keyes who doesn't care for military procedure with beards and regulation buzz cuts, he is a wuss and can barely stand up to his strongly opinionated daughter about disposing of the brat. This same child who would rather lie about aliens killing her whole settlement and blame it on her savior's because of a grudge regarding her mother's death. This brat then gets thru to John somehow and he starts to go rogue since these old repressed memories sparked up completely disregarding his Motherish like figure Dr. Halsey ordered him not to. The head honcho of the UNSC is of course a woman, orders him brought back and the girl killed so now John has to save himself and the girl. Doing so he is then "threatened" by this girl and I say that because she just picks up his rifle while he is still fully armoured. He tells her it won't even dent his armour then proceeds to humanize himself by removing the helmet. This is a huge no-no but the actor did a great job playing Sierra-117 and although a bit more cold then the real deal he does great. They keep the helmet off for the rest of show. Overall, it has absolutely nothing to do with Halo other then the rights to use the characters. The steaming hot turd they call a story completely built on messages throw at you deliberately and under the radar while making up their own lies to tell this story. The casting was inclusive while being exclusively almost non white. CGI was great for the elite's but simple things are overlooked. The spacer girl is Jesus like with her luck of avoiding death while being indignant, ungrateful, disrespectful and a life coach to the Chief. The Keyes Family was casted for their skin color, nothing to do with how well they portray the actual character. Covenant hail some white human and while she learns more about them, she gives nothing back. So in the end, I won't even give this a mark. I didn't pay for it so I don't feel like I wasted my money but don't go outta your way to watch it immediately. Feel free to watch it never or if you just wanna watch an attempt at shoving the message down your throat while messing with a well developed universe still watch something else.Ive watched the second now and it is worse then the first episode. Been told about the third and I now give up on these producers. The white girl with the Covenant is not only able to operate a Covenant ship like an AI but she also wields the flood like a pet. Or at least I think it's the flood since of course the producers didn't read or play or watch anything that came before. This show is **** and the creates of this atrocious waste of money should be skinned alive and strung up by their ham strings, beaten like a pinata and left out for the crows to pick at. Expand

After suffering through the entire first season, my opinion has changed drastically. The special effects are great. Actors for the most part are great. But whoever is in charge of writing for this show needs to be let go. Even if this didn't have the Halo name attached to it, it's just bad TV in general. I was all on board with creative liberties. I knew they couldn't just "do the games". But oh my gosh did they bastardize and completely disrespect the source material. The ONLY character they did right was Dr. Halsey. Cortana was great as far as acting goes, but the writers didn't do her any favors. With so many great stories out there to tell from the source material, it's insulting this is what we fans got after waiting for so long. This show is just plain bad TV, and utter trash as a Halo story adaptation. I will not be back for season 2. Expand

Logical holes, the lack of a clear motivation of the central characters, inexplicable deus ex machines.

The sets and special effects are overwhelmingly cheap and poorly designed that it looks like they were made by a first-year student.
And all this is only in the first episode of the series. If the creators could not set the quality bar in the first series, then it will only get worse.
The only thing the show could be praised for is the design of the aliens and Spartan armor.
Other than that, don't waste your time watching this show. Especially if you love Halo.

And there is no reason to add the Covenant Girl. We do not need a romance story for Master Chief. And in episode 9, WHY DID NO ONE SHOOT THE PROPHETS!? Who is the show even for? It's not for me and the Halo fans. I bet it's for p*rn addicts. I'll say this story is written by WATTPAD USERS. This is not a fan fic. Not even close. Fan fics are made by fans. But these idiots openly admit it and proudly state that they did not play the god damn games. Okay, my rant is over. The action is good, which shows how strong the Spartans are. And the acting is pretty good. Please don't hate on them. Hate on the writers. But once again, WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!? Seriously? What is the actual **** is wrong with you Paramount? 343, I didn't expect that you would allow something that is even worse than Halo 5. You humanized Master Chief well in Halo 4 and Infinite. The art style is good when it comes to weapons and armor. But one thing that bugs me is the inconsistency. Like there were a group of marines surrounding Halsey, then when Kai runs in, they disappear? And the pistols the marines used when Makee attacked them. Why don't they have the magnums? Expand

If you played any of the Halo games or read any of the books and like them, steer clear of this dumpster fire.
If you don't know what a Halo is, nor care, maybe you'd like it but there are plenty of sci-fi series that are far superior.

If a non-Halo fan watches it... well I hope they rewatch episodes to understand anything. This is just a slog of a film that really should've (and could've been better).

Also, why did they make Captain Keyes and his daughter black/mixed? If they wanted to have more black characters where is my boy Sergeant Avery Johnson?

Hard to distinguish this show between other sci-fi shows.

Lackluster and un-relatable storylines for the already formed fan base before the tv show was even thought of. If you aren’t a fan of Halo already then you may come to enjoy this show, but if you came into the series with even the slightest idea of the Halo universe then I wish you best of luck watching this current mess.

The show is capable of becoming one of the best sci-fi shows if it just embraced what Halo is.

Originally CortanaThe series has the potential to be good, but it feels like they are throwing it away with every episode so far. The Master Chief is humanized too much, and the Cortana AI's purpose feels twisted in comparison to the games. Originally Cortana was designed as a companion and logistics support AI for the Master Chief in order to improve his combat abilities in ground warfare and to run strategic support for Cruiser class ships during space warfare, not as a complete replacement for a Spartan's mind. In fact Cortana and John 117's relationship through the Halo games provides a much more dynamic and compelling way to Humanize the Masterchief as she is his partner during his missions.
I'm not saying they had to completely do away with Kwan's Story but using an unknown Rebel teenager to Humanize the Master Chief felt off.
Another aspect that feels wrong is the so called blessed ones. They effectively eliminate the entire reason why the Covenant wanted to destroy the Human race by making only a select few people be reclaimers which also undo's Hundreds of thousands of years of Halo Canon.
The chosen one troupe has been beaten to death already and Master Chief's accomplishments where never about him being some sort of chosen one in the first place, he was a product Human engineering and as Cortana states it Luck.

I'm both a fan and player of the video game and I know what kind of toxicity exists around the Halo franchise.

So all the complaints about how it wouldn't respect the canon were to be expected, but just like a comic book or book adaptation, no one said these should be exact copies of the game. If you want that, then play the damn game.

Now speaking of the show, I do understand the changes. These were more than necessary because this show needs a bigger audience than just fans of the source material.
How well does it work for it? Well that's a different question.

The main story is solid, although I do think it lacked a little more action. It's quite understandable that there wouldn't be shootouts in every episode, but there was a deficiency in that area.
What it does well even with the CGI failing at times, is enough. Not great but for the most part it's solid.

Kwan Ha's narrative was completely useless though.
I didn't understand the need for that character and I hope I don't see her in season 2. Other than that I thought the main narrative even with its shortcomings was entertaining enough.

There is a lot of room for improvement of course, and I hope they get their act together heading into season 2 because this show has a chance to blossom if given the time. We'll have to see what happens, but in the meantime I can recommend it.

I thought this series would be a disaster, but the truth is that it's fun. The CGI is impressive, and Pablo Schreiber delivers as Master Chief. The story is average, but the intrigue is enough to keep me interested. The battle scene in episode 5 is sick.
I am looking forward to season 2 now.

Pablo Schreiber gives a descent and refreshing human side of Master Chief that makes sense for a tv show. Some of the changes the show has made are not really a major issue but adds more depth to the lore. The show is more story driven but interesting. And when the action starts, it is awesome and feels more like the games and is well earned. Hope to see some of the characters from the game appear in the show.

The rest of the casts & crews have done a respectable job of the show. The suits are amazing, the sounds effects are done very well. The special effects, especially the aliens are impressive and accurate. The action choreography are soo good. If there is any negative that I have is that the voice of master chief doesn't stand out as well yet. Though this could be done on purpose to show Master Chief's growth. This show could go on for seven season and am excited to see its journey.

THIS is why we cannot have nice things! The "affirmative action" casting or occasional CGI misses will almost certainly date this show quite accurately. But that is where the legitimate criticism bombarding this show ends. Social politics aside, the casting is excellent. Schreiber was a large surprise to someone who only remembers him from The Wire but he does a great job of introducing an essential third dimension to the Master Chief's character. Pairing Spartan 117 with Jen Taylor as Cortana (a welcome return of the original voice) could, with some tighter scripting develop the characters into an iconic screen duo. The action sequences, which are frankly exceptional for a TV show, are still unfortunately a little thin on the ground. If the show can build a little momentum and shift gears from dragging exposition and clunky "character building" to actually telling the story of the titular "Halo" (that I've been excitedly waiting decades to see) it could easily become worthy of the 10.

I'm pleased to say that by episode 6 we get our first glimpse of the vast space structure, so I'm cautiously optimistic that the remainder of the season will have a little more story driven focus. My fingers are firmly crossed for the future of this show.
