Peter Jackson to produce HALO

This just in! Peter Jackson (Lord Of The Rings, King Kong) is to produce the live action film adaptation of Bungie's HALO the award winning, record-breaking shooter according to their website. Having only played the demo and although I had to give the game a miss due to time constraints (I can't play everything) I'll certainly be looking forward to this now. The rumour that Ewe Boll is directing the movie is a load of shit, and you can quote me on that!!

Major General Creedon said...: No, you're thinking of "Soldier Of Fortune". Halo was about an armoured warrior "Master Chief".; Wednesday, 5 October 2005 at 17:10:00 GMT+1

Major General Creedon said...: "planned maintenance"? What planned maintenance. I don't plan maintenance, I wait 'till it's broken like normal people. Even if I did plan maintenance, I wouldn't tell people my plan like some Bond villian ;); Wednesday, 5 October 2005 at 23:49:00 GMT+1
Blog My Hole said...: I am familiar with Halo "Colnel". I have spent many wasted hours battling on the alien ship, and later the alien planet, with Grunt O' Connor. I believe I even finished the damnable thing!!!!!; Thursday, 6 October 2005 at 14:49:00 GMT+1

THE GENERAL'S RATINGS

No Star: The greatest load of shit ever, no redeeming qualities. It's creators are blacklisted and will be shot on sight if they don't redeem themselves before I meet them. Seriously - Dear God why?

1 Star (*): Awful crap. A complete waste of time. Should not have been made.

1.5 Stars (*1/2): Bad movie. I'm not happy about having paid to see this.

2 Stars (**): Dissapointing. Not that good at all except for perhaps a few select scenes or elements. I'll choose not to see this again.

2.5 Stars (**1/2): Glad I saw it, but ultimately not good enough. I won't turn it off if it appears on TV, but I'll have it on while doing something else, just to wait for the cool bit I remember.

3 Stars (***): Meh! Middle of the road movie. Balance between love and hated. May watch this on TV years later / may not.

3.5 Stars (***1/2): Enjoyable, but I would need to see it again, possibly on TV before I would purchase it.

4 Stars (****): Extreamly good. I would prefer to watch this again on Blu Ray a year or two on rather than see it on TV, but...

4.5 Stars (****1/2): Several minor flaws but not enough to distract you from excellence. Most likely will be added to my BD collection.

5 Stars (*****): An outstanding work of art. Practically Flawless. To be added to my BD collection.

5 Star Plus (*****+): One of the finest examples of it's genre. Flawless. Automatically becomes part of my BD collection upon release.

EXEMPTION GRANTED: To be granted an exemption, a movie has literally to be amongst the greatest movies of all time. Examples include Robocop (1987), The Matrix (1999), Mission Impossible 2 (2000), Transformers (2007) and Iron Man 2 (2010). For religious purposes it is accepted that all Star Wars movies are exempt by default and cannot be reviewed.
