Why doesn't MS open up their own movie production company? I don't think that's too far fetched for them to do.

Too much money just to produce one movie.

Bill Gates could pull a Howard Hughes. 🙂

ROFLMAO. I knew that was going to be a bad movie when I read how they decided not to put fur on the alien cats (can't remember their names) to save money.

I loved taunting them in WC3. 😀

BTW, do you even get to see master chief's face in the games? Might as well cg the guy and use someone's voice.

I think it's a good idea to be strict with a video game based movie...look at all the others that have came out...the vast majority of them are warm piles

heh serious, atleast MS is taking steps to prevent hollywood from peverting their title.

Well, they could save time/money by using the soundtrack from the game as the musical score. I think it's good enough.

The reason it failed is because as a whole the plot sucked, It was a giant ripoff of Aliens, Starship Troopers and a few other sci-fi movies. Not because it was solely CGI.

I like the game, but a movie? It's going to suck really bad. Movies based off of video games are bad ideas.

I agree it was a ripoff of those movies-- (most games are ripoffs of sci fi movies and it's a weird snake eating it's tale when they try to turn them back into movies) -- but I believe it being cgi WAS a factor. i don't think people want to see quasi-humans. cartoony humans (incredibles) and anthropomorphised animals (nemo) are fine, but with big sci fi movies most people want a movie star, they want a face they recognize, a hot chick, etc.
