I agree with your point; most movies about the main FPS character would be kind of pointless (lots of running and shooting and an occasional switch to flip). I think though that Marathon has a rich enough background to make a compelling universe for a movie. Exactly what that movie is about could be a lot of things. The history of the UESC? Durandal's insane quest for immortality? The ancient Phor slave revolts? The list goes on... and Halo inherits it.
