In Response To: Re: Just saw it (Miguel Chavez)


: IMO, one of the best critiques around is:
: http://badassdigest.com/2012/06/17/film-crit-hulk-smash-the-damon-lindleof-intervention

: Pretty much hits the nail on all my problems w/ the flick.

: - M

Just read through that and when I hit this I went "-GASP- That's how I felt about Halo 2!!!"

"AND HELL, ON A FUNCTIONAL LEVEL YOU CAN'T TEASE OUT AN IDEA IN A MOVIE AND THEN IN THE END, JUST SAY THE ENTIRE THING WILL BE FURTHER EXPLORED IN SEQUELS. THERE'S A WAY IT MAY WORK IN EPISODIC TELEVISION (FOR A TIME), BUT WHEN IT COMES TO FILMS? IT IS THE MOST WRONG KIND OF THINKING IMAGINABLE. IT IMMEDIATELY CREATES THE NOTION OF AN ENTIRE FILM'S JOURNEY BEING NOTHING MORE THAN FIRST ACT INSTEAD OF ITS OWN COMPLETE THOUGHT THAT JUST SO HAPPENS WILL LEAD INTO ANOTHER COMPLETE THOUGHT. "

^^ This is one reason I'm not as excited about Halo 4 as I was about, say, Halo 2. I KNOW there will be two more games in this series, and that kind of sours my expectations about Halo 4. (If that makes sense)

AND PROMETHEUS Halo 2 ABSOLUTELY DOES NOT FEEL LIKE A COMPLETE THOUGHT. AND TO THE AUDIENCE THAT'S JUST DEATH. TO STUPIDLY BUILD FOR SEQUELS WITHOUT REALIZING THE ONE THING THAT MAKES PEOPLE EXCITED FOR A SEQUEL IS NOT LINGERING QUESTIONS, BUT FEELING LIKE THEY ALREADY GOT A COMPLETE EXPERIENCE AND NOW WANTING TO EXPAND UPON THAT EXPERIENCE. LINGERING QUESTIONS DON'T HOLD YOU OVER FOR THE THREE YEARS IT TAKES TO MAKE A MOVIE. "game
