I don't think Micheal Bay directing Halo: The Movie would be a bad idea. As was stated in the Revenge of the Fallen review, Bay seems to have an Army fetish and Halo is primarily about Space Marines VS Fanatical Alien Space Marines...and head-crabs who aren't head-crabs...

Didn't expect much from this movie. I resolved not to see it the day I found Bay was directing. Really a shame that Jackie Earle Haley didn't get more to work with. He's been great in his past few movies. Thank you MovieBob on confirming my thoughts on this movie.

Dammit BOB! Don't go dumping Producers/Directors you don't like onto things that I like.

Is there some clause in the Escapist contracts that require you critics to take potshots at Halo?

Michael Bay doing a Halo movie... much better idea than Peter Jackson doing a Halo movie...

Anyway, I didn't want to go see this anyway. I wasn't a big fan of Nightmare on Elm St. but I caught wind a few years ago that Billy Bob Thorton was going to be playing Freddie and I've just avoided this like the plague. I also saw a couple of movies from Platinum Dune, like the Hitcher and I was thoroughly disappointed... so yeah... thanks for taking the heat, Bob.

Sadly, I think most people saw this coming. Horror remakes have a poor history at best but I'm surprised the deaths are so generic. Since the deaths all happen in dreams there really is no limit as to how the kids are slaughtered. Stabbed in the gut? That is just lazy as all hell.

A halo film would be a bad idea. But I was interested in this film series getting a reboot so may see it because of that.

Michael Bay doing a Halo movie? Fuck you MovieBob. Now hes going to do it because it'll make loads of money and Halo will be ruined forever. Thanks a fucking lot.

No, don't recommend Bay doing a Halo movie!

Just the very thought of that is making my brain bleed. Not to mention all the fans will go bat-shit crazy.

ACtually... yeah! Michael Bay directing a Halo movie would work. A bad director plus a bad video game franchise migh butt fuck the cosmos enough to make something halfway decent.

Yeah, saw this movie, but didn't have to pay for it! Theater jobs FTW! Freddy is the only good thing about it.

I saw three out of four of those remakes (not Amityville Horror), and out of all of them, The Hitcher was most horrible movie. I hated it! That and the sequel on SyFy.

WHAT! Molesting children? Why!? Like Friday the 13th remake, I'll wait until this comes on television.

I could see him doing it too...all his money, and special effects...Prolly look pretty but be as shallow as the story itself from the games lol
