this is a good movie overall but is lacking the necessary fast paced action that halo fans have learned to love and deserve. you can checkout www.streamhalo.com to checkout the latest and best live gaming streams of all the halo titles!!so you can watch a slow story based movie or you can jump in and watch some of the fastest paced and best players in the halo universe.

I think halo: Legends it's a great compilation of stories that help the viewer understand the halo universe. The only problem i see is that it is made for a really small portion of halo fans. Tou have to be a good fan in order to watch this, but not too much, because if you haver read the books and all the stuff you might find it dull. It is made for people like me, passionate halo players, but not passionate enough to read book about halo universe. If you are like me i think you will enjoy it.We can separate the stories in 2 different types: expalnation of halo universe and punctual facts. I found the chapters that refere to the history of halo very informative, and makes you understand lot of what is happening. The other ones were OK, but they didn't say anithing new, spartan II Program was rough for the candidates, spartans are not sociable, ODST and Spartans don't get alone.... Then what i though was a chapter of Dragon Ball, it was like seeing goku and his band fighting the first Sayans, i though that was bullshit, but then i analised what i saw in that chapter and realised it could be the one with the more important information: i saw a UNSC ship with a female IA that still on the ship and descendant of survivors that have a strenght similar to the one of a Spartan. Could that ship be the Spirit of Fire? A ship we don't know of, which carried Sparans II, and that UNSC looks as hidding something about it. Could these people be the descendants of the Spartans? That maybe would explain why they did fight like freaking goku. Or maybe it is just a parode... i hope we will now with the release of halo wars II.

Content: Most of the Halo Legends movies give a very poor representation of the Halo universe.(based on the books& games) Of the 7, origins one and two are the strongest, giving a good background story. The package has nothing to do with halo, but is an excuse to show off nice graphics. Odd one out is ridiculous. The Babysitter is third closest to the story. Spartans do not talk during missions, and do not try to be cool. The story represents this well, although it is unlikely the spartan female is so feminine looking. Prototype is nice story wise, but unrelated to halo. The dual storyline may or may not be close, but I found it the least interesting to watch. Graphics: The package is the strongest in this respect. Origins 1 + 2, the babysitter, prototype and the package have similar graphics which are in line with Japanese anime. They look average. Odd one out and the dual are the least strong in this respect. Music: Origins one and two stand out as true halo music. The rest are generally good but not exceptional. Overall: Overall disappointing. I would have liked to see stories which represent the Spartans as they truly were. Highly professional soldiers who put the mission before everything else, who do not say cool stuff, but have above all an inner strength which allows them to win. They do not look like heroes(being in that armor after brutal modifications), except for their physique. The anime is reasonable, but nothing exceptional.

I'm not big fan of Halo series, but i played first two games, so i decided to watch these movies... They differs from each other pretty much, so i'll try to rank each movie: 1) The Babysitter - 8/10 Pretty good story, not too much action, but in this kind of story it is not needed. It's psychological drama, i like that kind of stuff, there is nothing unnecessary, animation is on high level as well. 2)Homecoming - 7/10 Pretty nice picture, some action, some drama in flashbacks, all is nice. But still i didn't feel too sorry for the main character, probably, because movie is too short, they didn't have enough time for revealing whole drama. 3)Prototype - 7/10 The same as previous. Nice action/ drama... But too short. 4)The Duel - 6/10 Picture is weird, but not bad, there is some drama and action, but elites in this Japanese-like environment is little stupid 5)Origins - 6/10 Well it's just movie about background of Halo setting. Not bad, probably fans of the game would like it, but as i already sad, i'm not big fan. 6)Odd One Out - 3/10 It's parody, but it's not funny, and animation suck. 7)The Package - 1/10 Probably one of the worst animation movie i ever saw. All is terrible in this one. Horrific animation (it's not so bad when characters don't do anything... but when they start to move it's just terrible), lame story, stupid dialogs... All is bad. The only thing that could possible pleased someone is easter eggs.
