First and foremost I would like to say that I am not a fan of Halo in general. Never got into the story, never could play the game fully. Now onto the review...

I am an anime fan period. I love its stories, I love its animation, I love the music, I love the entertainment value it presents. Halo Legends tried to capitalize on all of these things by bringing in top anime studios to take a spin at whichever section they were paid to do.

Unfortunately, the first two episodes were 100% boring, with just one voice talking and some sub par animation to accompany it. On the episode "The Duel" the action picked up with a raptor looking guy's wife was killed in order for him to duel another clan leader to gain power. The animation was different, action was definitely there but the animation was that of an early saturday morning cartoon.

The animation started picking up, and the stories started becoming less vocal and more anime like, which is definitely a good thing, especially after the half hour or so of boredom. Problem being is that it was too late for me, even though it started clamoring for attention, I just couldnt give into it. I wanted to love it, as anime is a passion, but I was too bored and succumbed to falling asleep.

All in all, I will say once the animation picked up, it was worth the watch. The action was there, the stories were there as only the Japanese can do so and do so well.

Well what can I say from a movie that was produced by those that brought you the Saw series.. After Saw 2, the movies were declining with shitty scripts, terribad acting, and over glorified death scenes.. This is no different, except that the death scenes were obvious, the story was stupid and left you wondering who, why, what and how the situations ended up panning out.

I definitely did not care about this movie at all, didnt want to watch it either but gave it a watch to review it.. I wouldnt recommend this movie to be watched, but then again fans of the Saw series would state otherwise and lie to themselves by saying this was a mind fuck of a movie and how awesome the kills were. Please. -_-

He always takes one, implies that the guy with the mask always takes one person from his killing spree and kills the ones he doesnt want. 2 + 2 = 4 and this movie definitely was summed up in the trailers.

Watching this movie was torture enough, reviewing it is like pouring salt on an open wound.

Mel Gibson back? Yes he is.. This time with a vengeance and an awesome movie to boot. The movies story grips you right from the beginning, also keeps you entertained with the situations that he ends up going through and ends up digging up as well.

What would you do if your son / daughter was gunned down? With no apparent reason to you, no explanation, no clue...? Obviously you would want justice for the crime, but what justice would you be seeking? Would it be justice such as Kevin Bacon in Death Sentence? Or would it be justice such as Training Day where the bad guy was gunned down by other bad guys with you setting it up?

Many scenarios, many options, which would you choose? Mel Gibson did a hell of a job in this movie, his acting, the script, the directing, the editing all played a vital role in making this movie as good as it was. Honestly I did not expect much, but he delivered on all angles with this role making you feel for him and the situation with a passion unrivaled and not seen in some time.

Definitely give this movie a watch if your a fan of the Crime / Drama genre.
