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.

This one started out a little slower than I am accustomed to with movies of this genre. But once Travolta was introduced, all hell broke lose. Then came the ass whoopins, the fuck bombs, the awesome profanity that only Travolta could deliver and is known for especially from his role in Pulp Fiction. [Royale with Cheese]

Seeing Travolta kill someone, is awesome. But seeing him kill someone while cracking jokes and looking cool doing so, priceless. A true blue american prick, Travolta's character overshadows literally everyone in this movie.

What makes this movie all the better in my opinion, is when his partner starts to learn the true ways of a secret or be it special agent. He realizes what the situation entails, after it is revealed to him in a very difficult manner. One simple situation or so he believes, ends up turning upside down and into a fox hole of lies.

Solid action, good acting, slow start though, but I will not let that drag my review all the way to the can. The script was definitely based on Travolta's character, with him shining with his punchlines and quick comments, being in every action scene, and also running wild doing what he feels is justice and right.

7.5 / 10 [An 8 personally, 7.5 due to the slow start.]

What would you do if you found out that for every single choice you made, another planet Earth was created where that decision did not take place? What would you do if you had to face someone so similar to you, but in the same context, so vastly different?

These are the questions answered, and contested by those in this movie. The characters are well done, well developed and their stories are well told. You know everyone, even if you are young, you know DC characters. For being a DC movie I will admit, I expected worse. I did not expect to be able to sit through the whole movie and not want to turn it off.

But to my surprise, I actually enjoyed this. The animation was well done, the action was continuous, the story was well done, and the ending was just. Another well made animated movie and definitely one for the fans of the genre to enjoy. Buy it comic book whores! haha

Im sticking to my gut on this one. After watching the trailers, seeing the actors, checking out the synopsis.. I still did not want to watch this movie. Just seemed too childish. As usual, my thoughts / gut did not let me down as that is exactly how it panned out.

Even though it had high profile actors, even though it had a great amount of CG, I still did not feel the need to sit down and finish watching the movie. [Even though I did for review purposes.] The movie had way too much of a comedy feel to it, something younger kids and preteens would enjoy. Younger teenagers would get a kick out of simple punchline jokes, quick responses even in their darker of situations.

It just did not appeal to me, I love movies that have a basis of mythology to them, but this one took that basis and perverted it into pubescent boy / girls dream. To have powers, to not know how to use them, but then magically learn to save the day because of the company you kept.

5 .5 / 10 [ I was originally inclined to a 5, but the fact that Rosario Dawson played Hades wife, and defied him as if that would ever happen, was too hilarious to pass up. lol ]
