Halo Ratings & Reviews
- RonnieFebruary 15, 2025I loved this show! I hate that CBS cancelled it!
- CallumOctober 27, 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐½ (out of 5) Halo – Humanity unmasked, war redefined, and legend reborn. “Halo” brings the iconic Xbox universe to life in cinematic form — and while it doesn’t follow the games exactly, it carves out its own path with confidence. Rather than simply recreating missions, it dives deeper into what the games only hinted at: the humanity beneath the armour. For some, seeing the Spartans — especially Master Chief — without their helmets broke the mystique. For others (myself included), it made the story stronger. These aren’t faceless soldiers anymore; they’re people caught in an impossible war, showing that even the galaxy’s deadliest weapons still have hearts. The world-building is exceptional: sprawling alien vistas, gritty battlefields, and a lived-in future that feels just close enough to our own. And yes, this is where Cortana is born — the AI companion that’s already found her way onto our PCs. It’s impossible not to wonder how long before she becomes our real-world holographic helper. Halo captures the perfect balance of grime and glory — dirty enough to feel real, polished enough to make you dream "where are my space ships?". It’s a grounded yet awe-inspiring vision of science fiction, and if this is the future of video game adaptations, then bring on the next mission.
- TubzJuly 2, 2025Whoever shelved this series should be sacked, everything was going well with character and story build ups and then corporate muppets wake up put costs over quality.
- James KearneyJune 19, 2025It's not as bad as people say.
- Rod FaulknerSeptember 9, 2025Halo the television series received a lot of unfair, downright silly criticism from fans of the eponymous video game series upon which it is based. The series manages to capture the aesthetic and visuals that make the video game franchise one of the most popular in the world. Actor Pablo Schreiber is perfectly cast as the iconic, armor-clad protagonist Master Chief, John 117. Schreiber has the imposing physicality, and most importantly, acting chops to bring Master Chief (MC) to life. The show was meant to humanize the Master Chief and make the far-future world of Halo accessible to a wide audience. Critics wanted the show to be a live-action remake of the video game franchise's cutscenes. Scenes in which MC is taciturn and NEVER removes his helmet. That works for a video game where players assume the identity of MC as is required for a successful first-person shooter, but would've been silly for a serialized TV drama meant to have viewers connect to and sympathize with the character. A major problem is the show should've found a home on a much larger streamer other than Paramount Plus, such as Netflix. Ironically, its reruns became available on Netflix and were a global hit. It's a damn shame the show only received 2 seasons. It deserved better. So did we, we viewers.
- jwalkinFebruary 24, 2025For some reason the studio thought audiences would prefer Master Chief with his helmet off as an emotional man, because that's "relatable".
- mhallenbeckJune 13, 2025Literally the worst adaption of anything to a show. If you like Halo, do NOT watch this, it has NOTHING to do with the actual game or lore.
