Pretty fun

I played a fair few Halo games in my gaming days (mostly Combat Evolved, Halo 3, ODST, and then Halo: Reach), but I have to be honest: I never really got into the story or background all that much for any of them. Maybe I should've, because the first two parts of Halo Legends proved very interesting, and made me appreciate the universe and backstory of this series a great deal more.After that, the remaining five shorts are a bit of a mixed bag, as is to be expected from an anthology film, but I generally found more good here than bad. The most memorable of the bunch, beyond Origins, is probably the wacky very anime-esque episode following Spartan 1337. That one was actually pretty funny, though I can imagine it annoying series diehards, because it kind of makes fun of the Halo series in general.Halo Legends fluctuated between the most and least seriously I've ever taken a piece of Halo media, and for that, I have to hold a weird amount of respect for it.

A MUST FOR ANY HALO FAN

If you've only played the video games, this series of shorts is a great place to start learning more about the Halo lore in a comfortable way.The animation variation in each of the shorts is enough of an excuse to watch them calmly.On the other hand, if what you are looking for is a story that has a direct impact on the narrative of the games, you will not find it here. They are isolated stories that, although they complement the lore, do not alter it in any way and may even fall short if you have read the novels of the HALO saga.
