2nd...... and not exactly. I have a feeling this is gonna have a huge LOTR feel and look to it that will confuse most movie goers, especially those who r unfamiliar with the game.

Sam Raimi is one of the best, we're gonna have to see where this goes. Why won't they get a Halo movie off the ground? Why WOW?
