Covenant's version
(Plot) Okay, once of my main concerns for the Halo movie is how far into the Covenant side of things they're going to go. I mean sure, a few subtitled lines about how much they hate humans is fine. What I'm talking about is a long, drawn out macho bad-guy conversations.
In the first game the Covenants mysteriousness was what made them an interesting enemy and I imagine that translating that into the movie. If they try to do a split-storyline like they did with H2 the movie will go right down the drain. A Covenant arch nemisis (like Zuka Za-whatever in the H:TF book) would be a big mistake in my opinion, because it would be too hard to pull off without making it cheesy.
Also, I'm wondering how they are going to handle translations. Are they going to have the Chief just be able to hear what the Grunts say like in H1 or is he going to be able to understand all the Covenant? Personally I think the Grunt-only thing would be best, it would preserve the Covenants mystique while allowing for some great comic relief. However to do this there'll have to be a segment explaining why that is.
