I absolutely hate this show and what it's become. This online show started off pretty humorous, and now has become a poorly assembled pile of nonsense filled with toilet-humor and very, very bad puns. The show started off being a satirical comedy about two teams trying to win over a war-torn canyon, but as the show progresses in a few years, it soon slid off this storyline, which was pretty much the entire point of the show. I can't even follow any of the characters anymore and don't understand the jokes. There are very few that actually make me laugh. RoosterTeeth isn't even trying to make this show decent anymore. I feel that they let this popularity get to their heads, listened to their fan base a little too closely, and decided to follow a new, more "elabrate" storyline to please their online audience. And somehow, this show makes money off of this. Not that it doesn't seem likely because it's so dumb, its just that they legally can'r since Halo is owned by Bungie. I guess they were lucky enough to strike a deal with them and go ape-s*** over the anticipation. Another thing that really annoys me about this show (if you can even call it that since it made it's way to IMDb) is the titling. Seriously, the "Blood Gulch Chronicles" and "Revelation"? If you want to add these distinguished titles to your show, then your show needs to have some content to match it. The only thing that has gotten better since the originals is the animation. The motion-capture animation in general is why this has 2 stars, but it simply deprives it from it original plot. Red vs. Blue (or what's left of it) is now complete nonsense and I quickly grew tired of it. RoosterTeeth uses this show as their flagstaff to try to dominate all other online shows, thinking that the vast fan base and popularity will get them money and fame, but they didn't use their heads and now this show weak and forgettable. Red vs. Blue is a disaster.
Master Chief
This show is not that funny and the characters don't even fight. Its pretty boring and I don't get its kind of humor. Well, okay its sometimes funny, but not that much. Now they use Halo 2. I wish they kept on using Halo 1! The Master Chief looks much cooler in Halo 1. I don't get why this show is rated R either. None of the episodes Iv'e seen have violence, just a bit of language like the f-word and d---. It should be PG or PG-13 for language. It shouldn't even be a movie because all the episodes are just five minutes. I know, you are probably finding this review boring and want to stop reading it. But anyway, if you would like some good mini-movies about Halo, I'd recommend www.xboxottawa.ca. I know, some of the films in there are also pretty stupid, but there is a really good one that I downloaded: FTC 14.

I just got Season One today on DVD, not knowing or having ever watched episodes before, and mostly just going off what my friends have told me, and wow! What a surprise to behold! I was laughing out loud a LOT! The first bit in the whole first 19 episodes just hooks you in and keeps the laughs coming.When I first heard of it, I didn't think it would be that great of an idea, because of the whole idea. Characters recorded from a video game and dialogue looped over to make them look like they're talking? Sounds kinda dumb.Not so! If you have doubts, ignore them! Buy season one, and you will enjoy it the whole way through! 9/10!

Creators Burnie Burns and Matt Hullum have concocted a bizarre production, in more ways than one. Using the medium of the critically acclaimed video game "Halo", Burns and Hullum have devised some dozen characters to be played by generic character-figures of the game and voiced by themselves and assorted associates. What you wouldn't expect is for these characters to be so delightfully unique and for the result to be so thoroughly enjoyable.The plot these hoodlum boys from the States have thought up is that on a faraway alien planet, in a contained valley known as Blood Gulch, two teams are positioned and at war with one another: The Red team, made up of Sarge (Matt Hullum), Grif (Geof Fink), Simmons (Gustavo Sorola) and Donut (Dan Godwin) and the Blue team, made up of Church (Burnie Burns), Tucker (Jason Suldana), Caboose (Joel Heyman) and Tex (Kathleen Zuelch).What's funny about this scenario is that the "war" in question has literally no point, the "soldiers" fighting it all have deep character flaws of one kind or another and certainly no interest in actually defeating the other team (save for the aggressive military stereotype Sarge), and most of the time is spent simply on conversation. In this regard, the writers are fantastic: their dialogue is a prime example of observational wit, as well as a keen sense of when stupidity for the sake of stupidity will work and to what extent.The humor of "Red vs. Blue" is an acquired taste of sorts, choosing mainly to poke fun at the military lifestyle; using the mediums of cynical and sarcastic Church, to gruff and authoritarian Sarge, to simple and naive Caboose. Reminiscent of such adult-themed cartoons as "South Park" and "The Simpsons", "Red vs. Blue" is remarkably succinct in establishing memorable and unique characters to the point that we, the audience, know what to expect from each of them, yet still find it funny when we get exactly that. If you're looking for a laugh, then maybe you've been looking in the wrong places. Try Red Vs Blue on for size.
