Well, 2 of them had some knowledge on the subject they were talking about and chose to write like they're actually being paid to do it professionally and that they care about their jobs. So, that's something.

I'm interested in what CGI seems so bad, and while it's not such a surprise that character development is difficult to pull off in 30 minutes, it might be of some concern. Sadly, the reviewers here seem like some disinterested teenagers that don't know anything about what's going on(It may be possible that they're unaware they're supposed to be journalists), and the couple that did only were allowed to write very brief, not detailed overlooks of the first episode.

To be fair, pretty much every reviewer opened up with "I've never heard of Halo before."  Nonetheless, I doubt it'll be anything special.
