I read all of the books, and played all of the games. As a devoted fan (for more that 4 years), I can't deny, that this series is, some what, exhilarating. I don't agree with some of the choices, regarding the cast, but also, I can't deny the truthfulness of the storyline. Most of my favourite stories were realized, and my imagination was challenged. I give it an 9 only because, of some bad acting, apart from that, I loved It. P.S. Hanry Cavill is great in this (way better than superman)
