This hopefully will be very good. They (Microsoft) recognize this a premier property worth litterally billions. They can't afford to screw it up. The one concern i have is making it appeal to other audiences, i wonder if there will be enough meat there for hardcore fans. Ultimately it will be good tool for them to gauge receptiveness towards a movie and the potential investment (sure to be over 100million to be done right). As for the movies i truely hope that they look to the books for the story. There is a lot of depth there.
