    Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

    I was a big fan of the books, and the movie is looking much, much better than I had hoped. It looks like they may have taken a few "creative liberties" with the story line, but overall, it looks like the best movie version anyone could have hoped for.

    Mead....Most books gone movie didn't turn out that well....Only a handful like LOTR and HP. I'm hoping for a good one though.

      Bad news, bears.


      The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie is bad. Really bad. You just won't believe how vastly, staggeringly, jaw-droppingly bad it is. I mean, you might think that The Phantom Menace was a hopelessly misguided attempt to reinvent a much-loved franchise by people who, though well-intentioned, completely failed to understand what made the original popular - but that's just peanuts to the Hitchhiker's movie.

        RE: Hitchiker

        I really think that people overestimate how bad movies made from books are.
        The only movie I've seen that was made from a book that I didn't like was A Series of Unfortunate Events.

        That movie sucked. It was a horrible idea to fit 3 books into a movie.
        Basically, it was like.
        We're rich.
        We're orphans.
        We're mistreated by Count Olaf
        We escaped.
        We're mistreated by Count Olaf.
        We escaped.
        We're mistreated by Count Olaf.
        We escape.

            I read the whole review, it doesn't sound like an exaggeration. What a shitty thing to do to a good book.

              Ehh... from the trailers I figured it would be bad. However, it still looks like it'll be somewhat enjoyable to watch.

                Wait...did they try squeezing the entire series into one film?

                Also, wasnt the screen play finished by Douglas Adams before he died?

                Also, IMDb.com seems to give it a good review.

                              That is really a shame. The previews looked like they did a pretty good job. I'm going to see it, sucking or not, this coming sunday.
