Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy...

i have not read the book unfortunately. i was always under the impression that it was some cheesy college self help book from the 70's for some reason. i never had any idea it was a novel about intergalactic management and human satire.

but...

since i haven't seen the movie, i'd like to say for those that also haven't that you will probably like it. it may never measure up to the book - as almost every movie doesn't - but that doesn't change the fact that its incredibly entertaining and satisfying. i predict that for those that haven't seen the movie, this one is going to become an instant favorite.

furthermore, it proves that british humor is the greatest of all (don't argue with me).

the visuals are aweome, mos def cements his presence and the humor does not stop...ever.

best part of the movie is when that guy missed the bus. look closely.

i thought it was good, i havn't read the book. so i guess like the dude said, if you have read the book you won't like it, but if you hanv't then you most likely will.\

the robot was emo, then he mae the vogans emo with that gun. i think it iwould be a good movie if you were shorromming.

 
In this case, though, "Not living up to the books" is a completely different animal than in most cases. Read them, and understand.

 
so has anyone whos read the books seen the movie

it was pretty original and funny, colorful and humorous, but maybe slightly long and exagerated at times. That's what I thought of the little parts that I caught, when I wasnt asleep(goddam brand new comfy theaters), and I haven't read the book.

^depends on whether you think its fair to judge a movie by the book...because i'm not sure that i do, although this is a cult book so...

Just saw it tonight...for pure entertainment value I give it 3 out of 5...though for someone who has never read the books it could be really confusing since there soo much random shit that really wouldnt make sence without any background.

As someone who has read the books twice and rank them up among my favourite reads ever I thought it SUCKED LARGE ASS. You couldnt compress the story any more with a 1000000 PSI piston...which also happens to have millions of holes in the cylinder for all the good stuff to leak out. It doesnt in the least give the real story justice with its humour or underlying principles. And other then Arthur and maybe Marvin none of the actors even came close to portraying their characters (even though I know thats just my interpretation of them)

So yeah...puer entertainment after a joint or 2 3 out of 5....my actual score 1.5 out of 5 (and just because they did the planet builders thing well)
