HHGTTG Movie Reviews
 

Planet Magarethea review of the HHGTTG movie.

Quote:

"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. Listen..."

I was hoping that the title meant someone from the forums had actually seen it.

Also, note that the quote below is a spoof of a HHGG quote.

The review is by a biased, anti-movier reviewer who later shut down his site because people at the IMBD forums (average IQ = less than a non TDM AI's) badmouthed him.

Take it with a large grain of salt; most of his complaints are about how it isn't exactly like the book, but a lot of the changes were made BY Adams and NO version of HHGTG has ever been the same as a previous one.

Well, the movie goes into general release on Friday. We'll find out soon enough how good or bad it really is.

Given the Hollywood track record on sci-fi though, the review sounded plausible...

I recall reading that his guy has an issue with book to movie movies and actually thought Alien 3 and 4 were much better than 1 and 2. Nuff said.

If you go, bring your towel & cover your head. If you can't see it, it can't see you.

Well, if it sucks, pitch your popcorn and drink at the screen. That always makes the movie much more entertaining.
If it sucks *really* bad, go get a refill, and I think you know the rest.

Re: HHGTTG Movie Review (And it ain\'t good...)
 

Well, I really enjoyed the books so I'll give the film a chance and go see it, regardless of what the reviewers say.

I saw the old HHGTTG TV series, and that wasn't that good; only the first episode where the Earth gets blown up was good and the series rapidly went downhill from there. Hopefully the movie will be better than the TV series.

Re: HHGTTG Movie Review (And it ain\'t good...)
 

Oh no, the TV series was brilliant.

I have a 12 hour flight coming up this weekend, and I'm hoping HHGTTG will be shown in-flight. Last time I flew long-haul, I saw Pirates of the Caribbean (great), League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (****e), Terminator 3 (****e), that adult/teen body-swap one with Jamie lee Curtis (meh), Charlies Angels [some sequel or other] (****e), a couple of bollywood flicks (foreign language- couldn't understand them) and about 6 more less memorable films on the way home. I can't sleep on planes.
