richardjp-17225 I came out of the movie theatre feeling unsatisfied with this movie. Being a big fan of the book and the TV series, I had certain expectations. Some of these expectations were met, some weren't. The characters were mainly very good - Arthur Dent, Trillion, Slartibartfast, Zaphod Beeblebrox. In fact Beeblebrox was very cool, but unfortunately they ruined is character later in the movie when something happened to him and he ended up in a drunken state for most of the movie after. Ford Prefect was not as likeable and Marvin the Paranoid Andriod was not good at all. I just didn't like the character like I did in the book and TV series.The movie did have some good moments - like a Magrathean painting Ayers Rock red. Most of the trade mark jokes were there too, but there were also new scenes not from the book, which I had my doubts about - like a visit to the Vogon home planet to rescue Trillion from the Vogons. The movie felt very rushed at times, which is probably understandable as they had to condense a lot of material into an hour and a half. So scenes that progressed at a leisurely pace in the TV series whizzed through very quickly, which unfortunately took away a lot of the humour from them.The orginal actor who plays Arthur Dent makes a cameo and so does the original robot for Marvin (All though his is a non-speaking cameo).

morrismatalon This is one of the most bland and boring movies i've seen in a while. Every single scene feels like it goes on for an hour. It's attempts at humor is terrible. The sad part, is that there is a lot of water talent here. Martin Freeman, Sam Rockwell, John Malkovich, Bill Nighy, Jason Schwartzman, Alan Rickman. These are all very talented actors, and it is all wasted with this awful director. It can be creative or funny sometimes, but it's mostly crap. You may be asking, "Why would you watch that?". Good question. I still don't know. I was bored, and I didn't know watch. I was surfing around HBO and i saw this. So like a moron I thought to myself "This can't be that bad". But I was wrong. Don't watch this. It doesn't deserve the price of admission or even for free on HBO. It sucks. I give it a 3/10

Tennessee Watching the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy was about the same as watching Spaceballs from the space adventures to the knife as a light saber and to Marvin. But, with Spaceballs, it was more of a parody of the Star Wars saga. Now by venturing back to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the galaxy what I found interesting was the commentator who spoke throughout the film; explaining the universe and what our fellow characters were up to and saying a few goofy things here and there. The movie itself was a bit weird and made me cock my head right and left throughout the movie. I did, however; like the story-line of the film and the way everything turned out such as the costumes, stage sets, and etc. The music I found was really fun to tag along with and as weird as the film I just had to finish it and I might even consider watching it here and there. But, the price I paid for it brand new was worth it.

Antonis Koumpias Aesthetically very beautiful; also the comic bits were well performed. However, it did not fail to be abundant of philosophical clichés, shallow humanitarian messages and stereotypical characters. And yes(!), one more film with Zooey Deschanel playing the indie 'oh lets quit our jobs do whatever our guts tell us'girl who ends up with the stereotypical sensitive, nervous, awkward guy.
