The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Audience Reviews

Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews
Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.
Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
scheisty69@yahoo.com This movie has wonderful actors, funny moments, and the best intentions for a humorous return on my investment of time spent watching it. Unfortunately, the writing and plot try way too hard, forcebly smashing half-jokes together with what seems like purely random nonsenssical silliness in the hopes of creating a dogmatic "Hitchhiker's" universe. This movie has a cult following who, I'm sure, would disagree. I respect their love of the movie. It's just not for me.
nsexton-35395 There are so many critics on this site who don't know how to judge a movie according to what it can be. So many people who love this series want more. I don't. This movie was great. And it is also interesting to anyone who hasn't read the books. These books simply can't be fully interpreted. This cast is great. The writing is hilarious. And it pays great homage to Douglas Adams and the series
mattkratz This can draw comparison to the BBC series and the book. If you've seen the series and read the book, you know what I'm talking about. Even you haven't (either or neither), you will still enjoy the movie. It was pretty faithful to the book. It had to cram everything into less than two hours, while the series could draw everything out, which was good and bad in both cases. I liked the "new version" of Marvin, and all the performances were at least decent. I think the only thing I preferred in the original series was the "two heads" of Zaphod. Other than that, I liked both versions about the same. I also think they should have added the "mostly harmless" version of Earth. This wasn't too bad. You might like this if you give it a chance.** 1/2 out of ****
Hitchcoc Of course, this is one of the wittiest books ever written. It is done tongue in cheek with the kinds of absurdities that one would expect from a race of aliens that don't understand us. The election of Donald Trump would be enough to give this verisimilitude. This is not unlike Monty Python in that it is hit and miss and one should take one absurdity and move on to the next. Once again, it is being vilified by people who can't stand it when liberties are taken by script writers and movie producers. The thing is that the fundamental plot is still there. Do we really need another exact version thrown at us? I thought the special effects were great as well as the helter skelter movement of the characters. And where else would one find a depressed robot? What a joy that we have Douglas Adams and such creative minds!
