Reviews
Chatverock Takes itself way too seriously
GetPapa Far from Perfect, Far from Terrible
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Ginger Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
invisibleunicornninja I'm surprised that this movie has so many bad reviews. This movie is pretty loyal to the book. Its extremely entertaining with well-acted characters and well-timed jokes. The cinematography, effects, and costumes are all fantastic. I don't see anything wrong with this movie, and am confused as to why other reviews are calling them boring.
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
Mr-Fusion It's been a few years since I've read the book, but it's one I hold dear. The good news here is that the movie version feels right; it's the all-important blend of Monty Python and science fiction. It's Martin Freeman dropped into one absurd situation after the next (starting with the complete destruction of his home planet), the eccentric characters that ultimately form the group, and Douglas Adams' wry sense of humor sprinkled throughout. And I don't think there's any weak link among this cast (Sam Rockwell steals the movie with his bizarre blend of Elvis and Dubya . . . but then Rockwell is a master thief), but each of the other characters feels suitably cast.Evidently, the box office didn't merit a sequel; and I'm not gonna lie, that's a disappointment. I would like to see these actors flesh out the rest of the series.7/10
Asma Alkaabi The hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy was recommended by a friend who's a physics student and I had absolutely no idea what to expect. After watching the film, I searched about it and there turned out to be a TV series and a book linked to the story so obviously I'm not a fan of the past work but I sure did love this movie! It's witty, creative, and adorable. I was amazed by the visuals and the actors perfected the scenes especially Sam Rockwell (Zaphod). The narrator's voice in the background is definitely a clever touch. It is the kind of film where you would question your existence as the closing credits screen rolls. Overall, it's an incredible one and definitely a must-watch!
