Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy - brief opinion

May 03, 2005 19:41

I went to see Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy yesterday. Although it had its moments, it was a bit disappointing - which of course is related as much to my expectations as to the movie itself. But I don't think a lot of the wit transferred across to screen too well, perhaps because a lot of stuff was (probably necessarily) cut out. And I didn't ( Read more... )

Your ability to hug that book is rather disturbing. *grin*

Although, now you've got that bloody dolphin song in my head. NASTY! ;)

But I loved Marvin! Alan Rickman has the perfect voice for him surely? ;) Love reading your posts em, I must endeavour to keep up with them!

Hi Karen! Yeah, Alan Rickman was perfect for the role - actually I think most of the actors/voices were great, just the script was lacking.

Glad you're enjoying the blog :)

Marvin was the only reason i didnt walk out of the movie, well that and the fact i thought dirtycamel was very interested.Turns out he didnt like it either.Next star wars movie should be very funny!

I would have been very surprised had dirtycamel enjoyed it.

Are you expecting the next Star Wars to be as dodgy as the last two? I can't tell - I think they do great trailers which can be deceiving.At least there shouldn't be any opportunities for dodgy disney-type characters in this one!

not sure what to make of that comment.

Sorry about that :) In the past, on average, talisen has been inclined to like movies more than me and you have been inclined to dislike them more!

Not as good as the book, but still very watchable (having seen it twice).

The reviews for Star Wars 3 are surprisingly glowing.

Yeah, I've noticed the good reviews and am raising my hopes based on the apparently more serious nature of this episode (although the original three balanced humour and epic stuff so I'm not why I want this one to be more serious).
