Absolutely fun movie, and it was really nice to see everybody...

A swell time was had by me!

I had a great time, and enjoyed the movie.

Of course, I did have the screaming lady behind me, who at each recognizable scene decided to screech with delight...

Here's what I think:

Spoiler:
Those who didn't like the movie on account of it not holding exactly true to the book need to take the giant stick out of their ass, take an honest evaluation of the book, and ask themselves, "How would I have adapted this wildly funny, totally improbable-to-fully-desribe, beyond descriptive for even the most silly little detail book into a movie that audiences can understand and enjoy?" Having *just* re-read the first book in the "trilogy" the foremost thing I thought while I was reading it was "How in the world can they adapt such a book." And I really think they did a marvelous job of bringing so much to the screen in such a short amount of time.

Not that this spoiled anything.. I just wanted to use spoiler tags... HAHA!

Yes, the overly exuberant fans were annoying (we had one behind us, but he mellowed out after the first few minutes). But it was a lot of fun seeing the movie with a bunch of fans who did applaud and cheer at the right times!

The GusMeister and I enjoyed the movie, but unfortunately I don't think it will do well beyond HHGTTG fans. If you don't "get" the book, you aren't going to "get" the movie.

But I hope I am wrong.

One more thing: kinda bummed that we were unable to heckle either if the LoT line-waiters across the street as neither were there. But quite a set-up they have have!

We saw the movie yesterday (still here in Cleveland; we leave in a few hours) and I mostly liked it. I did find myself re-casting a bit after the movie, as I wasn't all that thrilled with some of the acting choices, but overall it was good.

The LoT line-waiters thought this movie totally sucked. I have no idea whether or not I would "get" the books, but we certainly did not "get" this movie. And it most certainly did not inspire either of us to ever read these books.

Characters were boring or entirely undeveloped. Plot was absent or indecipherable. The entire point seemed to be a thread upon which to hang wry British social observations circa early 80's on.

The first and last 10 minutes were good. Everything in the middle blew.

I dug it. Fun time at the movies. Lots of upbeat silliness. I actually really liked the casting, even though they were very different from what I had imagined. Lots of good moments. But did I love it? Nah. Fun though.
