Topic: Film SNEAK REVIEW: Hitchkiker's Guide To The Galaxy!
By Wind(up)bird on January 30, 2005 5:33 AM

Moriarity, a writer over at aintitcool.com has posted a review of the Hitchhiker's Guide, a much anticipated flick for fans of author Douglas Adams and his nutty imagination. Beware of Evil Spoilers!


Here's a sample of Moriarity's Review

"First things first... there’s a new rule that I suggest needs to be amended to the Screen Actor’s Guild MBA: you are required to cast Alan Rickman and Sam Rockwell in any science-fiction comedy ever made. Worked for GALAXY QUEST. Worked again here.

Now... how do I begin?

I could give you the requisite preamble about how important the work of Douglas Adams is to me. I could write about how many of my friendships over the years have been at least partially predicated on a shared affection for the most inaccurately named trilogy of all time. Or I could try to chart all the stuttered starts and stops the film’s gone through in development over the years.

But ultimately, what really matters is the film itself. Is it any good? Will it satisfy fans? Will it play for audiences unfamiliar with the books? I can’t answer that last question... Disney’s marketing department is going to have to do that... but I can tell you that I thought the film was a glorious shambling tribute to the work of Adams, a beautifully realized vision filled to the brim with quirky performances and hilarious details. It’s almost shockingly eccentric and manages to stay very faithful to the spirit of all the previous incarnations of the story while also contributing some fascinating new ideas to the overall mythos...."

It would help to have some form of intelligence.

I know what you mean, The Hitchkiker's Guide to the Galaxy books were completely void of any intelligence. Just alot of stupid, mindless ramblings.
