Poor Mr Adams must me spinning in his grave

Oh dear, how did they get it so wrong. Hitchhickers guide is one of the funiest and most origanal TV series/book trilogies (in 5 parts no less)/ and radio shows to ever grace this fair world so this should have been an easy film to make, and make well (it's already a TV series!!!!!!!!). Unfortunatly the film makers desided that removing all the wit in the film for poor quality slap stick and bad cameos would some how make a worth while film exsperience and a would appeal to the fans (a bunch so fanatical about mr Adamas work that they put trekies to shame) ...... they failed.
This is the least funny comedy I have seen, save for a few moments of genius where Mr Adamas work was actually used. Avoid this film and buy the TV series, book trilogy (in 5 parts) and origanl radio series instead

I was too young to catch the series of this cult classic so i didn't know what to expect but I was very impressed. I thought this was really funny and I loved the special effects when i first saw this at the movies, so I couldnt wait to get this on blueray and I wasnt disapointed ! the picture quality and sound are great and really enhance the experience of this brilliant movie, This may not be everyones cup of tea but if u like sci-fi and comendy then your in for a treat. since having this film on blueray I have watched it quite a few times, rally good repeat watch value.
