There is one exception, the Lord of The Rings trilogy. Yes it wasn't exactly like the book but it was pretty darn close and a good movie to boot.

I was going to mention this, but it is an exception to the movies-from-books-suck law. :thumbsup: I watch very few movies, and no t.v., and these are good movies.

I loved it. I thought it was amazing for a Disney PG movie. But then, I loved HG2G (and honestly think that all real fans of Douglas Adams should like the movie)

You need to shut up. Einstein is getting very angry.

My only worry is if the film isn't any better than the BBC tv series they did a while ago - (which I still remember) - not that it matters, since I won't be watching it until it appears on DVD anyway... (Very rarely watch anything at the cinema these days).

You're an idiot.
Hitchhikers was not a book to movie transition.
Hitchhikers was a movie derived from a book, same as the book was derived from the radio show.

The directors butchered the plot (of what a plot there is in the Hitchiker's Guide) and made it a little kid's movie. The characters, storyline, and humor were completely ripped away. I love the book, I've read it several times, and the book's main feature is the kind of humor it includes. The movie doesn't have any of that in it. I would tell you to watch the movie yourself to see how much it sucked, but it just isn't worth it.

"Fans will blanch at nearly everything ? from the joke-killing theme song to a plot sellout that's too demoralizing to even discuss."

Fine to take your kids to, but nothing else.

You suck at reviewing movies.

I just watched the movie with my gf. I can't agree with your first post more.
Crap acting, craptacular story, stupid ideas like logic never works.
Boring as sh!t.

Well I guess I will be the only person who enjoyed the movie in this thread. The movie stuck incredibly close to the story line and i greatly enjoyed seeing the variety of mythological creatures. If you hate how the Queens are crying all the time blame CS Lewis, not the actors or the movie. I would like to see all of you haters live through The Blitz in London at such a young age....

I enjoyed the movie overall, although it had some incredibly corny shots (here and there).

Child Actors.

The girls are in it for nothing but their crying ability. The guys aren't much better. Godfvcking dammit what the hell I was frickin' pissed off in the theatre!

I wanted so bad at times to just fvcking get up, throw my knife into the screen, and yell "GROW A FVCKING PAIR OF BALLS YOU FVCKING PUSSIES!!!!!!!!! GOD FVCKING DAMMIT!!!!!!! CAN YOU ASSHOLES DO SOMETHING ELSE BESIDES CRYING?!?!"

Not to mention the character of Phillip pissed me off to no end. Jesus what a fvcking asswipe. If I were his brother I would have executed him on the spot as soon as he was returned. Serves you right you fvckstick for selling us out for a bunch of sweets, you piece of sh!t.

And the oldest brother? Taking out minotaurs in the battle? Please. I'd take joy in decapitating him with a butter knife.

Then there's the scene where they're on the ice and the wolf has the beaver hostage and the brother's acting like a fvcking pvssy with his sword and too afraid to be a badass and strike at the wolf. And the sister telling him to just put down the sword. Hell, I'd be like, "Yo BITCH STFU coward!!!" and roundhouse kick her into the freezing water.

And they had to pick the most annoying, whiny looking girl ever to play the little sister. All she ever did was cry cry cry.

"OMG *cries*"
"SHUT THE FVCK UP!!!" *takes her head and cherrybombs it into a wall* GROW A FVCKING PAIR!!!

And was there some pedophile sh!t going on between the fawn and her? She's like 10!!! NASTY!!!

I read and enjoyed the books back in the day, but I didn't remember the characters all being such pussies....

awww dude cheers for the laugh.....that part was hilarious!!! :beer:

 

[otispunkmeyer]

my friends version of narnia is better....... it was just him, his best friend, a couple of spliffs, some beer and they acted out narnia in the woods near their home. just the two of them! its awesome to watch (under the influence of course)

Sounds like you should have been in the cast.

hilarious comeback, you should have been the director of the movie, even! ROFL

oh yes, I want to add, that it would have been an EXTREMLY lovely horror flick if you cut out the entire movie from when the girl encounters the wardrobe from going into it. and instead, the wardrobe is a gateway to hell where the little girl visits demons and is instructed to torture her brothers and sister. oh damn.... how the movie would sell

Why did you have a knife at a kids movie... were you expecting a rowdy bunch of kids steal your lunch money?

 

[imported_Condor]

I went to see it last night without an agenda and thought it was pretty good. Great senics. Typical fantasy movie plot to make money, but OK.
