I just got back from the movie. Not great, but not so horrible I wanted the $1.50 I paid for the ticket back.

I thought from the rotten tomato reviews that it'd be halfway decent.

Let's just put it this way: If you like constant whining and uncertainty from main characters and have a fetish for little girls crying, you'd probably enjoy the movie.

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....

Seriously, that was a damn good movie. I had two VERY minor issues with it, both relating to book/story incongruities. Well-acted, cinematography was beautiful. All in all, top-notch movie.

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 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)

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....

Have you read the book? I ask because it sounds like the movie's characters are close to those in the book.

honestly, that is my favourite movie ever.. i was as hyped for this as anyone and it totally exceeded my expectations, even beyond LOTR (yes! and this is coming from someone whose read the LOTR trilogy over a dozen times)

the special effects BLEW me away.. absolutely stunning.. the creatures/battles were amazing IMO.. the magical effects (witchs & aslans powers) were incredible and beautifully done.. the sets and backdrops were mind-bogglingly gorgeous..

i thought Lucy was wonderful, in fact i thought all four children actors acted very well.. Edmund and Peter both suited the part well.. the only slight dissapointment was Susan and it's only because in my mind she had brown eyes.. Tilda Swindon was PERFECT. I also liked Liam Neeson as Aslan..

i found this novel to have definite emotional and moral themes, which i thought the movie did quite well at portraying..

also had no problem slipping into "willing suspension of disbelief" which is crucial for me to see a movie since i find it harder than doing the same while reading..

10/10 - i can't wait for this on dvd, gonna end up screwing myself getting it and then the SE.. :)

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.
Although the various versions follow the same basic plot, they are in many places mutually contradictory, as Adams rewrote the story substantially for each new adaptation.

He also wrote most of the film screenplay IIRC.

Haven't seen the film yet, but I don't doubt it will differ from the book, because IMO it's supposed to.
