The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Movie Download

3 / 10

Possibly the worst film adaptation of a book ever.
What an absolutely appalling film.

Frankly this film makes me angry. Not the “angry because the filmmakers insulted the intelligence of the audience” angry, like with “Armageddon”, but angry because they took a book that is a very clever and funny satire on the foolishness of humanity, and boiled it down into … well, a very bland, unfunny film that has no point whatsoever.

This film is like overcooked vegetables. Vegetables are full of yummy goodness, vitamins and minerals, fiber, everything essential to existence. Yet if you boil them long enough they lose their taste, their texture, and all their nutritional value. Evaporated into a cloud of steam and a pot of murky water.

Such is this film: a destruction of Douglas Adams’ hilarious account of a Brit pushed into the vastness of space where you can’t get a decent spot of tea. The filmmakers have completely missed the point, and created a tragedy, therefore losing the opportunity to spread the genius of Adams’ works to a movie-going audience.

A horrible film. 3 out of 10.
