I saw it on Thursday, after a mate of mine managed to grab tickits for an advanced screening. I´m pretty sure I enjoyed it. There are several jokes in there that you´ll only get from reading the books, and also several homages to Douglas Adams, including a planet shaped like his head, during the tour of the planet factory. Alan Rickman managed to make me laugh with almost every line. Martin Freeman did quite well. John Malcovich´s character seemed a little random, but still amusing. Mos Def did fairly good as well, considering my initial bewilderment to him being chosen for Ford. So, yeah, I thought it was pretty good. I´ve talked to other people about it, some saying that they hated Alan Rickman, hated Mos Def, and despised the director for destroying their film. Clearly, these people are wrong. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> <A href=´http://www.thenotebook.zoomshare.com´ Target=_Blank>my shoddy little website</a> It´s got, like, stuff and things on it.

dont forget douglas adam´s head that the ship turns into at the end of the film when they engage the improbability drive

So...overall, how does it compare to the book?
-
I´ve never read the book, but I´ve got the 80s TV Series on DVD, and it seems quite faithful <img src=´http://www.virginstudent.com/f…409/126/ShroudTopGun3.jpg ´>

I hated it. imo the definitive version remains the BBC radio series (on which the TV series was based)
-
Marvin was quite bad. The voice (Alan Rickman) was spot on though <img src=´http://www.virginstudent.com/f…409/126/ShroudTopGun3.jpg ´>
