The Kwanzaa Bot is here to protect me.


I have to agree with a lot of the people here and say that the plot was extremely rushed and mishmashed, but I think that was due to them trying to condense elements of all four books into a two-hour movie, which was a huge mistake. They could've easily just planned it out for a couple of movies like LOTR was (a series I assume wasn't that much more popular than HHGTG outside of nerd circles) and fleshed out the storyline / humorous bits a bit more, but it seemed that they weren't planning on it being popular enough to warrant another movie (despite the advertising barrage) and decided to stuff as much key plot from all four books into one movie to give it appeal to those who Don't Much Read Them Books.

Also, the entire Arthur / Trillian romance subplot was abysmal, as many others have said, and I prefer to try forgetting the whole thing with the POV gun.

I give it 4/5.
