Maybe all the hype made it out to be too good, but I left kind of disappointed. It definitely wasn't a bad film; however, there just didn't seem to be much consistency or even content. For a movie dealing with the universe, they sure make it feel incredibly small and limited. The thing that really made it its worst was the stupid love plot. It just doesn't fit at all and every scene where they try to incorporate it comes off as a complete 180 to the rest of the film.

3.5

Pretty much sums it up for me. Being a major fan of the series, I came out of the theater dissapointed. Lots of quick and funny gags that made the book funny were cut for this Disney abortion.

The 1981 BBC mini series was better.

EDIT: Changed vote from 3.5 to 3.0

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy movie is bad. Really bad. You just won't believe how vastly, staggeringly, jaw-droppingly bad it is. I mean, you might think that The Phantom Menace was a hopelessly misguided attempt to reinvent a much-loved franchise by people who, though well-intentioned, completely failed to understand what made the original popular - but that's just peanuts to the Hitchhiker's movie. Listen....
