Saw this at a matinee viewing, and after hearing countless critics and nerds bash it, I'll admit my expectations were somewhat lowered. Still, I came out of this movie a happy man - I think they did right by it. They included some of my favorite bits, and the new stuff wasn't too bad at all. Sure, the romance subplot was a bit heavy and overdone, but I can overlook that. Acting was great on pretty much all fronts, and the special effects - especially the Magrathea shipyard - were gorgeous. I did miss some of the funnier parts of the book, but it would be hard to convert them to film. Overall, the transformation from book to movie did no more harm than the LOTR transformation. 4/5
