    Went to see it today and yes, its brilliant :)

    Original screenplay by Douglas Adams... and it shows :D Excelent film I'd recommend it to anyone. Good old infinite improbaility drive is a good source of humour, and the unlikley use of knitted stop frame animation is hillarious!

    I gotta go see it!

    I remember trying to listen to the audio cassettes back in the early 80's when I was sick with mono. It's a fantastic classic :)

    i gotta read the book sooner or later ... I promised my 8th grade teacher that I would finish reading it because I based my book report solely on the first chapter :rolleyes: if he would give me a passing grade .. i hope that made sense >.<

    Saw it last night. It's impossible not to have a few nitpicks, but overall I liked it a lot. Even with the vast improvement in special effects it managed to stay very British (Red Dwarf, Doctor Who etc) instead of taking on the American(Star Wars, Star Trek) look I was afraid of.

    (Not that I have anything against Star Trek. Just not here...)

    I still can't figure out why they needed Humma Kavula though. :rolleyes:

    Oh please do not nitpick it until all of us foaming to get in have seen it? I'm a douglas adams fan to the nth and i want to see it before i hear anything about it that i can't guess from reading everything he ever wrote.

    Thanks so much.
