    the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy... (minor spoilers alert)

    is very very good. i particularly liked the wooly bit..

    in most cases i thought the cgi was very natural looking - the only bit that looked a tad blue-screened was the flying thru earth bit. its been years since i read the books (my missus thought some bits were missing), but i was overall well impressed

    Went to see it today - I thought it was pretty good although not as good as the radio series. Marvin is brilliant though (although they took out the whistling bit). Zaphod is abit ... hmm, probably the weakest character.

    Hmm - hard to say... if you read the book, its different enough to not spoil things totally... but it may not make as much sense if you havent.
