Member reviews from imdb.com (Fair warning: this is a site known for it's trolls, with bad reviews of movies they've never seen, etc.)
- Those Cheeky Mice And Their Excellent Film
- Hitchhiker's Guide is born again!
- Don't Panic
- Here's a rather non-committal review!
- This is a good and faithful recreation of Hitchhikers
- brilliant... for most
- This movie is Mostly Harmless...
- Apathetic bloody planet
- Entertaining adventure, well made, brightly acted... But maybe a bit too obtuse for non fans...
- What has all the fuss been about?
- Mostly harmless
- Marvin is beauty
- A film which could have been so much more...
- Excellent and fitting tribute to Douglas Adams
- Utterly Enjoyable!
- The first good movie of the year.
- Don't Panic!
- Don't Panic! Douglas Adams' legacy has been turned into a delicious acid-trip of a movie, featuring love, aliens and the answer to life, the universe and everything.
- Much worse than the BBC TV series
- HitchHikers Guide to Mediocrity
- Not as good as I'd hoped, but not bad for a big budget film.
- Brilliant, goofy, and awe-inspiring. Improbably Wonderful! At last-- the best of British humor, in a Hollywood-quality classic!
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy translates badly
- a very major let down
- very sad
- Adams must be spinning in his grave
- Hollywood mostly hits, but really never gets the point
- another awful "Holywood" movie...
- as good as it gets
- Is everyone drunk?
- Another classic story ruined
