Don't Panic. OK, Maybe Panic.

For the first time I read a review of the upcoming Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy movie. It doesn't sound too promising:

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.”

Ouch. There's also a list of things that do not appear in the movie. [No spoilers in either of these links; a more extensive review with spoilers is available there, however]

I'm still a little bit hopeful for the movie. I don't get my expectations up too high about most movies, and try not to compare books to movies so much. We'll see...

The movie did not suck. It was actually quite decent.
