HGttG - no spoilers

As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

I was pretty amused. The effects were good but not out of this world. Could really tell it was a british type movie. It must have been hard for them to figure out which parts to show and which to skip. Will see it again when it comes to video. I caught alot of visual things in reference to other things. Sure I missed more.

Did you read the book?

I've heard if you're a big fan of the book, you won't like this film.

I loved the books. Those had me on the floor laughing. I thought on the way in that it would be like LotRs. So many funny details that they would never be able to fit them all in. So I just relaxed and enjoyed the ride. I did find it easier to follow having read the books and knowing the plot.
I was surprised at the beginning listing Douglas as an executive producer and other jobs. He has been dead for alwhile now. At the end it said for Douglas.
They even had small cartoons during the credits with direct quotes from the book. I haven't heard but I think I saw some foreshadowing for a next movie.
