H2G2: My Lame Review

I promise I'll keep this mostly spoiler free, but lets face it, if you were a true fan, you'd have gone and seen it by now.

It was Mostly Harmless.

I went into it half expecting to be very disappointed in it since it would alter all the visions I've had of everything in my mind. It didn't exactly do that, and there wasn't really anything that made me want to throw popcorn at the screen. Not that I could have, because movie theater popcorn is about as expensive as pure gold. I was disappointed with Ford, because I'd always pictured him as another funny looking english type, but it works if you don't have the preconceived notion that everyone from england is a funny looking white person.

The only other thing that really got me was Zaphoid's second head and the fact that his 3rd arm was not used more. In fact, it would have been pretty hard to say that he had a 3rd arm, if not for the fact that I knew he did from reading the book. I do wish they had actually given him the second head on his sholder, and not under his first. We're pretty good with these special effects things now. I suppose that would have made the more expensive to film though.

I also liked the strange brodwayesque(Look, I made up a word) song about the dolphins. Call me weird, but I thought that was incredibly funny.
