I know the history of the books but no matter what is said, the new movie was rubbish. Even knowing that Adams worked on it up until he died, then the director raped what he wasn't around to stop doesn't make me feel any better.cleverlymadeup said:actually so was Rising Sun, totally forgot about that one also by Micheal Crichtonomicronpercei said:

it goes like this
radio play
book
bbc tv series
and various other formats until the movie
all written by Douglas Adams himself, so any changes he made to the movie were done by him
See I am torn on this one. I consider this movie a horrid guilty pleasure but compared to the book, its nothing. I normally reread the book after watching the movie but I still enjoy the movie.bigbrian206 said:
yes!!! wholeheartedly agree!! i think i mainly loved the directing in it though, the long takes were just amazing, and some of the best i've seen in filmorannis62 said:
I would have to say that Payback with Mel Gibson was WAAAAYYYYY better than The Hunter which it was based on...though to give the Hunter credit it was written in like 1967.
and there is something wrong with that?TheLoveRat said:
Twilight was a good book and a fairly decent movie. i like my imagination version of the book better but.....
i have to throw in the one godawful one that i hope noone says was good.
Timeline was the WORST i've ever seen. They completely butchered my favorite book.
i preferred the bbc tv series to the movie. i walked out on the movie(luckily it was only on dvd at a friends house)Struck21 said:I know the history of the books but no matter what is said, the new movie was rubbish.

As long as no one says the Count of Monte Cristo everything will be ok . . . that is the WORST book to movie I've ever seen . . . and I've seen some bad ones
cept the only problem with your theory is they didn't change it from the time Adams died until it was releasedStruck21 said:
so it's all Adam's doing
No way was Clockwork Orange a good adaption! When he has sex with those two willing and legal girls, in the book, it's two little girls and it's rape. The book is a lot more graphic and disgusting and although the film sort of is, it doesn't do much justice to the book.
