Being too young too ever experience the original's of this story, I really had no idea what this film entailed. I had only ever heard brief mutters in the school yard as a child but i never wondered what this hitchhikers guide to the galaxy was. The film has been promoted to the extremes so it was very hard not to notice in the leading weeks to its release. I wondered what the hype was all about so I booked some tickets for a showing. The great British humour hit me from the start and reminded me of some Monty python films in an updated form. This set the tone for the whole film. A modern remake like this would never have had the same outcome if the casting was American. Stephen Fry was a joy to listen to as narrator, as he described all the wonderful creatures and objects that Arthur Dent and the crew came upon.
Even without prior knowledge of anything to do with the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, I thoroughly enjoyed this film. I know the fuss that is brought up when re-makes are made, or adaptations from books/comics are put on film, so thats why I don't read books or comic because I love film and if you sit through a film to criticise it because it doesn't match the book, then stick to the damn books
