The Hitchhikers Guide Quadrilogy

The Hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy is an amazingly well written well thought out story comprising of four books in total. I have read all the books and they are some of my favorites. It is for this reason I was terribly excited when I heard that they were making a film. I had hoped that it would be as good as the film transfer from of the Lord of the Rings books but I was sadly mistaken.

The film left me feeling empty and betrayed by a film industry that is obsessed with making money of their loyal fans. What they had done was try to compress the books into one film, where they should have made four separate films. a lot of the story was wrong and cut up and even the well descibed space ship was turned into a ball (in the book it was described as looking like a sleek trainer). It is for this reason that I am now wary of seeing films adapted from books as they tend to damage the memories of what you have read.

If you have seen the film I urge you to read the books as you will see what you missed out on in the cinema, and possibly feel how I feel.
