I saw Hitchhikers earlier today. Some minor spoilers in my small review.
Visually, it was utterly amazing. I particularly loved the whole Vogon design, their planet, and every single little thing Vogon. Awesome species!
The humour was good, to an extent, I thought. The POV gun, the guys who make planets painting Ares Rock (etc) was fantastic, but some of the jokes fell a little bit flat.. and kind of ran out of steam. For example, when the whale was falling through the air, it started funny, the way it talked really fast and surprised, but then it became a kind of dull monologue that really ruined the effect. :/
Over use of romance and toning down of wit and sarcasm wasn't appreciated.
Overall, a great film. I liked the way it was just silly, and didn't take itself seriously, even if some of the jokes were delivered as such (unfortunately).
