Thay movie was awful. As a huge fan of the series, I don't know how anyone can watch it and understand the plot without being familiar with it beforehand.
The BBC series is much better, and goes up to Book 3 iirc.
I disagree. I loved the film. I remember it fondly.
Do you like the books? I find that people who like or have read the books tend not to like the movie and vice versa. I do not like the books.
I personally enjoyed the movie, the books, and the BBC series.
Yeah the way I see it is that even Douglas himself didn't quite have a single vision in his mind about the story, which is why there are so many iterations (radio, book, movie, tv series, musical? Am I forgetting anything?)
There was a text adventure game as well.
The books, game, BBC radio series, BBC television series, and film were all written by Adams, each with slightly independent canon.
And a towel.
