Did you get a chance to read it, too? I thought the book was much better than the movie.

I've read all five. Killer books.

I recall much youthful excitement for the movie only to end up walking out of the theater.

(I see how my first comment could be misinterpreted: I meant, all that I saw when I opened your poll was that you had Hitchhiker's Guide on there. I voted without needing to see any of the other results.)

It was a good series, wasn’t it? When I saw the movie I was really disappointed. I guess the printed word and your own imagination is much better than a director’s vision of what something should look like.

I've been reading it to my kids, but they aren't digging it as much as I expected. Perhaps they are still a little young.

I think that some of the humor in the books is aimed at adults and people who understand the world a bit better than kids. I had the same experience when reading LOTR to my kids when they were young. They wanted to skip over some of the best parts because of lack of action.
