Predict Hitchiker's Guide final score for rottentomatoes.com

[fantasticfour40]

I know we have Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy thread already but this is a thread predicting the final score of reviews for rottentomatoes.com

My fan score is 86 percent but in reality I think it will do about 65 percent of good reviews on rottentomatoes.com

[Fanible]

Between 50-65% is going to be a pretty plausible guess.

[fantasticfour40]

I hope it's higher but I think you're guess is about as good mine.

[carnage4u]

i'm going to say 42% :)

[fantasticfour40]

You better be wrong carnage4u. Anything lower than 50 percent will be a tragic.

[carnage4u]

well i said that answer for a few reasons :)

[Brenzi51]

well i said that answer for a few reasons :)

What are your reasons?...just curious

[spide-ed]

Well seeing as half the people giving thier judgement will be never read a british book, 15-30 y/o Americans who like dumb action movies 50-60% would be a good result.

[DieselPower]

40-50%...but I hope I'm wrong.

[Boiiinng]

42%

[Brock Landers]

42%

Ba ha hahaha ha. Good one. :D

[Cloud Buster]

I don't think it's going to get a very high score either. I'd say in the 60% range. Hitchhiker's is a real cult classic, and I don't think it's going to go over well with most audiences.

[iv3rdawG]

I will say around 56%

[diasyjazz]

Going bold....70% fresh.....I have a good feeling about this one.

[Fanible]

Many of us have a good feeling about it, but more so thinking about how the general public will take it.

[Andrey83]

Hmmm.....I'm really unsure about this one.

I dont think the general public will think of it as good as the hype is here.

Maybe.....56%

I know i know....just wishful thinking and based off of reading some of the fan boards..that said...i will be happy if its just above 50%

Well there in lies the difference. Those were fan boards. ;)

[fantasticfour40]

I hope it's above 50 to. This month on rottentomatoes.com the scores have been higher than the last few months, with such movies as Sin City, the Amityville Horror, and Fever Pitch doing well, and over the 50 percent rating.

I think April 29th will be the first weekend where we have two solid movies out
Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy 66 percent
XXX: The State of the Union 62 percent

I also think America has been interested into BBC Radio lately with such films like Lord of the Rings and now this Hitchiker's Guide, British series being made into movies might be a new wave.

First of all, who cares about ratings percentages, critics, etc.

Secondly, If you think that XXX will get over 50%, you are blinder than I thought you were, which is pretty bad.

Thirdly, I doubt general America even knows that Hitchhiker is from England. You give too much credit to people.

[Spirited Away]

It's a v. British film, according to Empire's review. And it's set in England at first. And the main character is English.

[todd philip]

22

[CConn]

I'd say about 65%

I think most people will think of it as good...but not exactly earth shattering...

[sshuttari]

65-85

truthfully i only trust Eberts review

[winter]

I get concerned when Harry Knowles has reservations about a movie, since he gushes over just about everything, so I'm giving it a 68%.

[LOTRNUT04]

id have to say 50-60 although im going to see it either way

[Fanible]

So far it's at 60% out of 10 reviews.

[atropfunk]

This is definitely a film that I don't care what a critic thinks. There is little chance that they understand the brand of humor, or will get all the jokes.

But I still think critics will generally like it, and it will end up in the 60-70% fresh range

[BOINK]

63

[fantasticfour40]

i was the closest. i guessed 65 but really it's 63.

[sshuttari]

now 62 (would we be mad it was 42)

[CConn]

i was the closest. i guessed 65 but really it's 63.I guessed 65 as well. ;)

[Fanible]

65-85

truthfully i only trust Eberts review

Ebert didn't like it. =\
I was actually kind of suprised. I was guessing he'd give it a thumbs up,
and Roeper would give a thumbs down.

yeah i caught his show today, i was really surprised that ebert didnt like it when i caught his review friday morning. I dont really care much for Roeper's review.

[FireStars]

im going to go and see this movie today at 5:15 so lets hope that it will be good.

*i havent read the book do you think i will still understand it?*

There will be some parts in the movie where u wont understand why something is funny or why some of the characters are doing what there doing, but if u keep ur mind open and go with the flow of the movie. U will find movie speacial thats totally differnet and unique, and VERY FUNNY.

[moviechild]

I'd say about 40-50%. I also expected this film to have a higher opening box office. Only $21 million?

[FireStars]

Yes the movie was very funny i will have to read the book now..i really liked it

[poashaggy69]

I'm definitely going to have to go buy the book now.
