Marvin, especially, was a let-down on the big screen. He was cute. Marvin should not be presented as cute. In the TV show he was big, clunky, and looked perpetually depressed, which is how the Paranoid Android should look. I also didn't care for the liberties the movie took with the established story line.

Yes, the TV show did get it right where the movie just sucked.

BTW, have you listened to the radio series? As I'm sure you know, the radio series predated even the books.

Yes, I've heard the radio series. It's excellent. Better then the books in some ways. It's the way I'd love audiobooks to be done. I'd love full cast and full sound effects. A good example is the full cast version of
Ender's Game.
