I think this film is going to be quite cultish, and doesn't really translate readily into a feature film. Its sci-fi, its british, its british sci-fi, its thinking man's humor as well. Not exactly the right combination for a blockbuster or friendly to reviews.
But the review above isn't expecting it to be a "feature film". Above all else, for the movie to work it has to be funny, and he said it wasn't. And this is someone who clearly appreciated the humor of the books. Of course, it's just one review, but it's a pretty disheartening one.
