I would just like to point out that this film is one of the best I have seen in a long time.
Just had to be said. xD

I read that they completely left out the Rastaurant at the End of the Universe, The "B" Ark, and made up a whole new ending. *sigh* Thats why Im trying to look at it as a "new" movie rather than a "remake" of what I have always known...cause it never needed to be remade in my opinion.

If they had just stuck to the book for the most part and added the new ending, it would have fit into 2 hours and been ok. However, as if the plot of the book (or the radio drama) was not material enough, they felt the need to add in a completely new and separate plot-line. The addition of the second plot line made very little time to properly explore either. Instead, it dashes madly from scene to scene hoping to death that it will not only finish in the alloted time, but make some kind of sense while doing it. In most cases, just as one joke is coming to completion at least 3 more jokes are being poised to be completely missed altogether due not only to the audiences muffled laughter, but to the films apparent assumption that speed in editing is infinitely more important than comedic timing. So a lot of what would otherwise be wonderful jokes are missed and the audience is left with the opinion that the story is not nearly as funny as they were lead to belive.

On a totally seperate (and legal) note...I love bit torrent.
