Written humor rarely translates well to the screen. Usually it requires a narrator, and narrator humor just falls flat. That said, this is an adequate retelling of the story, and the actor selections - with the exception of Rincewind - are superb. (I never picture Rincewind to be that old; a ragged imcompetent fop in his 30s is closer to my image.)
As a British production, the use of rubber over CGI is noticeable but fine, given that low-budget CGI looks much worse than a low-budget gorilla suit.
I'll watch part two in a few days and finish my review.
