It's not unfair, it's just that made the book so good wasn't the plot, but the situations and the ideas, and realistically no movie would ever be able to include those. It's not that I am complaining, but that it will inevitably be disappointing.

The example used by the reviewer I heard today is that when Arthur is given the Babel Fish, apparently the Guide's explanation of how a book used the Babel fish as proof of why God cannot exist, because it proves he must exist is completely gone from the film.
