I think a lot of people felt that way about Harry Potter, too. But they carried well enough.
You really can't go to a film expecting an exact adaptation. I, personally, wouldn't want to - the director, the actors, the sound crew, the film editors, the camera ops, the electricians - all of these people makes hundreds, maybe thousands of decisions as the project goes along, adding their own spins and variations on the core vision provided by the author. It's really wonderful to see what all that effort... all those choices... end up looking like.
Of course, sometimes it's just plain crap. But Sam Raimi did a great job with Spiderman and I think a lot of people in this guild probably liked some of his other works (Army of Darkness, the Hercules and Xena series, etc.)
Also, Pratchett intentionally uses cinematic imagery in many of his books.
And, while a narrator isn't always neccessary, sometimes it can add charm to a fantasy narrative. It depends how you play it.
So, I think it's got a chance. I'll plop some money on it if the film comes out.
