The Playstation 2 had plenty of 'Movie to Game' adaptions and the games were usually fun, if not a little cookie cutter from each other. I think fans can sometimes be critical of any adaption to the point of them not actually seeing the adaption as anything other than an easy way to cash out on the name or series alone.

If the game adaptation doesn't have good mechanics or gameplay then yes, I could understand that viewpoint completely. But if the game tried to make an effort to implement any special abilities the character has for the player to use then there is at least an attempt at trying and I have to give them credit for that.

The worst feeling though is when a game adaptation does well but never gets a sequel or a spinoff using those gameplay mechanics, (King Kong: The official Game of the Movie)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the matter, it was an interesting read for sure!
