^Everything you just said can be summed up as expectation vs. outcome.
If a movie gets a lot of hype/high ratings and you go into it expecting something great and get only something mediocre, that to me is a valid criticism. Likewise, if you're a fan of a book and go see the movie as part of your fandom, you're going to have certain expectations. If they aren't met, to me that's also a valid criticism.

Overall my issue is that the most common criticism of a movie these days is what other people rate it. Bad story, bad acting, bad effects, etc, are all the "fault" of the movie. Other people having a higher opinion of it than you is not. IMO
