The screenwriters not understanding the ending of the book. Example: Sphere by Michael Crichton. Pretty authentic until the ending. It totally missed the mark. Although the book ending was understood by more wimmin than men. (You had to pay attention.) It was great.

Relying on special effects more than the story.

Good - Raiders of the Lost Ark
Bad - I can't say I've seen a lot of recent action films but Transformers, of which I've watched about 5 minutes, comes to mind.
