There are any number of reasons why I like some adaptations and violently dislike others.

I loved the LotR movies, the odd quibble aside. I liked the first Hobbit movie, the odd quibble aside, and was actually quite invested in the expanded take on what had happened to the dwarves and their view because of it. Then the second and third Hobbit movies happened and just ... no. For any number of reasons, not least horrible pacing, random inserted subplots, and characterisation that I just couldn't get on board for.

I loved Granada Holmes for being relatively close to the original, deeply enjoyed the Downey movieverse for being fun and slashy and not taking itself seriously at all, and violently loathed Sherlock for taking itself very seriously indeed, having characterisation that again I was NOT fond of, and just generally feeling shallow and OTT.

I adored the musical of Les Mis, because goddamnit it's stirring and catchy and amazing, didn't mind the movie of the musical at all, and hated the 1998 Geoffrey Rush movie entirely because of one scene at the end that butchered Valjean's characterisation.

I actually like the movie version of V for Vendetta more than the comic book, although I recognise that it majorly changed the theme and tone of the book. I just, well, like the theme/tone of the movie better.

I have enjoyed more or less every screen entry to the Star Wars universe thus far (if some more shallowly than others), and a significant portion of the EU, though that is considerably more hit-and-miss.

I violently detest the new Star Trek movies, largely for being grimdark and shallow and again with the characterisation I just don't want to see (also Khan, never letting that go, NEVER letting that go), although I love any and all Bones scenes and am almost tempted by the trailer for the new one.

It largely depends on the adaptation, but I think characterisation is a major button for me, particularly when it's characters I adored in the original, and I'm also not inclined to like major mood changes in a darker direction (though I'll often enjoy a lighter take) or clumsy manipulation of the original for cheap angst. And some of them are just badly done (again, last two Hobbit movies).
