I think 'this isn't a good piece of media' and 'this isn't a good adaptation' are two different criticisms, and they're both reasonable criticisms. If a thing is meant to be an adaptation (or remake) of an original, then I think they do have to have an understanding that comparisons to the original are inevitable and not unfair. The new media isn't its own thing, because the link to the original exists, so it will be judged at least partly on those grounds. Sometimes it's the technical aspects that are bad (pacing in the Hobbit movies, for example), and sometimes it's the representation of characters or themes from the original that don't go down well. I think both are fair viewpoints for judging a work that is explicitly based on another work.
