Almost without fail (I said almost), any game based on a movie, or movie based on a game has been crap. I suppose the developers are hoping that the popularity of the title from the original medium will generate enough interest that they don't have to invest money in the actual gameplay.
I don't see this as a good trend
I dont' think we'll see full blown commercials between cut scenes or load screens.
The most natural place for advertisements would be the load screens themselves. Right now I'm treated to some comic book style art of Captain America beating the snot out of Red Skull; I envision this image being replaced with Captain America telling me that I can be an Army of One.
I'm not sure how I feel about that, but the problem will be that there won't be much incentive to keep loading times short. Just the opposite could happen.

Does it count if I play the game whilst wearing leather speedos?
