Terrible games inspired by movies

Much like game to movie adaptations, movie to game adaptations seem to be cursed. I know by now to stay very far away from any games made to cash in on a movie release. Some of the early Harry Potter games were decent but nothing else really comes to mind as worth playing.
 
About the only two I've ever played are Chronicles of Riddick: Escape From Butcher Bay and Dark Athena. Out of the two, Dark Athena was the "worst", and it wasn't really too terrible. Just not as good. I really haven't bothered with many games inspired by movies. Because I know they'll be sh*t.
 
I remember the first game I had, the lion king. It was one of those kids games that mixed education with random stuff, that was fun but then again I was like 5 so yay for pretty pictures. Now my cuz is playing Despicable with the same concept, cut paste change lion to minion and sell by the truck load.

I was also unlucky enough to play Avatar on Wii, lots of remote waving and I did get the story except to run, bash guys with my long stick and run some more. It just felt weird, the only decent gameplay was flying the Banshee/ Ikran because well I was flying a fricking Ikran enough said.

Also wasn't there a Street Fighter: the movie: the game a cash in on the movie which was a cash in to the game?

Lastly ET

Edit
Found it

Who can forget ET, the game that nearly killed the gaming industry.
 
Fantastic 4 was good but too short , so that put me off a bit.
I didn't enjoy 007:quantum of solace that much thought it was too controled, could not mess around or do my thing.
 
Well i actually played Avatar and it wasn't that horrid but it wasn't a gem either.
And the Lost World Jurassic park was also kinda decent(arcade game)

Also Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers & Return Of The King was good i enjoyed that
And Wolverine was well worth it
 
Wolverine, Battle for Middle Earth and the first Starship Troopers game are gems and everyone should play these at least once.

Take into account that the Nolan series Batman movies sparked the craze of the Arkham Batman games, which are, without a doubt, the best ever!
 
Superman returns on Xbox. I had such high hopes and that all came crashing down soon after starting up this game. I tried to justify playing it, but in the end it got stacked with the other games on my "why oh why" stack.

It was one of my first 360 games and I played the crap out of it. For a 2006 game it was damn good imho. I loved hitting Mach4 and moving so fast you didn't hear anything! :D

I got the game a bit later, and just had such high hope for it being a DC fan. Alas not to be. At least the Batman Arkham games made up for it later on.
 
Anyone remember the Matrix game that was a tie-in with the movie? Must admit it had a few cool sequences in it but got old quite fast. The one thing that I vividly remember is all the vehicles square looking tyres though.

I remember that. Was it not called Path to Neo or was that a different one? That game wasn't too terrible.

I must've missed out on the other one then as I only remember Path of Neo.

Was called Enter the Matrix.

Wiki Link.

Was much better than Path of Neo, but still pretty bad.
