Everytime I see a movie game, I never bother to try it since I always think it will suck...

Some of the Spider-Man games were good.

There are a few decent games made from movies (not many) - I think the Lego series games based on movies are pretty good. The other way around seems to be very hard. I'd count the Tomb Raider and Resident Evil movies as pretty good, and worthwhile, the best effort at game-to-movie but still not great movies.

How about Tron?: Movie-->Game-->Movie-->Game?
