Somehow, games based on movies havent turned out that well for me.
Enetr The Matrix is one such example. My friends still taunt me for telling them that the game rocked. How I rue the day I told them this without trying the game myself first.
Then I tried Bad Boys II...I could have puked. The game is so damn annoying.
Got bored with Hulk pretty soon. The stealth levels were a pain in the ass.
Spiderman 2 seemed do kiddish, and when one sees how beautiful the PS2 counterpart is, one simply wants to scream aloud and ask why we PC gamers are subjected to such a torture.

But then there are a few games that I would love to try. Chronicled of Riddick is one such game. Havent tried the LoTR games too. Maybe these games will make into the favourite list of thos who have actually played these game.

KOTR series and Chronicles of the riddick.
Chronicles of the riddick is too good to miss or pass.
It is simply awasome. Best game play in year 2004.
I have reviewed this game ar Guru3d.com
If interested have a read.

I think the best movie based game is Riddick ,
Game based movies suck,all that tomb raider and resident evil had was very good graphics and sound but as a movie they lack good storyline

The best movie based games IMO are:
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic I & II (Xbox)
The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay (Xbox)
Goldeneye (N64)

LOTR - Battle for Middle Earth is the best movie-based game and the best strategy game, IMHO

Cody, you stealed my words. I think the best movie based game i've played is: LOTR: The Return of the King. Bad Boys 2 is AWFUL, BORING, BUGGY, ANNOYING the list is endless. Shrek 2 and SM 2 are childish. Haven't played Matrix, yet. Die Hard: Nakatomi Plaza sucks big time.
