Also haha theres a hannah montana game XD

It really all depends on what the movie is, who the developer is, and what sort of restrictions the publisher puts on the developer. Despite a natural trend that has befallen on these type of games over the years, there have been some really good movie-based games.
Actually, now it almost seems like the majority of movie-based games are getting the attention from the developers they need to become quality games.

Of course, there will always be really trashy and butt-ugly games being made. These games normally take after some children movies, but that seems to be happening less and less. It's all for a lame attempt at trying to abuse ignorant parents and children into buying them and leach off of their hard earned cash with very poor games.
They make the most simplistic of programs, plaster iconic children characters and stars on the over, and sell it on the most successful video game system at the time, polluting its library of games (mainly Wii and DS for this generation).

We have a name for these type of games: shovelware.
These games should all join the Atari ET game in the landfills and the developer of these games should be berried alive with them (Ubisoft, I hope you like dirt).
