At best, movie games are praised with backhands like, "The developers tried to impress people who don't care," or "For some reason, the designers put more effort into this property than it really deserved." The thing is, no matter the intended artistry of any movie game, they are foremost co-marketing opportunities. The notion behind a movie game is to sell that game to people who like the movie, and especially to children who often, though neither exclusively nor unanimously, tolerate a lot of gaming mediocrity in the name of playing scenes and characters from films."
