Agreed. One of the best movie tie in series, I think. Very little replay value on the hack and slash games, though.
Surprisingly, the second and third were produced by EA, but still quite good, even though EA's slogan should be "ruin everything" for its murder of many a franchise.
One major reason why most movie tie-ins suck is that there's little scope for creativity, more often than not they have to be moulded around the relatively short cinematic story of the film, and people will have seen the movie beforehand. Thus, the whole plot is ruined. You don't often get a cinematic experience in a movie-tie in, just the odd film cutscene.
That, and movie tie-ins often have to be rushed. Generally though, film tie ins, especially those of blockbuster family films, are mostly meant to appeal to guillible kids, but not always.
Game based films are only slightly better. Television and long running franchise tie-ins tend to be quite good, though. Because there's a wider for creativity, they don't tend to have rushed development as such, etc, etc.
That's why the Lord of The Rings games are quite good. Wouldn't hurt to have a remake of the hack 'n slash as FF-style RPGs, though.
The Bond games, as it's been pointed out, are also usually good. The games can have their own independent stories, and don't have to be based on any particular film. They just have to feature James Bond, the compulsory Bond girls, etc, and all the rest is generally independent. Nightfire and Everything or Nothing were especially great.

Video Games based of Movies/TV shows that don't suck 
it is actually fun, but once you get to a certain point, it is really hard. I loved using the Chakram. I'd use it all the time and I'd hit cows and stuff. Zombies too. It'd cut them in half sometimes.
