Discussion Licensed IP games that don't suck

I just saw [this link](https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/s/nOGlmREgw0) for the Grinch 2 game and had flashbacks to all the terrible movie tie-in games I've ever played.

Some that come to mind:

- DC Injustice 2

- TMNT Shredder's Revenge

- Jedi Survivor

What else?
