For me, it has to be Alien: Colonial Marines as it’s terrible due to inconsistent frame rate (moments the game ran smooth and times where lag was insane, even with the best hardware). Both player & enemy AI is crap since the combat wasn’t even that immersive plus Xenomorph AI isn’t as intimidating due to it being poorly implemented.
I never played it, but E.T. The Extraterrestrial caused the near death of the entire video game industry

So many good ones already listed I’ll add a unique one.
Street Fighter: The Movie
It was a game, based on the movie, based on the original games.
The disaster of Colonial Marines is well documented. Iirc, part of the issue is that they gimped the Xenomorph AI at the last minute, an issue that has been fixed with mods. Another part, I believe, was Borderlands. I don’t think it was outright proven, but there were accusations that money provided for the development of Aliens was instead funnelled to the development of Borderlands by gearbox.
I learned to avoid those early on, so I haven’t played many games based on mives.
Of the ones that i actually played, it must’ve been Batman Forever on SNES. I never figured how to get past that part in the first fucking level, where you’re expected to press up + select at a very specific spot
