I'm assuming film & TV licensed games don't count? Else we'd just post hundreds of those.

That says, Apocalypse with Bruce Willis on PS1.

It has good animation, music and some cool character designs. The gameplay is easily some of the most unplayable garbage ever made. It doesn't quite deserve the level of hate it used to get, it isn't good but it has some qualities.
