Default Which are best? Movies based on videogames, or games based on movies?

I got this from gamefaqs poll of the day, but thought it was quite an interesting subject.
I recently made a topic for the SH movie in the SH forum, and, as expected, RE movies popped up as well, and the general opinion is "they suck" (referred to movies based on videogames).
However, I came to think, that I'd rather die, or even worse, I'd rather see one of those awful RE movies, before playing a game based on a movie. I remember playing The Mummy in my old PS1, and OMG, it sucked! Worst game I played in my life undoubtely.

So, it seems there's not a good relation between games and movies, both of them based on the other, are not fulfilling the public's expectations. Although I personally think that movies based on games had better results so far.

So, what do you think on this subject?
Should companies give up on attemps to mix videogames with movies, or should they continue until they get really good at it (if that's possible)?



By the way, I always wanted some FF movie , but not a sequel like Advent Children , an entire FF made into a movie , but I guess that was too much to ask
On the other hand, if they did that, they would have probably ruined some good FFs
