Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the only good one I can think of. X-men 1st Class was okay but felt unnecessary. {nm}

What do you think? The whole prequel-idea of any movie-blockbuster is allways dissapointing to me {nm} JMT-NL Dec 13, 07:42

Wow... my internal message didn't come through. Was a rant about how I hated Starwars 1, 2 and 3 ( the prequel trilogy ;-) JMT-NL Dec 13, 07:51

I except in the case of "The Hobbit" which was first published on 21 September 1937, J R R Tolkien then started writing in stages from The Mogul of the Rings Dec 13, 08:17

How big of a blockbuster does a movie have to be to count? And does something like Godfather 2 count since it has some prequel aspects? {nm} Paul2k Dec 13, 08:11

Don't know really... but Godfather part 2 is a great exception to this. What a film !! JMT-NL Dec 13, 08:16

I'm glad you said that because we would really hate to have had to send a fish wrapped in newspaper to your family. :)- Vashta Nerada Dec 13, 08:29

Not counting re-boots like Casino Royale and Batman Begins and Star Trek, X-Men First Class is probably the only good, recent prequel RogerMore Dec 13, 08:23

Oh yes, that was good too. {nm} RogerMore Dec 13, 08:54

The apes prequel was great ! Lets hope they dont make a part 2, 3, 4 and 5 JMT-NL Dec 13, 09:20

How about Star Trek (the reboot/prequel) and Rise of the Planet of the Apes? {nm} Abraxas Dec 13, 08:30

yup...it's all in the execution {nm} tealfan Dec 13, 08:36

It's all in execution, most prequels are money grabs, if the studio puts a bit of effort into it, they can be good. {nm} LanceStorm22 Dec 13, 12:58
