I have never been a huge fan of the dreaded "Prequel" because in my own personal opinion - a prequel should be released well before the sequel instead of in the opposite order. It has always driven me crazy when a film is released and then 2 years+ later a prequel to the original movie is released. Usually a prequel is only released when the original film has a storyline that makes you wonder - well how did this come to be? or I wonder what made them like that?
