Funny how he nixed my Godfather idea. Batman Begins is debatable. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/67383 I agree with him that Casino Royale and Batman Begins were reboots, not prequels. I thought X-Men: First Class was a decent prequel when it was originally released. I guess it is no longer count as prequels since they basically made it the starting point of the new X-Men movies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Days of Future Past has to count as a prequel, if for no other reason than the title. That was a solid movie and still prior to the events of the first 3, which is further supported by having the original cast show up throughout and at the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't finish watching it. I was too confused and I like time travel movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I guess the latest Star Trek movies are prequels. They are set in the past of the original movies given old Spock's travel there. I don't think changing the past is the same as a reboot that ignores the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it was a reboot or at best new storyline set in a new universe. This was basically a parallel universe like Mirror Mirror. If this movie was set in the past of original timeline, then any events in this universe (like the destruction of Vulcan Prime) would have prevented so many events in the original timeline. Thus it would have made it impossible for Nero to go to the past to begin with. See this is why I hate dissecting time travel stories. Let's keep new ST movies simple as their storylines so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards' Godzilla wasn't a great film, but this article you shared seems to indicate that Disney is making Rogue One less dark and more kid friendly. Prequels almost always suck because they are shoehorned into a previous timeline and we know what happens afterwards. In fact, has there ever been a great prequel movie? I agree what you typed about prequels. Godfather 2. Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Xmen First Class, Temple oF Doom and Casino Royale. The rest pretty much suck include the SW prequels granted some of these films might be considered reboots / different universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AirborneAFOL Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 So 100% true story. Han Solo fans may appreciate it. Back in 2012 when I got married, my sister was dating/living with some scrawny LA actor who my groomsmen had fun ribbing. Apparently he had some big "blockbuster" called Beautiful Creatures coming up he was gonna be the "next big thing" from. Alden something, I didn't really pay attention other than he was the dude my sister had been dating a few years, he seemed like an artsy dweeb who took himself way too seriously for my tastes. Beautiful Creatures flopped a few months later, and he went into a 3-month depression where he barely left his bed. My sister left his pouty ass. Turns out scrawny Alden (Ehrenreich) was cast as the new Han Solo just recently here. My sister has since married some other guy. But the moral of the story: Hans f***ing Solo was at my wedding. I've got pictures of and with Hans Solo at my wedding. Top that! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodeogeorge Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) That too, is a good one. But die hard blew my 12 year-old mind. That roof top explosion sequence? Awesome bad buys. An un-assuming hero against all odds... Timeless cinema magic. Come to think of it, I should make a die hard sticker for the Palace cinema. Oh yeah, I am excited to see Rogue One.
