      Although not quite the disaster the Star Wars prequels were, Prometheus was a similar folly.https://twitter.com/totalfilm/status/666262139808653316 …

      Don't do prequels, folks! Mysteries are more thrilling than solutions & "in medias res" is always better than "ab ovo"

          @HeerJeet It depends. The Godfather Part II (the prequel part) is pretty good.

          @Diezmartinez That's all one movie (it's all in the novel). They just chopped it in two.

          @HeerJeet Vinge's A Deepness in the Sky is a great prequel, but tangential enough to raise more questions than it answers. Prometheus wasn't

          @HeerJeet in medias res is the cheapest, most overused screenwriting trick that robs the audience of building suspense.

          @HeerJeet if someone made Psycho today they would start with the shower scene and then flash back to Janet Leigh stealing the money.

          @HeerJeet Prometheus was promising until they blew up the severed head. It was all downhill from there.

          @HeerJeet as for prequels, can't really argue, though I call stuff like Prometheus (which I quite liked) and the recent Thing a "premake"...

          @HeerJeet ...because they are essentially retelling the story they are supposedly a prequel to. It can be done well, just usually isn't.

          @HeerJeet Another exception: Infernal Affairs 2, prequel of Infernal Affairs, that Scorsese made as The Departed.
