What do you think are the five most underrated film PREQUELS?

Here is my list:

Red Dragon

Batman Begins

Casino Royale

Cube Zero

X-Men Origins: Wolverine {sorry, I just HAD to put this in there, so EXCUSE ME!}

Batman Begins was pretty highly rated, most people liked it. Just saying.

Star Wars prequels.

All pretty good except Wolverine. Sorry but any movie in the modern era that does a "light spilled gasoline on fire with a cigarette then walk away slowly and slo-mo the explosion" automatically loses in my books. That was way too cheesy and just too...."done already", I guess?

While I doubt that it is possible to underrate the Daniel Craig Casino Royale or Batman Begins, I agree about Red Dragon. Keep in mind, though, Red Dragon was filmed as Manhunter back in the 80s, with William 'Gil Grissom' Petersen in the role of Will Graham, and Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter.

Batman Begins is not a prequel it is a reboot.

Not sure I have seen that many prequels. I did not like the X-Men Wolverine film. But I would certainly like to see a film about the story of how Charles and Magneto met and became friends and built Cerebro etc. That would be a very interesting story.

Manhunter was miles better than the remake in my opinion.

Thats good then. I only hope they make a good job of it and its not all reliant on CGI stuff. Charles and Magneto are clearly the most important characters from the XMen and their story should be a good one.
