I know prequels don't have to be bad as a rule, but I was having this discussion the other day with some people I know and we had a really hard time coming up with good prequels. Reboots don't count, and they're not telling the old story but inventing a new one that doesn't actually fit with the canon, so they don't fall into the same pitfalls. Oh, and Temple of Doom doesn't really count either, because the only thing that makes it a prequel is the date at the beginning.

So...all we could really come up with was X-Men: First Class. And Godfather II, but that's both prequel and sequel, so it kind of cheats.

At this point, I'm rather hesitant to support any prequels, as clearly no one knows how to actually pull it off. Granted, Prometheus may make me eat my words.
