Top Ten Best Movie Prequels

These are some of the most beloved prequels ever made. Also keep in mind sense I haven't seen a bunch of prequels, I'm ranking these on how much popularity they have (for the most part).

The Top Ten

1 Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith

Am I the only one who likes this more then the original movies, including Empire Strikes Back?

Best Star wars prequel. Almost as good as the originals.

I don't care what people say. This is the best movie ever!

Are you kidding me this movie is really boring I fell asleep watching this in theatres what a Bore

2 X-Men: First Class

Origins Wolverine is boring, First Class will be a classic in the future!

3 Monsters University

I think it's terrible. It's a rip off of Animal House and that's the plot.
It's so unnecessary and stupid to me.

It can't live up to the original, but this is a smart prequel with a powerful, unconventional message.

4 Rogue One: A Star Wars Story

5 Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom

All Indiana Jones movies are great, except for the movie with Shia Labeouf

I haven't seen it yet

6 Rise of the Planet of the Apes

This ISN'T a prequel. It's a remake

Edit: It's a reboot. But I don't know why people are calling it a prequel.

It rises above the rest of the movie with apes in the title. Especially when the Tim Burton remake.

7 The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

This was great. In spite of the filler you could see that there was a good movie hiding in The Hobbit trilogy, but that good movie was harder to spot in the other two movies. (The good movie though is called the "Cardinal Cut")

I like the Desolation of Smaug the best. The first one, nothing really happened other than Bilbo finding the ring. The last one was okay, but the second one is the best. The movies could have been a lot better, though.

All three were great

8 The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly

Although the movie follows the adventures of the Man With No Name, he's not the central character of the film.
Set in New Mexico in 1862, the story follows the exploits and misadventures of a bandit named Tuco, played by Eli Wallach, trying to get revenge and money from his scam partner, the Man With No Name, whom he almost affectionately dubs "Blondie". Betrayal, slapstick, torture and violent bromance ensue as the two are forced to work together to find buried Confederate gold.
As a prequel, it's good. As a standalone film, it's a masterpiece. Dramatic, tense, powerful, emotional, beautifully crafted and side-splittingly hilarious.
It's not for everyone, but as my kind of film, it's perfect. A beautiful, rugged work of art. And Eli Wallach flawlessly burns up the screen in the role of a lifetime. This is his movie and he owns every second of his screentime.

9 Prometheus
