Mr_Danger Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 How is Maleficent a prequel? It's just an alternative take on the Sleeping Beauty story. It's not even that different. It's shite though, total waste of Sharlto Copley who should be in much more than he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharlto Copley has yet to let me down, performance wise. Even liked Free Fire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was led to believe that it was the origin story of Maleficent and how she went bad, before the events of Sleeping Beauty. LIke I say, I hadn't seen it.

Perhaps worst of all it's a prequel, which got me thinking are there any actually good prequels? I mean sequels get a lot of stick but I'm fucked if I can think of a great prequel.

Bloody hell, yet another film I didn't know was a prequel! I love the Dollars trilogy, but I always thought they were meant to be three separate stories with different characters.

There's arguments for and against them being connected (Clint's character being called different names by people, The same actors playing different roles) but time wise this film is set before the others and features him collecting the items for his signature look.

Wow I had always assumed they were both sequels or even spiritual sequels. A really great shout. Bloody brilliant film but responsible for the worst headache I've ever had in a cinema (has nothing to do with not sleeping all night due to a whisky session) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Jazzy G Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 I liked Rogue One. It stood well on its own as a Star Wars does the Dirty Dozen type thing, but you know what's coming and it doesn't really force the fact that it's a prequel down your throat. There are a few "I remember that guy from ANH" moments, but it feels more like stuff for you to spot in passing as opposed to being "HEY LOOK! IT'S THIS GUY FROM A NEW HOPE! IT'S A PREQUEL INNIT!" A lot of the problem with prequels is that they try to be clever and cute with their in-jokes. While Rogue One just gets on with being the movie it is, but rewarding people watching with a Ponda Baba cameo etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted June 14, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted June 14, 2019 Rogue One and Solo are the only good Star Wars prequels, the other three were terrible films in their own right, let alone feeding into this series. That train scene in Solo is arguably one of the best things in any Star Wars film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Red Dragon. Whilst not a patch on TSOTL, it shits on Hannibal. I know I've watched Hannibal Rising, but I really can't remember it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merzbow Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 (edited) If we can include TV shows then I much prefer Better Call Saul to Breaking Bad. Also, Where does the show Hannibal sit in that world? Is it a separate thing altogether from the movies? Edited June 14, 2019 by Merzbow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's set before Red Dragon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
