No "Empire"
Its a prequel, whaddayagonna fo. Lucas should not write screenplays and Natalie Portman is clearly in love with Natalie Portman. Boba Fett is always cool though.

Great storyline
Awesome prequel
This incarnation of Star Trek strays from the original, TNG, DS9 and Voyager. The action like most Star Trek series starts right off and sets the tone for the whole series.

An unnecessary prequel
The problem with most prequels is they feel the need to overexplain things that aren't necessary. A certain amount of ambiguity is good for a film, and often allows the watcher to come up with their own theories. And this is the main problem with this prequel - did we need to know exactly what happened to the Norwegian team? No not really, as we saw enough in the original to use our imagination. So this prequel for me was entirely unnecessary.

It also didn't help that the plot was for the most part very similar to the original, which begs the question why make something so similar? The creature designs etc were very good, creepy and pretty scary and very in keeping with the original, but they completely ruined it with the horrendous cgi. Why they didn't stick with physical effects I'll never know, as it made the creature just look shoddy. The ending is potentially also a bit of a plot hole as it then doesn't tie in to the original.

There are a few things in this that could've been improved, but even with that, it'd still be an unnecessary prequel.

I was very disappointed in this as I am such a massive fan of the original.

The 3rd installment of the series but a prequel with a period setting. Set in 19th century Canada it shows the origins of the curse. A nice idea and good that the same 2 actresses are used in all films. It reminded me a bit of the 4th Tremors film that also acted as a prequel. However the first film is much better with an edgy modern day setting. Ok as werewolf films go, the costumes for them are pretty cool, but overall the film was fairly average.

Horror tv show prequel to Psycho, an Alfred Hitchcock film from 1960 and book by Robert Bloch. Very intense, lots of blood, lots of gore. My favorite show of all time. Genuinely cried when it ended
