10 Unnecessary Movie Prequels That Added Nothing to the Original Movies According to Screenrant

"Prequels are used to expand the story of the original movie & answer some of the biggest questions about the characters & their backstories, but there have been some prequels that were completely unnecessary & did nothing to add or improve the original movie. The entertainment industry is defined by trends, & one that has been going strong in the film industry for many years now is that of prequels. Many filmmakers have opted to make prequels to well-known movies in an effort to expand their universes and their characters' stories, and while this has worked sometimes, in many cases they did more harm than good. Some stories are actually better with some mystery in them, and not all characters need their backstories to be shown and expanded, leading to the failure of many movie prequels. These unnecessary prequels didn't answer big mysteries, & even worse, they tried to answer questions that the audience didn't even have, sometimes making the original movie confusing." - screenrant.com
