With the amount of movies recently wishing to expand their storyline and their wallets only to find that they've ended the sequels too quickly with no possible chance to bring another sequel on the end without inventing some kind of ressurection machine/time travel device/general bullshit story that goes something like this "Hey, I bet you didnt realise that the sword went through his arm, NOT his heart therefore he stills lives haha you lose," many movie series are going ahead and making prequels to tell a story that happened before the shit that you already saw in an attempt to further explain the storyline of the characters in the future films which you probably wouldve known about already just by looking up a wikipedia page about the movie or just by watching the movie closely and picking up on all the clues they drop along the way.
This fact behind prologues means that every prologue film ends up spending 1 hour showing you some cool action scenes, 30 minutes filling in some interesting answers for possibly future trivia night quizzes and the other 30 minutes (generally the last 30 minutes of the film) telling you things that you already know if you had already watched the first few movies of the series. And if you decide to take the path of watching the series in chronological order (by the order the movies run, not the dates theyre released) then youre going to find it extremelly frustrating as the prologues generally assume you know who the fuck everyone is.
I mean, sure they can be entertaining and good for the fans, but other then a bunch of action scenes all you really find out is how they managed to make bullshit out of nothing enough to give their wallets an extra inch in diameter.
