This week's Thursday Movie Picks is Prequels

We've done a couple of sequels themes for TMPs before and this is actually the first for prequels. I'm picking the ones I like.
X-Men: First Class (2011)
I love this. Just seeing how the school got started and the beginning of Professor X and Magneto's friendship. I also really like McAvoy and Fassbender in those roles, they have great chemistry.

Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011)
I have not seen the original nor the Time Burton remake, they just do not look like something that I would like, but I'm glad I saw this one. This is soo good.
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
Even though war is in the title of all the Star Wars movies, this is the one that has the look and feel of a war movie. Comes complete with beach landings and battles.

Okay, I'll admit I did not expect Rogue One to be such a popular choice. I kinda assumed that if we were going to see any Star Wars films it would be the prequel trilogy.
ReplyDeleteWe match on Rise! Excellent movie. I enjoyed Rogue One too...not a fan of First Class, unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the first 2 and enjoyed the X-Men like I always do whereas Planet of the Apes is brilliant. I have only seen the first film of the last ones made which is ok. I have to watch the rest.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I forgot about Rogue One.
ReplyDeleteI too picked First Class and Rogue One as I loved both. But Rise of the Planet of the Apes is the best one. Far superior than the original and the Burton remake.
ReplyDeleteWe match on Rogue One! I need to revisit the X-Men movies. There are ones I've missed and I don't even know which ones.
ReplyDeleteWe match with Rogue One, probably my favourite of all the Star Wars movies ( I can say this because I didn't grow up with the SW movies and only started watching them as an adult)
