Were The Prequels "Lackluster Blockbusters"?

Posted By Mike on May 12, 2008

As a build up to this year's summer movies, Sean Nelson at MSN Movies has listed a number of blockbuster movies that he considers "promised us greatness but gave us misery". All 3 prequels make the list and you can check it out here. Take it with a grain of salt for it's just one writer's opinion.
