The only prequels I recall seeing off hand are Star Wars 1-3 and the Hobbit.
Both suffer for different reasons.
Star Wars struggled to just try to fit the old story in with the newer older story. It was obviously concocted afterwards to fit in, and maintain as much Hollywood stereotyping and formula as possible. It's what Saturday Night Live would have come up with as a skit in 1984 after return of the jedi as basically a farce. Exactly the same.
The Hobbit was just sloppy. There were a few decent bits in it, but it looked like someone trying to cram a movie into a budget. Sloppy.
