Generally speaking I don't like prequels. They never REALLY tell us anything we didn't already know. Has anyone ever really seen a prequel that made you go "Ooooh! Now I see why or how such and such happened..."? I cant really think of one.
Temple of Doom is only a prequel in that its set before Raiders, but really it could have been told after and it wouldn't change a thing. They just did that to suggest that Indy has had many adventures throughout his life.
And Godfather 2 is not a prequel but rather flashbacks, which may be the only example that comes close to being a "prequel" if you will, that even comes close to truly illuminating previous events that matter to the present day story.
Personally I prefer when a story moves forward, not backward.
