Regardless of the advertisements, this is definitely NOT a prequel.
Also, the story line pales in comparison to the original. I bet the producers went cheap and didn't rehire many of the original production crew. The screenplay for this flik is disjointed and doesn't allow the viewer to sympathize with the characters.
This film is a very weak attempt at cashing in on the original, very well done movie. The characters aren't given any depth and there's no back and forth timeline here.
It could have been a franchise (in the vein of Rauroni Kenshin), and the producers squandered a golden opportunity here.
