I thought it was ok. I felt it made some common mistakes in prequels, which is to try to explain too much about what came later, instead of leaving some gaps. Also I thought the biggest mistake was to kill off Thandie Newton instead of Woody Harrelson. If those roles had swapped there would have been a much more interesting story being told.

This, this, this so much this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that was also the story I wanted!!!!!! (Actually, I agree with pretty much your whole comment, in fact, but I was literally just thinking last night about how much I wanted that story.)

It was so weird how they killed her off too, because it had no relevance to the plot. It was like the movie was missing scenes because she (and the other characters who dies) was just completely forgotten after she died. It was like they didn't want make her death to be just manpain fodder, and decided to fix it by not having her death have any efefct on the other characters (instead of, say, by not killing her in the first place).

And there's that.
