As we start the summer season, studios begin trotting out the biggest of their big releases – the sequels. Last summer, sequels in the Indiana Jones, Batman, The Mummy and Hellboy franchises all descended on the multiplex and this year, a new Harry Potter, Transformers, and Night and the Museum attempt to make their mark. But what to do when you’ve exhausted the sequel storylines? Take your box office ball and go home? No, you do what the creators of the X-Men franchise are doing on May 1 with the release of X-Men Origins: Wolverine –a prequel! We pose the question, is it worth asking “how did it all start?”
