Interesting reading other peoples opinions. Lot's of praise at the start, a slightly negative view from me and then scathing attack by crazytaxinext.

Yes, you turned the tide there. Worth noting that crazytaxinext wrote that he didn't hate it.

True, it's hardly a review they'd put on the dvd cover though is it?

And it's probably just me, but lightcycles that don't turn at right angles are rubbish.

This for me! And the son

->Open Spoiler<-

even takes his dad's 'classic' lightcycle which I was waiting for some right angle pwnage of the new ones

, but I guess the old can't be seen to be better than the new...

Yeah I didn't hate it but it just surprised me that for a film that was three years in the making and had drafted in the likes of Pixar to consult on it the script could be so daft at times. I guess that's the trouble with these perfect world things, like

->Open Spoiler<-

when they fly directly up in the climax causing Tron and their own planes to stall... there's no air, why would that work?

. I think it just needed to forego attempts at making the franchise a family friendly mega-blockbuster and fully embrace the ideas behind it. A grid goes network could be ok too.

Well now you're arguing logic points on a film about people going inside a computer and all the programmes being people. Gravity played a part in the first movie too. That's not a green light for any and all plot holes but, nevertheless, the entire concept requires a massive leap. We know programmes are not people and don't have personalities. We know they don't play games by themselves. We also know they would have absolutely no need for Blade Runner umbrellas.

So you either accept that idea (and that includes gravity) or not but, if not, both movies fall apart. Though, that said, clearly more so the sequel. The sequel is harder to see as a working computer.

Edit: Though, just thinking about what I wrote,

->Open Spoiler<-

the computers in the first film were working computers as part of a network system that seemed to involve all kinds of research and gaming. They had to work as computers. The system in the sequel, on the other hand, was a completely closed system with no other purpose seemingly than creating this world itself. They just had to exist and the aim was to give them intelligence. So it makes sense that it was more of a world and less of a computer system.

[Neon Ignition]

Which is fair enough, I can accept that set up for the logistics of the Grid. Sadly, it still leaves Flynn's stupidity

[Dogg Thang]

Well that can be explained easily. It's just that he's

->Open Spoiler<-

stupid.

Tron survives!

They talk of a very definite story arch for the animated Tron: Uprising and a decent cast list too including the Box-master

[Dogg Thang]

Interesting. I don't need this. No more than I needed the Droids animated series back in the Star Wars days. Still, I'll be curious and will have to check it out when it airs. Will be interesting to see if they tie the look into the original at all. There's nothing in Legacy to suggest they will but, well, if it were me, I would.

On the Ghostbusters commentary track, Harold Ramis says they slowly increased the suspension of disbelief so that by the time a giant marshmallow man was walking through New York, people were saying it was unrealistic that all of the Ghostbusters would be covered in marshmallow except for Venkman, who has a small blob on him.

They were pleased that they'd done their job if people weren't scoffing at the notion of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man, but at Venkman's cleanliness..

Maybe this film suffers from throwing too much at you in one go? Having seen the original film recently, it struck me as a digital Wizard of Oz with little elements added a bit at a time.

I still want to see the sequel in 3D at the cinema at some point though!

[anephric]

I'm as fanboy-ey a Tron fan as you can get, and there are things that bugged me about Legacy, but I was soooo washed away by the fact that they MADE A SEQUEL TO TRON which I still remember watching in the cinema when I was about 7 that I didn't care less. The fact that it's actually not bad as well is a bonus. But yeah, I don't understand, if they had the assets for a young Tron/Boxleitner (and they'd obviously modelled him to a fairly high standard, you can see that from the flashbacks, maybe not to a CLU level of fidelity, but still) WHY didn't they do a reveal for THAT shot? It makes no sense, and it would've been the ultimate bit of fanservice.

Would he have aged the same as Jeff's character or was Tron a program too like CLU? I never made it through the first one without nodding out...I used to be a heroin addict back then mind you...

Indeed Tron was a program so presume he would be as fresh faced as ever.

They shouldve got the chick back too.

I had always thought that was one of the jokes :/

[Dogg Thang]

I saw this again and loved it even more the second time. But that's not why I'm posting. I'm posting with a heads-up for those with children - in spite of this being Disney's latest blockbuster, the latest Disney on Ice show features absolutely NO Tron on ice.

Very disappointing.
