It's a dumb movie with beautiful visuals and a great soundtrack based around a completely ridiculous concept that makes absolutely no sense under even the most basic scrutiny.

Much like the first film.


Also. Normally not a "go see it for the actors" kind of guy but holy shit Olivia Wilde. Also, Jeff Bridges as a bizzaro world Obi Wan Kenobi.
Geesh troll much?



Both movies where awesome. If you consider it was made in '82 the original Tron was quite well done, and still holds up to time.



I loved the seconed movie, the only problem I had was some continuity and story glitches but otehrwise very enjoyable.





Please explain how the concept of a Grid like world inside computers is ridiculous? Seeing as multipule other media has basically taken a cue from Tron and done some things simular, Reboot, Ghost in the Shell being a couple examples.

It's a classic case of a decent product being brought down by way more hype than was good for it. Most of the negative reviews for the movie are likely coming from people who were expecting this movie to be the second coming of Christ. It certainly isn't that good, but it isn't terrible like most reviews like to say, either.

A fantastic B movie of a B movie.

Its very much a TRON movie, down to the parts where TRON is yet again a minor character XD

as everyone has said already who reviewed the movie, its got a fantastic soundtrack. Daft Punk so totally found the TRON sound. It better win an Oscar for Best Original Soundtrack! cause i can't possible think of one more original this year :p

I actually really enjoyed Tron. Sure, the ending was a bit poo, but it's a Disney film. It also suffered from the "main character pwns all" disease, but, again, Disney film.

It was a good movie... if you like pretty lights, and ONLY pretty lights. And Daft Punk I guess.
You trying to say something bad about Daft Punk?! HUH?!

*Rolls up my sleeves* I shall not have you slander such a great band, we shall engage in fisticuffs. Have at thee good sir!
No, I was saying it's one of the good things about it, but like has been said before, if the main reason to see a movie is the soundtrack you've got problems. Buy the OST and skip the movie if you ask me.

I don't see the point in making a sequel targeting a demographic that is far too young to have understood or enjoyed the original. And if you're going to make a movie about a certain subject (e.g. computers) it's generally a good idea to act like you actually know something about that subject.

Quite good, and the title reminded me of the kickass song of the same name. I still have the bassline stuck in my head: da da da da DAA da, da da da da DAA da...

Also, maybe they're saving this for the sequel(s), but I would've liked to see humorous physical interpretations of various programs, i.e. Microsoft Word as a stressed-out writer or Games for Windows Live as an alcoholic, mentally ill homeless man.

I'm actually split. Tron: Legacy had a great soundtrack, but so did Inception. I'll prove it:

<youtube=imamcajBEJs>

EDIT: I loved the movie. No, I really did. Not my favourite movie ever (that title probably falls to Inception, although there may be some older ones I'm forgetting), but up there in the "great" zone. I liked the plot, I liked the characters more, I LOVED the aesthetic and soundtrack... but best of all was the way they didn't turn Sam Flynn and Quorra into a cheesy token romance. You just saw the beginnings of an attraction, and that was handled brilliantly subtly. Then again, I like most movies I see.

See if I was to choose the best track from Tron, I'd choose whichever one it was with what sounded like an electronic organ. And I don't know which track that was.

Still, we all know the best soundtrack in recent movies was the latest Star Trek (though that unfortunately doesn't qualify for "of the year" as it was in 2009). Best OST since Lord of the Rings.
