reviews were not too kind to the original either, yet it has enjoyed a cult following.

let me say this:

TRON Legacy beat the living hell out of Transformers

I wasn't going to bother but reading your post John may just change my mind.

Its a good popcorn muncher.

I'm generally very critical of movies that i see, and i tend to take them a little seriously sometimes.

I felt like i got my money's worth with this one, though its not Shakespeare by any stretch

getting my money's worth at the box office is a rare feeling anymore it seems.

Twelve fully functional Tron motorbikes have been built by a specialised company, for public sale. They are licensed for regular traffic on American roads, though in Germany they would not get that permission, due to the stricter regulations over here. When I read this news two days ago, 8 of the bikes already were sold to fans and/or collectors.

I wonder what would happen if you cut someone off?

Way hey, 90 degree turns at a zillion miles an hour...pity I don't have the cash.

having waited almost 30 years for this sequel only the wife kept me out the line to see it last night. Tonights a different story, thanks for the review GR.

...I do see a hole in the plot- according to your description:

Quote:

Upon entering the old arcade, the younger Flynn finds it just as his father had left it, and after discovering his fathers old computer terminal, he accidentally sends himself into the digital world.

Flynn didn't enter the digital world from the arcade, he was 'kidnapped' in the laser test area at ENCOM by the MCP, a room the size of a warehouse. Unless Flynn figured out how to miniturize that room and stash it in his arcade between films I don't think his son would be able to enter the digital world as you describe.

...But that isn't going to stop me from seeing the film. I WILL miss Dillinger tho, "Those of you who fail to renounce their belief in the users will receive the standard substandard training"

Yeah well unless they do 90 degrees turns on a whim DO NOT WANT.

Hmm-K, finally saw Tron:Legacy in it's full IMAX glory, and yes the effects were beyond cool, but WTF happened to the story ? I can hardly wait to see it again just to figure out what CLU was trying to do, and to try to develop some feelings for the characters. I missed the old ID disks as the new ones weren't nearly as useful in combat but the facelift to the recognizers more than made up for it.

...and the lightcycles, WOW !

See it in IMAX if you can.

I suppose it would have to be better than the original. It still looks like a CGI fest. I predict it will be available "on demand" pretty fast.

That's a pretty high bar you are setting.

Watching my dog take a crap in the snow is better then the Transformers.

Good I fell asleep watching Transformers on tv

GoldenRivet · 12-18-10, 05:44 PM

See this prior post

to everyone else... my statement of "it beat the hell out of transformers" was sort of a joke. Transformers was meant for a different audience, and despite the fact that every human being i know HATES all the transformers movies that hasnt stopped the "crappiest movie series ever made" from grossing $1.5 BILLION with a third film in production...

someone likes em
