Yes, the film is at times extremely poorly written and acted, the third act doesn't work, and some things are just plain weird (the partial usage of the Inception score, Jeff Bridges talking like The Dude). But what a world it creates. The Grid is simply mesmerizing, and the film greatly takes advantage of the unique possibilities of its universe to create spectacular and breathtaking action sequences. And who can resist the retro-fabolous Daft Punk-soundtrack?

Pretty much an incredibly good-looking nerdtacular film with very little to no substance. But that's okay, because it never set out to try and be anything more than that. So what if the story is a lame biblical analogy? I was too busy having my mind blown by the Daft Punk Soundtrack and Special Effects. And So what if it lacked emotionally? I was far more concerned with exploring an incredibly fantastical world. Sometimes good escapism really is more important in films.

Overlong. Bad writing. Super-bland young actor. Moments of laughably over-done sentiment. Others of eyerollingly clumsy exposition. If you can overlook these many flaws, it's rather enjoyable. The score is cool, yet almost criminally derivative, and the women are pretty. So are the visuals (which couldn't exactly be said for the original 'Tron'!). I appreciated the exercise of creating a young Bridges. Oh, for the record, Jeff: If I want to spend time with the Dude, I'll put on The Big Lebowski.

It's pure visual spectacle. The plot is undoubtedly average and quite frankly it doesn't really make much sense but at least it wasn't cringeworthy and the movie as a whole exuded a certain kind of charm. Despite its shortcomings, I still found it to be an engaging (if unremarkable) experience.

The only thing good about this, is the somewhat cool computerworld, but it's only a matter of time before you get tired of watching neon lines... The script is horrible, therefore also the acting and whats up with Bridges turning into The Dude more than once? Overall... I liked the first half hour, after that it got boring and the film doent explain the world clearly enough which results in an indefferent attitude towards the whole film!

Proof that RottenTomatoes is full of it. An exiting thrill ride with a brain. Jeff Bridges is always awesome! A lot of critics dislike the implausibility of the Tron films, but they don't realize that the new-age techno-mysticism is what makes Tron such good science fantasy. I loved the way the system was imbued with the aspects of its creators in the first one, and I love the way this one contrasts a programmer "creating" life and life actually coming into being. Plus, Olivia Wilde is hot.

Yes there are some flaws (young CGI-Bridges, the final aerial battle) but when a movie looks (the computerworld just looks spectacular in every detail) and sounds (Daft Punk...enough said) as awesome as this one you just have to ignore those minor flaws. Make no mistake:in terms of CGI-Style over substance movies this one is lightyears ahead of dreck like Speed Racer, Star Wars(New Trilogy), Transformers and similar movies.

Well, for one, if you were impressed by the 3D in Avatar, you shouldn't hesitate. I haven't seen many 3D films but The Grid here is scaringly well made. The first hour is sublime, with a nice Gotham-like feeling and tension building up nicely. Then comes the part where you'll be blown away by the 3D. Then it just softens up too much, and you end up waiting for nothing else than the next 3D show-off. Still, a great tribute to the good old Tron idea. Oh and best movie score 2010. Daft Punk ftw!

The first half or so is exhilarating stuff. Light cycles on the grid were insanely cool, Daft Punk score and cameo were very well utilized and Sheen was great in a supporting role. If only that was the whole adventure. Its quite anti-climatic, young Bridges isn't quite pulled off, old Bridges is an uneven character and the relationship arc will lead to obvious jokes. There were some aspects I loved but glaring flaws and questionable leaps of logic by some characters hold this back.

I admire the attempt to expand the TRON mythos, even if expanding the scope of the story occasionally makes things somewhat chatty and boring. ...okay, the story is a mess and full of logic holes, but at least they tried. Mainly the film is recommendable if only for some dazzling action sequences and gorgeous visuals, but it's not devoid of decent performances. Olivia Wilde is surprisingly good here, & of course Michael Sheen is watchable in anything. It's nothing special, but I had a good time.

Rides the wave of the original's cult status , alternating between tedious and arousing moments (love me some lightcycle scenes). Suffice to say, you can feel the makers gave it their best shot: the costumes are about as idiosyncratic as they come and Daft Punk's trippy, electrifying soundtrack perfectly befits the atmosphere, almost carrying the film single-handedly. Would've had a greater time had the script not been such a joke.

I love the original Tron, and this movie more than satisfied my want for a Tron sequel. The plot is strong enough in concept, but not particuarly well executed, and the script is bordering on mentally challenged. But none of this matters. "Legacy" is a visual masterpiece, with the perfect Daft Punk soundtrack. This movie pressed all my nerdy Tron buttons. In short; light-cycles = fucking awesomeness...

If anything then Daft punk, really good CGI and actors makes this movie worth a watch. Of all actors was G.Hedlund only disappointment since all others were nothing but great. Although the script isn't brilliant, there is ample references to other films. The worst I can say about movie is unused potential in 3D.

Great everything really. 3D, or lack thereof, was a nice touch, action was exciting(specially anything to do with motorcycles), soundtrack was kicking ass all over the place, references were not rare and well appreciated, Sheen created another memorable supporting character and, of course, the "I am not your father" line almost killed me. The Matrix meets Star Wars.

Tron: Legacy is a visually and audibly spectacular film however it's brought down gaping and easily fixable plot problems. How are the ISO's going to be able to give us new insight into religion, the universe and able to cure disease? We're told they can but the film never even brushes on how. Why did Flynn become corrupted? He just did, WELL THEN. Still it looks great with a fantastic soundtrack and Jeff Bridges as a hippie computer genius (who is spot on for the 80's) is entertaining.

Not highly likely to win many new converts, but for those who already like the original and want to see more, it satisfies. Wonderful visual evolution from Tron and the father/son story is touching. The CGI face they for Jeff Bridges is not perfect, but works well with just a few exceptions. I feel that they have bridged the uncanny valley here. The Daft Punk score is beautiful. It's very suggestive of the original but with plenty of today's newer sensibilities mixed in.

Yet again Hollywood hits a new low for too much money spend on incredibly dull nonsense. I mean, I'll believe pigs can fly if it's delivered in a just decently entertaining fashion - Tron Legacy is not. The charm, fun and sense of adventure ride from the original has been digitally replaced by 3D that's _not_ close to Avatar standards. On top of that Garrett Hedlund is such an uninteresting action hero, he' almost Sam Worthington-bad... On the upside? It contains the best ass on film in 2010(!)

Improves on the original in some respects but not where it counts most: the story. In that regard, it is similar insofar as it has no real interest in properly exploring the world it creates or the questions arising from it. Viewers seeking an impressive light show will undoubtedly find much to appreciate in this costly audio-visual spectacle, which assaults the senses from all possible angles. For the rest of us, it is style over substance and therefore another missed opportunity.

Silly as shit and the plot doesn't make a lick of sense.. just like the original. Jeff Bridges seems to be having a good ole' time in this sequel to his original camp fest. All the other actors seem to be showcasing their sexy tights but with little else to show for it. The electronic synth score and acid like visuals makes up for having to listen to the people speak. If you just look at it as a full length music video carried by CGI artists it makes everything much more enjoyable.

Color me fully surprised, but 'Tron: Legacy' is a total complete blast of sight and sound. Watching the original 1982 'Tron' pales in comparison to the digital landscape and technical wizardry of the newly updated cyberworld conjured up by some very talented filmmakers. The story serves just enough purpose to allow Garrett Hedlund and Jeff Bridges to carry us through an eye-popping fireworks show of total imagination. I had a lot of fun here, and I'm still shocked this movie even exists!

As much as I hated the updated Tron I was pleased they kept the 80s output, since the story went on from where the original Tron ended. It was a wise and logical decision to do. Like that, Tron was and still is with this sequel focused for minorities. Actually the plot of sequel followed pretty obediently the original's, even so that the motorcycle scene lasted way too short time.

A mess of good and bad elements. The lead man is absolutely boring, entirely uncharismatic, and overall a terrible actor. But Jeff Bridges does very well (duel performances, of sorts), Michael Sheen has a lot fun with his Bowie impression, and Olivia Wilde ... looks nice. But the overall problem/quality of the film is that it's so technically awesome, but doesn't quite have the effect that it should be having (keyword being 'quite').

Nice special effects and Daft Punk don't make up for what is a soulless movie. There's no real story here, just some vague premise to hang effects sequences on. Nothing that happens feels like it has any consequence, it's like they had a bunch of different ideas of what they wanted to do and instead of focusing on a few decided to just throw everything in regardless of whether it made sense or was necessary. A movie made to kick-start a franchise rather than tell a good story.

If you're going to sacrifice story at the expense of visual effects, those effects better be transcendent. T:L's come close, but outside of its driving, quasi-throwback Daft Punk score, this is the definition of a one-trick pony whose jaw-dropping visuals can't completely overcome the paper thin story and a blandly non-plussed leading man who isn't the least bit phased or inquisitive about waking up inside of an ACTUAL COMPUTER and who somehow has little trouble defeating its deadliest warriors.

You've got to admire a sci-fi/fantasy that commits to being a different world, with it's own rules that make sense to the characters even if they're a bit silly to you and I. CGI Bridges is a bit ropey, but Garrett Hedlund carries the peice well enough. Likewise Olivia Wilde continues to show a real variety in her character repertoire, playing a kick-ass heroine with an almost childlike personality. The whole show is stolen, however, by Michael Sheen's outrageous Thin White Duke impression.

Bridges' Flynn's semi-interesting, but Hedlund's impulsive rebel? Even teens would prefer a hero who took an utterly new universe less in stride, or was less instantly capable of competing against the most graceful of opponents in a disc competition even though we've never even seen him hold a Frisbee. Insights in2 this world r just as absent: there's a night club but what r the programs on break from? If 1/10 of the time spent on CGI was spent refining IDEAS this'd be more than great eye-candy

Touched on some themes that I didn't expect (genocide, what?), in some excellent ways, held true to the bread-and-butter of Tron (that being the visuals)... very good movie. Visually stunning, with a formulaic-but-well-executed story behind it, which is certainly not a bad thing. Sci-Fi can easily be fucked up, but they pulled it off quite superbly. There's wonk to the found in the characters' inter-relationships, but it's minor. CGI Bridges looked phenomenal. Plus, Olivia Wilde is delicious.

Proof not only that a sequel can be better, but that effects pictures needn't be crap! Jeff Bridges eats up the screen as the zen master Kevin Flynn, with marvellous turns from Garrett Hedlund, Michael Sheen and all the cast, while the director shows us exactly why CGI was invented! Daft Punk's score throws Wendy Carlos score for the original out of the window quite rightly, and all of these elements combine to make a masterpiece! 5 points deducted for CGI C.L.U. and narrative lulls, however.

Hit by all the ponderous MacGuffins and politics; Tron Legacy seems like a sword-and-sandals epic in disguise--with enslaved gladiators, coups, big speeches from emperors. And it's just as dry and flat as any others that have come out as of late. On the plus side there's Daft Punk's score, Chinese stress balls, Micheal Sheen letting loose, and Jeff Bridge's reading of the line: "...yeah."

After seeing this in IMAX 3D, it finally came to me that 3D is not always needed to be in every film. Tron Legacy was that film that shouldn't need the 3D viewing. No doubt the visuals were incredible. Scenery and cinematography grabbed my attention. Plus, it was hard to say which chick was hot. lol. The story, however, was plain, predictable, and not surprising (character-wise), especially the ending when Jeff Bridges's character acts like God showing his ultimate power at the last minute.

Disappointing at best. The plot makes absolutely no sense at all. The villain's character is the source of the major holes. He is a program designed to create a virtual world but can't himself write programs? Contradictions like these are common. He also has no motivation for leaving The Grid, which is the supposed source of tension in the film. Every aspect of this film's story has more holes than content, which could have easily been rectified with a new antagonist. I was expecting much more.

Not as innovative or charming as the first film, but it's still a pretty wonderful sight to behold, and one of the rare instances where the 3D feels right. The film lightly touches on some sort of existential ideas, but a more thoughtful script could've made things more intelligent and emotionally involving. Weakness of the script aside, I was drawn into the story and won over by the spectacle. It's flashy 'n' modern but it's still Tron.

You might want to give Disney the benefit of the doubt and not want to assume that their Tron remake was intended for children. Unfortunately, this is film is absolutely a serious Disney film basically made for boys (not that there's anything wrong with that) despite how slow the first bit is. The story and script just cannot be taken seriously by any adult, despite being relentlessly serious. Visually though, it might be worth seeing. At least, it would be if you were a kid.
