Count me in the camp that didn't like it. For starters, $43 bucks to take myself and two kids for the 3D Imax presentation, WAS WAY TOO MUCH!
In fact I may never see another commercial 3D movie if theaters are going to provide cheap ass, grimey, scratched, glasses.
Besides a lot of ridiculous aspects of Tron Legacy, some of most glaring are:
1. EVERY character is totally accomplished at operating any piece of equipment, space ship, computer, etc.
2. The Zeus character is a total rip off of David Bowie's Ziggy Stardust, and pretty poorly done at that.
3. There just happens to be a "Disk Holder" that the bad guys can use for Jeff Bridges' disk, what great forethought!
4. Even though "The Portal" has only opened twice in history, every character seems to know how long it will stay open, or states, "it's closing soon". How would they know that?
5. The ending flight sequence is out of place in the movie, and poorly done.
6. The whole "Zen" or "Force" use by Bridge's character is idiotic and doesn't even work as a contrast to the regiment of the programming world.
I could go on, but suffice to say, it's going to take a lot more than one scene of Flynn's old arcade to go all nostalgic and say it was anything approaching a decent movie. It sucked and I'm sorry I wasted not only my money, but tainted my love of the franchise.
Jeezus, Jar Jar Binks would have been a step up from that crap. Hey, it's a fantasy movie, I get that, but I expect at least a modicum of cleaver screen writing and sticking to some formal tenets of whatever fantasy world the writers create. Characters just doing whatever, whenever, is stupid.
