You could apply this kind of logic to many things...
I haven't seen it yet. I wasnt able to make it to a theater. I heard it wasnt good but fans seemed to like it more than critics. You both have given me hope. I need to watch all three back to back. Looking forward to it.
I ask myself (around 1/4 into the running time) if I'm feeling attachment to the show or not? Is it important that I finish the movie? (It's a bad sign that the question merely arises) If not, then I'll stop and look for something better. Unlike Roger Ebert, I don't have to watch the last reel.
Movies are on hard drive mostly now. Reels are very rare and probably nonexistent at this point. So maybe we need to say watching the last digital byte. Lol
It’s very possible David Warner was too busy when the bonus features for Tron were recorded. He seemed to be constantly working. Beyond big movies and tv he was in a lot of low budget films too. Plus work in theater. I might be wrong but I do not remember him doing bonus features for Time Bandits or Time After Time either. Will have to check. Some actors prefer the work to speak for itself. Baffled by Tron does not surprise me. It’s such an odd niche thing it’s amazing we got three Movies at all.
So I finally saw this
Hoooo boy
Basically I feel I need to rewatch Tron Legacy again to remind me how great Tron can be
Jared Leto is just......not great, like it might be time to say he peaked in Requiem For a Dream
I think they spent all their SFX money on like two scenes (ie when the Reconizer is constructed IRL and starts flying in the city). I admit, those 2 scenes were very good and cool to look at and captured the Tron spirit very well
The rest of the SFX is absolute fucking garbage, like Sharknado level bad
I don't know, maybe Tron Legacy set the bar so high, but everything on the grid felt like a huge letdown in his movie
It was cool to see original Tron in there, nostalgia is easy though
The villain Dillinger was bad. Comically bad. A spoiled little brat
Reznor's music was ok at times, but just didn't come close to what Daft Punk put together. Tough act to follow though
I've got a few more complaints, but mainly my biggest is there's times where this supposed big budget, blockbuster movie just felt like a D grade afterthought
There's this scene at the end where the woman gets a postcard from Jared Leto's character and Jared Leto narrates what he writes in the postcard. The funny thing is he goes on for like 5 minutes, there's no fucking way you can fit all that on a postcard my dude

Light cycles on the streets that was a bit stupid too
Bullshit.
Use a 3x5 card for notes you can use on a test and you'll see how small you can write.
I guess I was the only one who enjoyed doing such scenes with toys as a young man.
Well this one killed any hope of a fourth installment.
It is what it is I guess.
It is what it is I guess.
I guess you hated Traveling Matt's postcards in Fraggle Rock, too.
Have you met Hollywood?
That is true. Things do happen from time to time but I think Disney has been hurt financially one too many times with some franchises
Turns out the original plan was to bring back Cillian Murphy as Ed Jr. and become the new Sark. There was even conceptual art created to lure Murphy into returning. But, alas, he turned it down.
Well I kind of like the movie after a second run
I finally saw it a couple of weeks ago. I enjoyed it for what it was, which was never going to be hugely cerebral, just a fun popcorn flick. (Long time fan of the previous two movies FWIW.) The only downside for me was that the entire plot resolution was blatantly obvious from the beginning, but it was fun to be along for the ride. Grading wise, I'd give it a B-, same as the original (which I first saw on VHS in 1982). Legacy I'm putting at an A.
