Tron meh-age

[daddytodd]

Ok, so I was already in my 20's when Tron was released. I thought it had some cool graphix, but sucked as, you know, a narrative. I haven't thought about it in decades. Those were pretty good decades.

Now the belated sequel is coming, and the entirety of Beardom seems to be squeeing in unison. I couldn't possibly be more "meh" about the prospect of a Tron sequel.

Is it an age thing? What am I missing here? Why is Tron Legacy the bear equivalent of a new Twilight movie?

Count me in as excited. The original used computers and the whole new "Computers Will Take Over The World" paranoia (see also Terminator) in a method that was original and originally presented. The story was not all that original. But then (as Furr already pointed out), neither was Star Wars, a movie I also loved.

I do like the facts previously stated (no hiding the 30 years that have passed, bring Bridges and Boxleitner back, etc). So yeah, I am excited. More so than any of the current TV series rip offs or toy game movies (Rock'em Sock'em Robots? That is the best you've got?).
