Elmofongo: Well everyone could not give the last movie a chance because of their rose tinted bias of the old movie.
I haven't seen the original and I still considered Legacy bad. I didn't even watch it till the end. And normally I ALWAYS watch movies till the end, no matter how much they stink. I was just ridiculously bored.

Eitot: it wasn’t as abstract and geeky as in the first one, more futuristic rather than ‘computery’ actually.

tinyE: Well said. Even thought they spent nothing on the effects for the 1st one and millions on the 2nd, I thought the first looked much more "multidimensional" as if they might actually be inside a computer. Legacy looked like a bunch of people in black glowing latex on a sound stage.
That has been a big problem with the sequel and with the animated series Tron: Uprising. It could have as well been placed on an alien planet or in the future o another dimension, anything really. The whole "were inside the computer thing" got lost somewhere. The disk fights and the lightcycles did not evoke the "video game" feelig either, the way they were done.

I thought the movie should have been about something like Clu using all of our profiles on in social media, our bank account data and all the other stuff we leave online to make his own copies of human beings, his army of fake "users" or something like that. Something that would be unique to the setting and also touch on contemporary themes.

As it was both Legacy and Uprising are basically an attempt by Disney to turn Tron into their Star Wars, with an evil empire taking over and everything. But now they bought the real thing, so they don't need what they Tron into anymore, and have no interest in actuall Tron. It's even kind of obvious that some of what they were doing with Tron morphed into Star Wars. We had animated Tron Uprising, and now we have Star Wars Rebels, both shows about the forming resistance against the newly established Empire, and a new guy being trained in the ways of the warrior.

cogadh: And TRON 2.0 the game, which is a far superior sequel to the original movie than Legacy ever was.
Absolutely. It's the best FPS I ever played, and a great sequel to Tron. If they just filmed that, it would probably be even better than the original movie.

InfraSuperman: I'm not sure about that. The estimated budget for it is 17 million dollars, almost the same as the estimated budget for The Empire Strikes Back; and the effects were pretty damn complex for those days.
I think it was the first movie to use CGI... that would have been mega-bucks for that time-period, if you factor in inflation.

Tron's story is slightly weak, but it's a movie you watch for the visuals and music, and because you love the 80's (which I do). I feel the first movie was trying to look slow and beautiful, while the new one was trying to be fast and look "cool,"

The second one had maybe two or three good songs (never understood everyone's obsession with Daft Punk), and it felt like people in latex suits, instead of anthropomorphized computer programs/hardware (where the original outfits showed circuit designs). It lost the computery-feel, and went for more conventional action-schlock, emphasized the most by the use of conventional explosives to blowup the club, and the mid-air shoot-out with the planes at the end.

InfraSuperman: Tron: Legacy was pretty successful when it came out. The cancellation appears to have more to do with the disappointing returns of Tomorrowland.
Curious... I actually really enjoyed Tron Legacy... It was a good throwback, although there were a lot of plot points that were loose and unexplained, although the game(s) are suppose to fill those holes in... Although a bit too much seemed to be attached to the old movie as a homage rather than actually being new...

Honestly i'd love to watch a third tron movie, hopefully with more new ideas.

If the game is meant to fill in the holes in Legacy, that's really terrible. Tron : Evolution is a worse game than Tron: Legacy was a bad movie.

Steam has it now and GOG/CDP already has a relationship with Disney, so it is not outside the realm of possibility for GOG to get it eventually.

Yeah, since GOG has a deal with LucasArts/Disney deal, it might be possible...

Well i played halfway through the game (evolution) and umm... it quickly got annoying mostly due to it's requirement for you to be super precise.

As a die-hard sci-fi fan, this saddens me.

I don't think Tomorrowland has affected this one, Lone Survivor flopped and it didn't cause any sort of cancellations, Disney has loads of money to invest, for each movie which flop, 5 will succeed.

Probably was for creative issues as usual.

See ya Tron, you were a great film, I was looking forward to seeing you.

Fek you disney.

If they coudn't get Daft Punk back to do the score it's better that the movie will not come out at all.

Honestly, I'd be fine with Daft Punk releasing a soundtrack for TRON 3 without there being TRON 3.
