COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Pretty Fun submitted by drouhardte on June 18, 2011, 7:38am Despite being a fan of the original, and participating in the ARG for the release of Legacy, I was torn about seeing this in the theaters. I avoided it because I was worried it I would be disappointed.

I'm not disappointed. No, it's not a Sorkin-esque masterpiece of character and dialogue. But it is quite a bit of fun and is a nice contrast to Scott Pilgrim v. the World (a favorite in this household) as far as interpretations of gaming worlds manifested go. There's the right amount of homage to the original film to make us original fans appreciate being old-timers, and enough hipper, younger flashiness to satisfy the noobs. I'm glad I (finally) watched it.

Fun, Light on Substance submitted by Meginator on June 23, 2011, 9:04am I was kind of bummed not to bee able to see Tron: Legacy in 3D, and having seen it on my old living room TV reinforced this notion. Though I am not a fan of runaway computer graphics, the special effects team behind this movie was absolutely astounding. The effects worked seamlessly for me, and the costumes and scenery serve as an effective, flashy showcase of the ability of modern technology to enhance live action without needing to overwhelm. That said, however, I felt that the plot resembled, at times, a fine Swiss cheese. Homages to the original (a now-he's-resurrected-now-he's-not Tron yelling, "I fight for users!") are appreciated but often feel out of place, present only for a bit of cache with those in the know. The Deeper Meaning was inevitable for a science fiction film dealing with cyberspace, but I expected a bit more intellectual entanglement, even for a flashy action film. Tron: Legacy certainly makes overtures toward a deeper sensibility, but ultimately fails to engage its ideas in a meaningful way. Despite this, however, the movie is fun, if a bit confusing, and is well worth its two hours.

good submitted by jnfaro on June 27, 2011, 8:32am I'm happy with this Tron. The original was just depressing to watch. It's a fun movie to see and has lots of action. The light bikes were just done amazingly and the same with the costumes.

Sweet! submitted by TripleH123 on June 27, 2011, 5:25pm This is a sweet movie that takes you on an adventure of a lifetime!

great movie! submitted by codyson159 on July 9, 2011, 4:14pm almost as good as the original

GOOD MOVIE but... submitted by drewy234432 on July 10, 2011, 10:03am I thought this was a great movie. The only thing I didn't like about it was that they changed something that the first movie had that i liked. Overall it was a great movie and would recommend it to anyone who likes action movies.

Good submitted by ColeenT on July 10, 2011, 7:45pm It was a good movie. I really enjoyed it

Good submitted by Chris82 on July 30, 2011, 11:47pm I never saw the original or knew much about it so I was expecting to be completely lost for this movie. Fortunately I wasn't, it was a pretty good action movie and was very fun to watch.

good movie submitted by jszchen on August 23, 2011, 11:35pm I liked this better than the 1st tron

Spectacle! submitted by markwells on August 28, 2011, 11:20am The first Tron scored big with its originality and visual effects as we got an idea of what a cyber world might be like. Tron Legacy was fun to watch because of how much the visual effects in movies have evolved. I just wish the plot was more "user" friendly.

Great And Fun submitted by tshapla on March 5, 2013, 5:47pm This Movie Has A lot of Battle and i do not know why,
other than that, this movie is really good

Great Effects submitted by crazypockets on June 16, 2013, 1:05pm I think this movie is best seen on the IMAX 3D screen, so it doesn't translate as well to a tiny movie screen. But it's still worth checking out just for the fun of it. The soundtrack is GREAT, Jeff Bridges is his usual wonderful self, and the effects are beautiful and fun. When I saw this in the theater, I thought, "This is what the 80s wanted to do but couldn't."

Solid sequel submitted by beeniepie on August 11, 2013, 3:16pm This was a solid sequel. The lead could have delivered a stronger performance, but Jeff Bridges delivers.

Fun family friendly submitted by KSB2013 on June 20, 2014, 2:58pm Fun family friendly.

Interesting concepts and action packed

Great movie! submitted by pixel gamer 3000 on June 26, 2014, 11:40am When I checked this out from the library and watched it, I loved it so much that i bought it! This movie has a great storyline for a single movie with no prequels or sequels, and if you love sci-fi movies and electronic music, this movie is a perfect fit.

Fun watch submitted by ishhewitt on July 14, 2016, 6:53pm Boring plot, but amazing music (thanks Daft Punk), fun, pretty visuals, and good action. Good film for kids too.

Fun Movie submitted by toschag on August 4, 2016, 7:05pm Lots of action, great visuals, and young Jeff Bridges looks really cool.

tron submitted by avrogers1 on August 12, 2017, 9:00pm This is an awesome movie. I has a great soundtrack and really well done characters and cgi!

Tron: Legacy submitted by SBNB on June 23, 2022, 12:59pm The movie's fine, but I love the soundtrack.

A lot to love submitted by PeachLily on August 10, 2022, 1:44pm This movie is definitely my guilty pleasure. I love the vibe of the universe they created. The typical bland white male protagonist is boring and unremarkable but so many other performances were incredible. They did a good job of keeping the soul of Syd Mead's original design while still making it look sleek and modern. And did you know, their suits actually had lights in them! It was revolutionary at the time and its part of the reason the lighting looks so real, because most of it is. Oh yeah and THE SOUNDTRACK. Debatably the most iconic part of this movie. Sooo good and it defined the vibe

Great Sequel submitted by MikkiMoscara on June 9, 2023, 10:58am I usually don't like sequels and TRON is one of my favorite movies. However, this sequel really nailed it. The scenes make you feel something, the graphics are great, and the concept is amazing. Highly recommended movie.
