I hope they paid Jeff Bridges a kazillion dollars
. . .because Tron Legacy is crap. It’s hideous! Of course we knew it was doomed, I mean a sequel to Tron?? But this is even dumber than we expected. Visually it’s a tedious mishmash of bits ripped off from other movies, notably Star Wars: A New Hope. . .which came out even before Tron did!! As for the dialogue, bring earplugs.
We’re supposed to be impressed because the filmmakers digitally erased 20 years from Jeff Bridges but all we can say is, Put them baaaack! Better to add 20 years to Jeff Bridges that have him look like a plastic version of Miley Cyrus’s father the Achy Breaky Heart singer.
Kermit cringed when the otherwise dependable Michael Sheen turned up as the worst David Bowie impersonator in the history of wigs, and Chus howled at the topshot with diabolical laughter cliché. As for the futuristic technological stuff: They use discs!! And then the programs assemble and Clu (younger Jeff Bridges) gives them a big motivational speech—They’re programs!! They don’t need motivation!! In the first place his speech should’ve gone like this, 01010011101001 etc.
To compound our aggravation we realized that The Fighter had opened without our knowing and was showing next door aargh.
Tron: Just don’t.

Yikes! Good thing I read this. I was about to remind a friend that she wanted to watch this badly. (I didn’t, though.) And good friend that I am, I was supposed to accompany her. o_O I’ll just let her go all lazy (and crazy) at home and never mention Tron. Ya hear that, friend? ;)
