TBF, no Tron movie was ever good. Just a lot of nostalgia for 80s arcade games.

Even the original isn't really good, it was just the first what we would call CGI/Live Action integration.

Oh, I was definitely referring to the original. I saw it twice in the theater when it came out but it was still the equivalent of a made for tv movie at the time. Great visuals. Terrible, uneven storytelling.

The story was never good, but the vibes of Tron Legacy were impeccable, and I love it for that.

More solid than the original in a few ways.
