RE: Why does the world hate TRON Legacy?

People don't leave the theaters often here either, that I've seen (though I don't pay attention really to anyone leaving period, let alone which went to the bathroom/concession and which don't come back).

I guess to me it's not a respect thing...the filmmaker will never know.

What do you want? I'm busy.


Program, please!

When I went to see Thor a family of four left the theater mid way through and shortly after an couple who looked to be in their mid 60s left. I've never left a movie, no mater how bad it was. I want to give the movie a fair chance. Besides the last half is nearly always the best part. Especially, action and adventure movies.

As far as Transformers 3 goes, I enjoyed the 3D much more than Tron Legacy. Actually, me being a patriot, I liked the theme of the movie and the military kicking but in the end was just Hoo Ra! Some times you just have to kick but and stop the talk. Transformers 3 was that kind of a movie. My two favorite lines - Prime, "Your leaders will now understand. Decepticons (Terrorist?) will never leave your planet alone." and Prime, "Today, in the name of freedom, we take the battle to them." The movie did have some scene that seemed out of place. Like when Sam's ex-boss shows up wanting to box Bumblebee. Or why the flying decepticon blew his cover, shooting up the office. All in all it was what I expected and had fun watching it.

Maybe that's why I didn't enjoy Legacy as much, I was expecting more than what I got. But, like I've said in the past, I didn't hate Tron Legacy, I just felt it was an OK movie and not a great movie.

Now I know why I do not like Bay films. I hate this "NAVY IS GOOOD!!!! Military FTW!!" attitude of him and his movies. The american army just make shit in the world nowadays (and in the past as well). Look at the Iraq. They only wanted their oil, or how do you explain they were still in the country after Saddam Hussein was killed. Plus, they make fun of killing civilians, I saw the reports on CNN.
The whole world knows it, beside some americans.
If the military costs were not that high, America does have the highest military budget on earth, your wonderful country would not be nearly bankrupt.

Just my 2 cents and opinion on that, please do not take it personally.


The more I think about Legacy, the more I got the opinion it actually was what I expected. Good visuals - they surpassed my expectations in some sequences. The music by Daft Punk - what can I say. Masterpiece. Good action, which is also included, and a good story. Legacy's storyline was not perfect but well above average and when watching the film on DVD, the too dark backgrounds and the slow story parts vanished in my head because I did pay attention a lot more than in cinema.

Unfortunately, when having a look at how well T3 and HP7.2 is doing, I really doubt Disney will do a TRON 3. Though it is necessary for us, though TRON 3 might cost less than 150 million, though Disney seems to know what bugged people in Legacy (script) and let DiGilio write a new script. abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

The mid part is uncommonly calm, the father and son and flashback story sequences are very slow for the current ADHD generation. I mean, look at Blade Runner and now compare it to Transformers. Last one is non-stop-action without any brain. People like that, not the melancholy touch Legacy has. Unfortunately.

I think this is your best answer. TRON tries (since 1982) to be a great story (which I think it does) but I guess it doesn't have that "thing" that grabs the viewer. Like my GF, we saw it the Saturday it came out, and she couldn't sit still the movie bored the crap out of her but I was lovin' it (best movie I saw last year, I thought it was better than The Kings Speech, but better than True Grit is arguable.

My hopes for TRON 3.0 (My stupid gimmicky way of calling the 3rd installment), is there's more action, because The Grid is this beautiful universe with cool weapons, vehicles and all that jazz, but you really only see one scene with them. I'm not saying a Transformers movie, with action every 5 minutes (literally), but something that pushes the story, and the action keeps you in your seat... or at the edge of it.

Right. Because we don't use any of their oil.
http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1948787,00.htmlAnd my brother is in the army and they were putting there lives on the line in Iraq defending Iraqi citizens. Many died in the line of fire because of it. I've never heard of US soldiers ever making fun of killing civilians. And show me the reports on CNN where it was so. I know many soldiers and none of them find civilians dieing funny. The military is only 4.7% of the US budget.
Hardly the cause of our financial problems. And Federal taxes was originally created for military and basic government needs (president, congress, etc). It's all the social programs and special interest deals that are causing the mess. With wasteful spending like, $3,800,000 for the Old Tiger Stadium Conservancy; $1,900,000 for the Pleasure Beach water taxi service project; and $1,791,000 for swine odor and manure management research it's no wonder we're hurting. And these are just a few of thousands over the years. In 2009, 10,160 were added. Add these kinds of waste with the failing social programs and you have a huge mess. And CNN?! really?! I go to there website to check up on their coverage of an issue and they always have it one sided. I never see them get opinions from both sides on there web articles. And rarely do they ever get their facts strait. Welcome to the year 2011. The talking points you use aren't even used by the liberal media anymore, because they've been proven false.

Everything...

Tron fights for the Users, we fight for Liberty around the globe. Iraq was to be the "Key Stone" for the re-formation of Persia. In creating a free and U.S. protected Iraq, we have taken that away from them. All over the world, we support and protect those who hunger for Liberty. In Vietnam, we showed the Russians, and the world, that we would give blood for the cause of Liberty. There is a reason that no invading army has ever crossed our shores. Leave the protection of Liberty to the adults please. Thanks to DarthTronage for the rebuke.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

By "this" are you referring to walking out on movies or Transformers 3 or the latest political rant. As far as the political rant, I wouldn't have gone there if someone hadn't used the forum to start an anti-USA anti-military rant. And the Transformers 3 discussion ties in to what drew people to it more than Tron Legacy and comparing the two. Which led to walking out on movies (Tron, Transformers, etc.). I agree that those should have been at least 3 other topics. And, I definitely didn't want to go on a political debate but couldn't let that faults statement go unchallenged. I have family and friends who serve in the military and sacrifice a lot more than most of us ever will. I was very much considering staying silent, but slandering the military doesn't go over well with me.

This is just the opinion nearly the entire world beside the US have about their army. At least as far as I talked to international people. Germany stopped the "pulling people into the army for one year" program after finishing school this year. So our army will have 50% less soldiers. In my opinion, this is a good step.
No matter if other ones like it or work in the US or any other army.

So... Transformers to the billion, HP 7.2 to the billion, PotC4 to the billion.
I hope most of the TV-attendancebox users will watch TRON Uprising. Otherwise, I won't see any future to this amazing universe

Hate? Personally, I found it disapppointing. I liked it enough to still enjoy it though.

Instead of giving it to the new guy, it would have been cool if Disney had pulled a "T2", ie let Lisberger helm the project after all those years, like Cameron was able to with Terminator 2.

The new guy could've instead been the art director, DOP, or whatever. There are so many parts in Legacy where you see it and go yeah that's so typical of these "arthouse tv commercial" directors when they make movies.

Disney does not have good directors in its portfolio nowadays. That is the big problem.
And again: It was not Kosinskis fault the movie was disappointing for a lot of people. It was the story(-telling). So at least 50% of the disappointment go to the LOST boys. The best director cannot pull much out of a buggy story.

However, some can. Blomkamp proved it with D9. His story is very "small" and rather plays in a microcosm than in a parallel universe. It is not complex but really intense. Though he can pull the viewer into his world and keeps him fascinated, especially because the style of the film looks so real. BUT! I believe Blomkamp is not aware of what he was doing and that his film would become that good.

Ok, point goes to you, partly. However, Kosinski now has experience with TRON. In the interview wih Jay, he mentioned he is aware of the critics. So let this guy make Oblivion with Tom Cruise (great actor beside his belief) next and then see how much he develops from 2010 to 2013. Maybe he is the right director for TRON 3. If he proofs he learns from his faults (design over emotions is no good) and makes it better in his new films. order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

Frankly, I'd like to know how the "armchair generals" think that their "Liberty" is related to Tron: Legacy.

Honestly, if you guys have any supposed relation to the military, you ought to exercise a little OPSEC. Because if you don't think certain folks monitor forums for keywords, then you are fooling yourself. order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

LOL, dude you can't go through life living in fear. While that might be true, many soldiers post pictures and proudly show they are in the military. If they fearlessly and courageously protect me and my family, then I will fearlessly and courageously voice my support and admiration. And I will reject any slander. This life is temporary and goes by fast, I have no fear of death. You let terrorist silence you and they win. And when a terrorist attacks the family of a service member, it only strengthens the military's resolve.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill online

About Tron Legacy....

Currently over in Kuwait and the MWR building has DVD players the soldiers can check out, and there is a whole library of donated movies that they can chose from. Here lately I have walked in and generally always seen Tron Legacy on one of the screens.

What I like is how I keep walking in and they are on the light jet scene (which has over repeated watchings become my favorite scene.)

One night I walked in and there were three people watching Tron Legacy.

----

My thoughts on this, I think people see Tron Legacy as my dad did when we watched it. "Yeh, it was good." or "it was fun movie to watch."

Enjoyable, interesting, fun, even stunning in a few places. I've heard repeatedly "Good soundtrack".

I think it is one of those movies you can pop in when you aren't really thinking too hard about what to watch. Basically saying truthfully Tron Legacy is a above average, rewatchable movie.on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

Thank you, thank you. I've been checking the RedBoxes in my area after Legacy's release. I've noticed the Blu-ray is out most of the time. I think you are right, Tron: Legacy is very watchable and is still surprising lots of people, more so than most. I loaned my 3D Blu-Ray to my boss to play on hiss 7.1 surround sound and LED tv. He was blown away. Funny thing is, he hardly knew it existed. Needless to say, he ordered his own copy that weekend. Thank you for your post and dedicated service to this country.where to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

Good to hear. I was listening to a review of Cowboys & Aliens on the radio the other day, and of course with mention of Olivia Wilde they had to bring up T:L... or as the announcer said, "She was also in Tron: Legacy, the unwatchable." Unwatchable? Come on. Even if a person didn't like it, it was FAR from "unwatchable."

I had the DVD and replaced it with a Blu ray. Same player, same TV. However, I noticed that the sound quality on the Blu-Ray was really impressive.

Folks that think T:L is unwatchable probably hated the majority of movies that were worth more than just one summer of popcorn and mindless violence.

Sad, just sad. By the way, I love your quote from Dumont..."What do you want, I'm busy.". One of my faves from Tron.
