I thought it was a fun movie to just play with ideas and visuals. Oh yeah it was forced, contrived, and self indulgent... but that's what art is and that certainly what the first one was. You can't possible expect Tron to change everything. It's about light-cycles and frisbees with a plot somewhere in between.
@chalkshark: I only half agree with you. Yeah that would be a great turn for the franchise, but Eastwood isn't known for his blue-screen work. Maybe he would do everything with conventional effects! Maybe even a self cameo as Jor-El!
I was wondering if you could elaborate on why you feel this is one of the best. I say this only because i disagree, but not to discredit your opinion. I was just hoping you could present a compelling argument.
Wow! People can be amazing!
"They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be.
They only lack the light to show the way.
For this reason above all, their capacity for good, I have sent them you... my only son. "
