    by judaspriestly

    I can't for the life of me understand why these Abrams' writers think they have to completely retool something that is already established. This movie better not be about that script that was released about a month ago or I think I will go completely apeshit! Why go through all the trouble of getting Jeff Bridges and Bruce Boxleitner to reprise their roles if this gonna be a rehash? I'm just saying...they better not screw this up!

    ominus they said the samething about the original TRON

    by orionsangels

    Critics destroyed it. Yet it's Legacy lives on. Like how I did that. Adding the Legacy there. I mean it became a cult classic. Scarface was the same, hated by critics in 83 and not a big box office hit. Yet today its considered one of Al Pacino's best movies. So even if TRON Legacy is bad. They'll always be someone who likes it.

    by alibyebyeessmob

    It indicates it is a sequel in a way more elegant than 2 or 2.0, and, as has been pointed out above me, it references legacy code (the legacy code of TRON as a program), and the legacy of TRON as a film.

    Brilliant.

    When this film comes out, it will be a HUGE flop. The vast majority of moviegoers don't care about "Tron". It's as memorable as "Scanners". I'm a geek... and it's on the bottom-end of nostalgia for me. Mark my words -- it will flop BIG TIME.

    3-D at theatre, yawn, so successful. Movie poster reminds me of Battlefield: Earth (we know how successful THAT motha' was; and, the 7+ foot tall creatures supposedly in the "Film whose title 'The Last Airbender' should own instead" to boot [!]).

    It will probably look like shit considering they are screening it in 3D. I really really want to see it badly though, but if it's just some blurry lines then fuck that. They have to release a trailer for this in the summer though. It's ridiculous how silent they've been about the film. I'm saying expect trailer in front of GI Joe. Since it's the last big film of the summer.

    'a terrifc CG toon' is not what I look for in movies.
    'James Cameron says Avatar is meant to make you think while you're enjoying it... That always makes me a little nervous... Early prediction: the thing that could sink this flick would be a pretentious, too-serious tone' This comment comes from a guy who's just seen 25 mins of it. It's not a particularly negative comment - but it's not exactly euphoric either. If this film was AWESOME then you'd think there would be hyperbole and euphoria in abundance, not downbeat realism.

    I think the TRON logo would benefit from a slight tapering off of the letter T stem whilst dovetailing into the base of the letter N culminating in a flaired tip at the end...thereby rendering the logo legit.

    Turd, i'm hoping for the best with AVATAR - but if there are CGI characters in it then I doubt they look 'utterly real'.
    We all know how technology progresses. Yes, the CG's gonna look a little more realistic than the films of last year - but only a 'little'. Don't expect miracles. The Navi will look like the Gungans version 2.0 - you will know they are CG, of that I am sure.

    Love the guys who comes up with that stuff. Same bullshit we get about Tintin: "not known enough in US of A, will flopp" or the Thor movie. It's that thinking that usually comes from money-hungry coke-snorting producers when they hack together a sequel/prequel or worse, a remake-redux-reimaginagion. With that kinda thinking we can never get an original idea movie, cause "no one knew about it before, so it will flopp".

There's nothing special about this, rather looks like a glowing Terminator 3-esque nightmare. The original had a unique and timeless look, almost mystical. I wish it was better. They can;t get the ligthcycles right. They look too real, too dimensional. What made them cool originally is that they look digital not real.

    So now everything is rendered photorealistically, but has neon tubes stapled to it? Perhaps I'm being naive, but I thought part of the Tron aesthetic was that it was *supposed* to look the way it did. I didn't think "the world inside the computer" was lacking gritty sidewalks and burnished metal because of a problem with EnCom's render farm. Ranting aside, I really want to love this.

    That's right..Tron and the Dude are going to make Avatar thier fucking cum slut bitch. After all the fan hype, and Cameron hizz bad self, and his Hollywood pals, fluffing everyone's nuts about Avatar, we find out is it basically as revolutionary as a cut scene in a HALO game.Tron WAS revolutionary...if somewhat overlooked...and although I was not looking forward to this...I gotta say I'm growing more interested in this new TRON with every new detail released, while the more I hear about AVATAR the less curious I am.

  • That they have to resort to renting out theatres to show fifteen minutes in order to get people excited? I know us geeks are all feeling the thing was going to fuck our eyeballs and all of that, but to the general moviegoer... they have NO IDEA what the fuck Avatar is. I asked five people today randomly just to see if the hype that is being felt by fanboys was real and no one that I asked knew a thing about it.
