Why do people hate tron legacy

Another Tron with the same budget or more just couldn't be justified. At the time Tron was canceled in , Disney's release calendar for the next few years was already booked pretty solid with big tentpole releases like Cinderella, The Jungle Book, Beauty and the Beast, and a sequel to Tim Burton's take on Alice in Wonderland.

What's the common factor here? Not counting Marvel movies, Disney's live-action slate for the time being is almost exclusively remakes of its well-known animated movies. Mulan, The Little Mermaid, and Dumbo are also in the works. Trading on familiar and popular properties is not financially risky.

Tron, while a familiar brand, just doesn't fit in with this overall corporate strategy. The news that Disney had pulled the plug on a third Tron movie broke in May , immediately following the disappointing opening weekend of Tomorrowland.

Unlike the Tron movies, it was loosely based on a Disneyland attraction. Like Tron, it was less about the action and more about "big issues," like the power of technology to unite or divide, and what it truly means to be human. Seeing as how Disney also has a series of live-action remakes of animated movies, controls Marvel Studios, and releases the Star Wars movies, they have no need or patience for middling-performing action movies like Tomorrowland The plot of the third Tron, or Tron: Ascension: , was going to follow the the A.

Filming was set to begin in Vancouver, B. But Bruce Boxleitner, who'd been a part of both Tron films, was adamantly opposed to returning. I'm done with it," Boxleitner said. I would rather not just keep going. I guess they did not understand the movie. Even without our TRON fan bonus, those ratings are highly unfair.

So, what are the reasons for those reactions? Here is my guess. First , I think it is the extraordinary style. TRON is unique, it is dark, it is cold. However, it is unbeliebably beautiful in its architecture. You feel that Kosinski had a lot of architecture lessons before. Yet, the style might still be too different for the mass.

Second , it is the fact that this movie does NOT have action all over its minutes. 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. Some kid running away from robots or aliens. This is not the deal in T:L.

You have very cool characters, forced to go their way. Fourth , the characters are too cold. This is the only aspect I agree with the critics and audience. Sam and Kevin Flynn react too cold for not seeing eachother in 20 years. They're characters should have more emotional depth. Why not showing Sam being totally upset when he is back in reality. Or showing Bridges cry yes, this is what people expected Two very emotional moments could have helped.

This might be the lack of experience Kosinski have. He did not force the actors and the script to show warm character emotions in more scenes. The script left me cringing sometimes. Pacing and plot holes aside, it was a good movie and leaves the door open for a great one.

My classmates hate Tron Legacy. All they care about is Pokemon. I seem to be the only one who likes it in my class. Everytime I do something Tron, they just don't care. I don't know why. I don't know what the talk about plotholes comes from. The ISOs are explained, somehow. If you blame the logic, then you have to blame the logic in every other SciFi movie. They were dropped quickly, thats right, but they were "completed" with the genocide fact.

What other plot holes were there? I'Ve watched it 4 hours ago. I could not see any major ones. Most is explained or point-of-view. That is the major problem some people had with Inception, too. Everything was explained in the film but they did not pay full attention. I am What about the others? And beside some of he plot weaknesses, the overall film was great.

Perfect CGI beside Bridges face and wonderful actino sequences. Not overloaded like other SciFi films. RAM: If you watch the film on BluRay, the art style and the architecture is brilliant and outstanding. So many details. And the mass market sometimes is stupid, if I see a Transformers 2 making mn. I hope you agree with me in this last point.

I don't think there's general hate for Tron Legacy at all. In my experience it's been quite popular, and actual made a whole lot of new fans who never even watched Tron before seeing this film. The nerds and geekaratzi have hated on the film just as they hate on every single other thing that comes along.

But, they're very noisy and do their best to set the tone on the Internet and in youth culture, so perhaps they're making it seem as if the film is generally disliked. I don't think everyone hates it per-se. I liked it fine and I do tend to disagree with people who nitpick. Some people are way too nitpicky however. I kinda agree with the OP's slower action observation. I tend to like a lot of movies that take their time to set up things and don't blow it all away with CGI made eye gouging sessions P.

I also have an enormous attention span. This might of been part of the problem, I think. Maybe the "wonder" of the computer world was something the movie needed to draw everyone in. We are all too familiar with the ideas and concepts the original made popular, now that we knew these things, people didn't see the "magic" the computer world communicated in the original, when virtually no one was used to it.

I really don't know, It isn't completely hated, nerds just like to whine. I couldn't agree more. The "hip to hate" crowd in general just needs to go away. I hate it when a huge group of people decide to hate something based entirely on the fact that its popular.

Ram64 Wrote: People simply didn't like it. Hell, I didn't like it! The film just raised too many questions, had a subplot that didn't go anywhere, and didn't have the best writing in the world.

Now, I am still going to buy it on DVD, but the story isn't well crafted. But it is well TOLD. It makes the film entertaining, but not a masterpiece. It was okay, but not up to par. What subplot are you talking about? I agree.

The ISO's. Ignores for several minutes. It was dropped too quickly, and not enough attention was given to it. The comics and games were where a lot of that was. I think, when the timeline is taken into consideration, the ISOs were given an appropriate amount of time in the movie.

When taking the standard moviegoing audience into consideration, then yes, not enough time was given to focus on them. We needed a four hour film to get everything explained. And I wouldnt' have minded. I think the advance hype killed it. They made it out to be something fantastic and people were disappointed it wasn't all disk wars and the cycle races. Gee sorry, we need some story line here. And I loved the storyline, maybe because I loved Flynn from the first film and to see him old, I put myself in Sam's shoes.

Old, after years in exile and away from his son. What kind of life was that for a lively person like Flynn? And Tron's alteration. Sad cuz I loved Tron too. If you had to be invested to fully relate to this film,maybe that's why so many didn't like it.

It's one thing to see computer programmes get shattered into bits of glass-- they never felt "real" so it didn't phase her. But the hero of the film, the human father, sacrificing himself? That's an entirely different matter and should be highlighted.

In the 24 hours since we saw the film my daughter and I have had to have several serious discussions on why the son was unable to save his father and why the father thought it was worth it to die for his son. Adult Written by DiEx April 7, Tron was my inspiration to pursue computers I am a big fan of the original Tron and was excited that they made a sequel.

So I definitely went and watched the sequel. Only deals I have are the oversexuality of the women. Granted it was one or two teeny drops, but it seemed out of place. The ending was a little bit of a let down Although after I heard there will be a Tron 3, it made sense It also excited me again! PS: In the original, there was a love scene between Tron and Yuri. This caused a fight between the director and the editor! This title contains: Sexy stuff.

Had useful details 1. Adult Written by JrLohms August 26, Had useful details. Parent of a 9-year-old Written by Bobby G. July 21, The violence is all against video game characters which explode into glass when killed. Some mild language but nothing to worry about here really. Tron is a visually eye pleasing movie I agree completely with Common Sense on this one.

While the special effects are truly impressive, the story didn't have much depth and emotion. Plus, it was a little confusing. And this movie should be rated PG because while there is no blood or gore, the way that each person "disintegrates" when killed could be quite intense for younger kids.

This movie may not have the brightest story-telling like that of Star Wars, E. Adult Written by Dr3w November 9, What can I say? I loved this movie. Most of my teenage guy friends who saw this thought it was a really good movie as well. So, I was kind of surprised at all the flack this movie seems to be getting from critics and from many viewers. I don't know what exactly they're criticizing it for.

No, it's not as deep as say, Inception, but it's still an interesting and entertaining film with some positive messages about the relationship between a father and a son. Because of this movie, Garrett Hedlund has become one of my new favorite actors. I love his sarcastic wit and energetic bad-boy persona. The action scenes are cool and the musical score pulses with energy creating great excitement and tension. Jeff Bridges does a good job playing dual roles as the main-character's father and the bad-guy and Olivia Wilde makes for a cute romantic interest.

One of the biggest pluses for me was that I didn't have to feel guilty while watching this film. While it can be a little intense, for the most part, there was no graphic violence, extreme bad language, or sexual content in this movie.

When people get killed, they disintegrate into pixels without any blood or gore on display. There are a few h-words and some of the lady's outfits are a little tight for my taste, but overall, this was a clean film which stayed more or less within the confines of its PG rating. There is some strange spiritualism in it an odd mix of evolution and zen mysticism which I was a little uncomfortable with, but overall, nothing that a mature twelve year old couldn't handle with some discussion.

SUMMARY: A good clean adventure movie for parents who are looking for something to show their tweens on up that doesn't have graphic violence, sensuality, or bad language. This title contains: Positive Messages.
