Tron: Legacy, Review

Seriously?
I don’t know what exactly is going on here, but i am becoming more confused by the day.
The movie was Tron: Legacy.
The chances of this film leaving a legacy are similar to the chances of a lightening bolt striking my dog’s i.d. tag on a summer afternoon.
The acting wasn’t bad at all, but the actors skill was smashed under the weight of poor dialogue and plot. The costumes were very plain, but i suppose that if you pin neon glow strips to the contours of tights and a leotard, all’s well that ends well. This film was treated like a budget-crunched disaster.
I can say that the 3D was intense, and well done to boot, but it was painfully obvious that they spent all their time on the special effects, and about ten minutes before breakfast on the plot and script. Which only shows that this film had great potential.
I guess what i want to know is, why can’t incredible plots and scripts be put together with incredible actors, sets, effects, etc.? Why are movies like Tron: Legacy allowed to escape and be integrated into the general public? Why can’t we write good dialogue, so that we don’t have to compensate by throwing in random and misplaced wisecracks?

EM rating: B-
EM final comment: we like the music, done by Daft Punk.


Fight on,
