I remember LOVING this movie as a kids. It has such an awesome look and the lighting and the cool motorcycle things and those frisbees..... Re-watching this as an adult made me realize that most of that makes up for about 2 % of the movie.... (ok so just the cycles and the frisbees, but those were the COOLEST part as a kid). *sigh* I was very sad to find out that Tron is actually a kind of boring movie. It is always fun to see actors that you know in their earlier movies. Jeff Bridges was so young that he was almost unrecognizable. Then he'd speak and his voice and delivery make you go "ah, there he is..." I don't really know what to say about this movie. I just thought it was kind of slow and boring. It was however, super cool to look at with all the dark lighting and the lights on their costumes and stuff. Awesomely 80s. C
