This movie has a lot going for it and it is worth watching a few times. It has impressive action, cool special effects, a killer soundtrack, Jeff Bridges, Olivia Wilde, and Garrett Hedlund...but it is also flawed. In the original TRON, Bridges was a mischief maker who fell down a rabbit hole into the computer world and it was fun to see what the actor did when confronted with the strange games and gadgets. And with Bruce Boxleitner and Cindy Morgan, he had people to react to him as well. Garrett Hedlund (who plays Flynn's son in this sequel) just isn't as interesting, mainly because the script lets him down. He's just a lost soul who doesn't want to have anything to do with his father's company and for half the movie he doesn't seem very motivated to do anything other than survive. When he finally catches up with his father and teams up with the beguiling Quora, the story gets better but then it sinks into a lackluster father / son story where they confront the bad guy on a bridge.
Despite this, I think TRON Legacy is a pretty good film. It's more original than the superhero films Disney has been making lately. I just wish it had a slightly better story to tell.
