I'll keep this short and sweet, but Tron Legacy was by far the best film i've seen for a while. I liked the look, the style, the story, the music, the atmosphere, the effects, the acting, the casting...start, middle and ending. Jeff Bridges is always watchable and having the original Tron actor Bruce Boxleitner in it was a nice touch. The affection it gave to the first Tron film and the classic 80's feel it managed to still inject into this film was impressive. This along with Daft Punks score gave everything an edge.
My only negative, and why i couldn't quite give it a full 10/10 is that i felt the bike action was pretty slow and laboured. Not as thrilling as i'd have imagined. In fact the brief scenes of Flynn's son on a normal motorbike in the real world, seemed oddly faster and more action packed. Compared to the crafts and vehicles in for example the Star Wars films, they make the Tron bikes speed look in the same class as a Sinclair C5. Might seem picky but a lot of the advertisement and why i loved the original was the bikes. To end with the 3D wasn't really quite there. But i don't think the film suffered to much from it.
I hope they let us go to the Grid again for another film.
