  1. As a fan of the originals I loved it. I would even say its a reboot but also really it could take place anytime after Mad Max1 but sometime before 2? Though that might all change with the sequel green lit to this. Either way it was really well done and nice to see Miller still has the chops and then some!!

  2. The show ties into the movies. Hehe. Loved it when Coulson dropped the bomb that Fury was still alive and then his conversation with Hill.... Suck on that Adama! Skye showing off why she'll become one of the top Agents of Shield was great. Quake is coming!

    Yes that whole episode was GOLD!!! Good stuff.

  3. I just can't take this seriously. I maybe could have, given the source material, if not for Man of Steel. But because of it I can't get over the fact that this is another dark, gritty, and brooding Superman movie.

    Yeah I am not getting any good vibes from this but I also disliked MOS so take that into consideration. My favorite screen version of the DC characters was the stuff that BRUCE TIMM did at WB Animation from 91 Batman animated through the 20XX's Justice League/JL Unlimited. After that it seems to have gone to the crapper.

  4. Personally, I enjoy Tron more than Tron: Legacy, not just for nostalgic reasons, but because it's the overall superior finished product. Back in 1982, CGI effects were still in their infancy, so what you got in Tron was way ahead of its time. Even after 33 years, the light cycle scenes still look intense. The characters and storyline keep you attached to the film from beginning to end. And the music by Wendy Carlos, along with Journey, add to the digital environment.

    Tron: Legacy, on the other hand, feels phoned in. Given that computer technology has advanced over the past three decades, the producers attempted to create a more realistic looking Grid while catering to today's video game generation. Sure, the neon lights and vehicle designs look spectacular, but the action scenes just feel too predictable and slow-paced compared to the first film (and I'm not talking about the abuse of slow motion cinematography). The characters are uninteresting and Quorra is just there for eye candy. The storyline attempts to parallel geopolitics into a virtual world, but ends up being flat and overall uninteresting. If there is anything worth saving in this film, it's Daft Punk's outstanding soundtrack score, which mixes their techno flavor with sci-fi, action, and even spaghetti western orchestral music.

    I'm hoping that Disney brings the upcoming installment back to the roots of the first film while retaining the audio magic of Daft Punk.

    AGREED!!

    I was pretty let down by TRON 2. Where was the COLOR. Everything was GREEEYYYYYYY.
