Bridges, similarly, is always going to be good, but he had nada to work with. Wilde added much-needed spark, by way of both her charming turn and ZOMG good looks/haircut/bodysuit (seriously - wow). But the whole thing was just *so* stranglingly self-important, and the world so poorly defined, that I just wasn't into it. I have no affinity for the original Tron, so I don't know if that would have helped any. I'd love to see the Legacy bluray playing on a big ol' wall-mounted plasma during a house party, but that's about it. (Also: when old Bridges said "Hours in here is just minutes out there!," wouldn't that mean, according to to that internal logic, that he'd be giving Methuselah a run for his shekels, age-wise?)Gerardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08968092979414616230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5013087903546244515.post-29991001642353987942010-12-16T09:23:58.931+00:002010-12-16T09:23:58.931+00:00It's not without its flaws, granted, but I don...It's not without its flaws, granted, but I don't get the vitriol being directed at it.<br /><br />Beautifully designed and shot.
