So, Tron Legacy: better effects, more elaborate and better-paced action sequences,¹ still pretty ridiculous.

I won't say it wasn't fun, though.

¹ Two things that feed off each other. I noticed in re-watching the original that the action sequences often felt like they were being held back by what the effects were capable of. This is not a problem in the new film.

It's been nigh on a decade since I last saw Tron. The passing of time has not made it noticeably less ridiculous.
