Tron is one of those movies whose reputation precedes itself. Like, you’ve probably heard of Tron, but do you actually remember *watching* Tron? Can you tell me *one* thing about the movie other than the fact that people get sucked into computers and ride shiny digital motorcycles around? Maybe I’m projecting my own stupidities on you, I don’t know, but when I think of Tron, I think of how much more I like the idea of Tron more than its actual execution.
Unbelievably, it’s actually been an entire decade since Tron: Legacy, the sequel to the original 1982 film, hit theaters. This was just as the modern landscape of comic book movie-making was beginning to take hold, so the film, which starred Garrett Hedlund, Olivia Wilde, and Jeff Bridges, sort of came and went without much of a fuss.
