I'm glad I'm not the only person who think Sandler can't act. I have to disagree with Carrey. The Truman Show and The Majestic were quite good.

Sandler is funny, but he hasn't made a good movie in quite some time. You're also leaving out Man on the Moon for Carrey, that was an amazing movie.

He doesn't need to , happy madison makes enough money for him. But he has played the same character over and over again, the character has just gotten older.

It seems that the same people who didn't like the acting also describe the soundtrack as "cool" and effects as "ok" although most people agree on those two points. They just want to not like anything about the movie and antagonize it as much as possible. I personally found nothing bad about the acting, average at the worst, but since when has acting in a Sci Fi movie been much more than average. I think it has more to do with the genre/subject than it has to do with the acting itself. What is generally more believable, acting in a history piece, or a sci fi that takes place in a computer world? In a sci fi, you already have to suspend your disbelief.

Too right. I haven't heard a legit reason for disliking the movie to extremes that posters an viewers claim. If you went in with an appreciation for the original, this is a solid follow up.
I could say that Jimmy Stewart was a horrible actor as well because he overplayed everything. Brando couldn't sputter out a line without 20 minutes to do so. Gregory Peck was more boring that paint drying. Sure, I can call any bad. Was Sam a little wooden, maybe. What more would you want though? Shia? Tatum? Afflack? Seriously, what would make it much better without being over the top?

Something I haven't really seen mentioned here. But since most of the excitment for this film came from the internet, I wonder how much Tron Legacy was pirated. Check out this link. http://www.slashfilm.com/pirated-movie-2010/
According to Slash Film, Avatar was downloaded over 16 million times. Inception almost ten million times. The most important film on the list is Kick ______; which was downloaded 11 million times.
This numbers were posted just after Tron Came out. What happens if Tron Legacy turns out to be the most pirated film of the year? Think of all the money Disney would see they lost because people on the internet didnt want to pay the ticket price.

But waah, Tron Legacy was such a huge flop. I hated it which means everyone else hated it. No one knows what Tron is! No one liked the first movie anyways!

Not that I am doubting the potential for it happening...
but take note this teaser as stated in most of the articles I see was filmed in Thanksgiving, weeks before they knew how Tron really performed.
Just in case anyone's hopes shot up incredibly.

The Jim Hill article speculates that the trailer was leaked by Disney insiders to drum up support for Tron 3 since it was in danger of being shelved. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but what he's saying has the ring of truth to it.

That is believable. That is how cult followings work and how businesses work sometimes. Testing the waters maybe.
But it was filmed before the movie's release and when they had higher expectations for it. All I am saying.
According to the article, they definitely had higher domestic box office expectations, that's for sure. I also found it interesting that DVD sales/rentals were going to play such a substantial role in the greenlighting of Tron 3. I guess time will tell.....

He actually says that while the film underperformed domestically, it's foreign b.o. was even softer.
Once the film wasn't a smash out of the gate, I figured it would come down to either overseas, video or some third factor (merch). So the fact that they are now looking to video doesn't surprise me.
If the video sales aren't great (and just being #1 for a week isn't necessarily great), then I suspect Tron 3 will be scrapped. Although it's always possible the merch, cartoon or video sales could save it.
The main point is that the teaser posted by AICN really doesn't mean a whole lot with regards to the future of the film franchise.

Well said. And based on the fact that a lot of the movie's draw was to people spending more for Imax and 3D screens...I don't think home video sales for dvd will be through any roofs.

I was surprised to see The Black Hole's future dependent upon TRON as the two have nothing in common besides both being Disney sci-fi movies, but I guess it's the director's ability to make a successful sci-fi movie more than anything else that will give him the credibility to experiment with that property.
Still, Black Hole in concept isn't as confusing as TRON and shouldn't be hard for people to understand. The "only" trouble there is making a decent enough movie overall.

The first thing I thought when Tron underperformed was, "Well, Black Hole's in trouble now." I agree that story wise, they don't have much in common. But if you look at them as products rather than pieces of entertainment, they look the same.
They are both sci-fi concepts that a certain generation (mine) have some nostalgia for. Both were originally missed opportunities for Disney. Conventional wisdom is that if the execution had been better, either "Tron" or "The Black Hole" could have been a big hit for Disney. So Disney looks at them now and says, there's a built in audience. If we do these right, maybe we can sell it to a new generation and pull in the people who feel nostalgic for the original.
With Tron, that didn't exactly happen. My take is that it sold to a very small, passionate fan base and quite a few youngsters. But it didn't have the cross-generational appeal they were hoping for. The Black Hole is even older and more obscure than Tron. So, if Tron didn't succeed in being a tentpole movie, there's not a lot of reason to theink BH would be either.
Still, I'd like to see BH remade if they can do it better than the original.
