I totally agree. I remembered Tron as being interesting but boring, except for the light cycle race. I purchased the dvd last year when I heard about the new movie and watched it with my kids. All of us thought it was boring except for the light cycle race.
I WANTED it to be much better. Sometimes when you go back and view a film, it is better than you remember. Not for me with Tron.
None of that has dampened our absolute enthusiasm for the new film. We will be first in line.
I have heard recently that Disney is considering remaking The Black Hole. I remember that being a snooze until the final 1/3 of the movie. A couple of weeks ago I saw the DVD for sale. Hmmmmmmm.:hammer:

Why The Black Hole of all things?
The only good thing about that movie was the John Barry soundtrack.

The best thing about Tron was the arcade game -- four games in one! I liked the one trying to get past the cylinder wall best. The spider game was my second favorite, followed by the light cycles. The tank game was my least favorite, and you could always win that one by sitting next to the opening of the center and shooting directly throught it!
Anyone remember these?
(They really need to release this game for Playstation, Wii, etc.) I would love to find the arcade version again.
But the game was definitely better than the movie!

There is a reason they are not releasing Tron on BlueRay -- the movie graphics were interesting in 1982, but they would look AWFUL in high def today. Remember, this was early CGI, and it looks pretty bad.
In fact, the movie has been discontinued even on regular DVD (which is why it is selling for 49 bucks a pop for used versions on eBay).
Second, the movie wasn't a success when it came out. Some people loved it, most hated it. People have fonder memories of it than the actual movie. Parts of it were never fully completed and are just drawn in rather than computer animated. It's glaring when you watch it. Bruce Boxleitner's acting is virtually unwatchable. The movie has no ending (at least one that makes sense in context of the movie). I saw the movie one night in Greenwich Village before class at NYU when I was in Grad School, and it was just so awful.
Third, the last thing they want is for people to see Tron before the "sequel" (read: "remake") with modern CGI is released. I'm looking forward to it, and from all trailers, it already looks fantastic compared to the original.
