Yeah I typically have no hope for movie sequels made in the millenium, but we'll see.

That's not surprising, and frankly I can't blame people for being so jaded. Hollywood spends millions and millions of dollars on a movie and ends up producing crap. However, there's also the people who just like complaining. It's like they've become so used to seeing crap that they actually WANT crap.

However, I think TRON is going to be good. Why do I think that? Because I have faith in the writers (Lost...) and in their ability to make this movie work.

I actually want this movie to be good, and personally I think the concept (no offense to anyone) is so basic it's INCREDIBLY hard to f*ck up.

Hollywood will find a way though.

The most realistic prediction I can give is that this will be a mediocre to good (not great) movie with some decent special effects. People will complain about the redesign of the TRON suits or the lightcycles. They might also complain about the improper use of gaming technology and terminology in some scenes, and will most likely be appalled at the blatant advertising of some games, "a 2 hour videogame commerical".

That's just my prediction though.

Hopefully Armagetron gets a mention in the movie or at least a "nod" in its direction. hehe  :pray:

I know!!! I only happened upon it last year because my brother happened to find it while searching around online. I did have GL TRON, but that just doesn't compare to the awesomeness of Armagetron. Online gaming intensity.  :dance:
