What is so awful about the original?


They thought it deserved a sequel.


Okay, to give a real answer, the first one isn’t bad really, but not great. As a child I remembered watching parts of it whenever I came across them, but couldn’t remember the whole movie. When I rewatched it as an adult, I was surprised how fondly it’s remembered for the 20 minutes of good movie that was crammed into an hour and 20 minutes of tedious movie.


You're not alone. My only memory of the original was that it was boring and it never grabbed me in the years since, where other classics have.

Only watched Tron: Legacy because Olivia Wilde is hot.

Tron Legacy to me was like The Phantom Menance.

Meh film. Excellent Score.

I still listen to the music from both on my Playlist. Haven't seen either film in years (and don't plan to).

You're much more charitable to The Phantom Menace then I am, though I agree the score was Williams' usual excellence.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Phantom Menance gets better when you compare it to the convoluted and increasingly mentally deficient films that followed it.
