      <![CDATA[I thought the end of every sci-fi trailer was supposed to be frantic and vague.  That's how they get you to see the movie, so it's not so vague anymore.

      <![CDATA[I didn't say I hate it. I said it's awful.<br>
<br>
I like the original Tron. And I want this one to be good. So yeah, I've checked it out a few times. I actually thought it was semi-decent the first time I saw it. And then upon second viewing I was like, "Wait-a-minute that was terrible. Everyone is right!" And then I watched it again just to be sure.<br>
<br>
Pretty crazy, huh??

      <![CDATA[@Graham: Well, I agree with you there. I just listened to it again. I like it! But in the movie? nope nope. And I've seen the movie three times. Each time I watch it I'm like, "maybe it won't be so awful this time..." But it is! And the music is at the root of the awfulness. Or maybe not - maybe the music is just the globbed on, neon frosting on top of an already spoiled cake.<br>
<br>
So, my first comment could have been clearer.

      <![CDATA[Naw. You were just seduced by the Daft Punk brand. The music ruins the movie. It's overwrought and overbearing. I can enjoy the soundtrack on its own - but in the movie, it's all wrong.<br>
<br>
Thanks for attempting to have an opinion, though.

      <![CDATA[Hi Erik, the score for Tron: Legacy was awful. I cite it as the leading reason for the stinkiness of the movie. It sounded like a cheesy videogame; it was one-toned, did not fit the movie/setting, and basically instilled an "OKAY IT'S ACTIONTIME" campiness every 5 minutes that, in the end, served to suck all the real excitement out of the movie.
