I absolutely adore it. This new one looks so useless. So it's about the "Sweeds." If ever there was a story dying to be told! It's a total remake masquerading as a prequel. It even has the same title. It looks exactly the same.<br /><br />There is a way to reboot/remake things. Carpenter's movie is a prime example of that way. And I think Disney did it the right way with Tron. This just looks like a total rehash.<br /><br />That said, I do like the cast, and I have heard they are making efforts to utilize practical effects. Ya never know. I'll check it out at some point, but likely not in theaters.JediRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02795767540917303808noreply@blogger.com
