10 Things That Must Be In Tron Legacy

What the sequel needs to honour - and avoid...

A Return To Flynn's Arcade

Kevin Flynn's (Jeff Bridges) '80s hangout - a bleeping neon, gaming cathedral crammed with kids and soundtracked by a rockin' jukebox - is one of the most important locations in the original, so surely there's a nod?

Again with the spoiler alert! The scene we were shown in San Diego sees Garrett Hedlund's Sam Flynn turning up at a dark and dusty Flynn's, only to kick the jukebox into gear and light up the machines.

Damned impressive. The '80s kid in us hopes the movie will kick off a second wave of 'amusement' arcade culture - 2010 is pretty much the 25th anniversary of the coin-op crash.

      I agree with you that the costume desperately needs to be reworked, but what they are presenting is just a motorcycle helmet and and a leather suit. There's nothing in the costume design that puts us back in the GRID. Hollywood is at an all-time low when it comes to production design. From Transformers, GI Joe, Crystal Skull, Phantom Menace... and the list goes on and on, the designs are forgettable and down right horrible. TRON might suffer from the same fate.

      Just nit-picking here but why on earth did you only give the original Tron 2 stars if you do indeed love it "with a passion" as you say? Those 2 tiny stars say otherwise you know . . . Sorry lol, I just couldn't help but wonder. I am looking forward to Tron Legacy rather a lot though. I watched the trailer and it just looks so damned cool doesn't it? Hope it lives up to the hype.
