The new movie looks kind of cool to me. But then again I'm a Jeff Bridges fan. I remember trying to watch the first one as a kid and thinking it was pretty boring, though.
I'm not really a Tron fan or anything, but I recently re-watched the original, and understood it much better than when I was a kid. You kind of have to understand computer logic and computer programming (but only at a basic level) to get it.
And 30 years ago, I definitely did not understand that.
I'll probably wait for the reviews on the new Tron though.

Ha! I see what you did there!
I re-watched Tron a few weeks ago, and it was...cute. Not bad, not brilliant, just...cute. Not a bad way to spend an hour and a half on a Saturday, anyhow.
That being said, its premise carries the potential for some really interesting science fiction and social commentary, and it's that potential (plus the promise of some amazing visual effects) that has me looking forward to the sequel.

Despite loving the books, and having seen all the movies 'til now, I just don't really care that much whether or not I see the last two Harry Potter movies.

I can like a movie on its potential alone, even if its execution fails. Just as long as it gets my mind gears a-going and I can envision what they meant to do or what they should have done, I can enjoy it.
