I'm the opposite of the author here. I loved the original Tron, I was bored out of my mind by the sequel (Legacy).
As far as I could tell in Legacy, Sam Flynn just shows up and has no reason to be any good at doing anything in the Tron universe, he just is. His father could have left his swanky cave and just done whatever it is he did, at any time ... to end the film. No rhyme or reason to anything.
Interestingly enough the author kinda describes the same problem in Ares, rules aren't clear why anything happens. It just does sometimes, except when it doesn't.
Ares isn't dong well, and Legacy did, but I kinda wonder if the emptiness of Legacy meant that anything next was dead on arrival. Fans already saw that, couldn't think of why they'd see it again if there's not much too it...
I feel that way. I liked Tron when it was in theaters, Tron Legacy just felt so... Sony with its weird sexless glowing eroticism. Definitely Legacy did not prime me to be interested in a new Tron movie.
