After Limp ‘Ares’ Opening, ‘Tron’ Remains in Franchise Limbo — The sci-fi series about digital worlds has become too big to be a truly “cult” series, yet not big enough to be a major cultural force (www.thewrap.com)

It’s not as brainy as the past films and tries to appeal to the multiplex masses

Once again by trying to appeal to everyone Hollywood and corporate America have appealed to no one. Congrats, you made a movie no one wanted to see. Old Tron fans saw you trying to make a bland corporate written sequel, and people who have never seen Tron see a bland action movie with no plot.

And with is "brainy" in this case? Do they mean plot? That is crazy smart people don't want to just explosions and that we want a plot?
