Disney has tried translate its animated magic to a lot of live-action fantasies over the years. The Tron movies are emblematic of their failures.

I love the IP and the original movie. I thought the second movie was better than I expected, but still not as good as it could have been. Tron's not even in this one, which seems like such a stupid, unnecessary thing to do. I'll watch it eventually and probably think it's OK, but I'm not going to spend any money on it.

He wasn’t really in the second one either.
