I think the Tron sequel is going to be great. It has a better chance of being true to the source material than, say GI Joe.

The special effects have gone so much bigger and better since Tron was released, and I think that this will benefit the movie.

I'm not really excited, yet, because the release date is still too far away. When the release date gets closer (and pinned down) I think I'll start to get more excited.

I may also try to not get my hopes up too high for this. I was so into the hype for the first Spider-Man movie that, when I saw it, I was a little disappointed. Same for Watchmen. I really didn't like a lot of parts in Watchmen because I had seen all the "making of" previews, interviews with the director, behind-the scenes featurettes, that it presented a much more awesome picture than it wound up being. Still pretty good, but not great.

Then again, I look at that pic of the light cycle and I start mentally drooling.

Oh, boy, now I'm in trouble. That looks beautiful. Impending geekgasm.
