Is the original tron any good? I've read that it sucked even in some gaming publications.

Tron is to 1982 what Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow was to 2003; an experiment in filmmaking that is roundly trounced by critics and audiences on initial release, but gains a rabid core of fans who appreciate it for what it is: a fascinating piece of visual storytelling where style frequently trumps substance, but in such a way as to be engrossing.

Troy - for all your Trojan needs
Time
My biggest problem with Troy was its attempt to demythologise a myth. HELLO? Verisimilitude is all good and fine, but a movie like this needs a little mythology to keep the viewers engaged. It's like Joel Schumacher's inability to acknowledge the inherent campiness in Phantom of the Opera; it needs that campiness to keep the audience involved in the movie. All the successful musicals of the last few years (Chicago, Moulin Rouge) have done this; why should mythology be any different?
