Reviews

[Mega · Rating 3 out of 5]

You know what, I didn't think it would be possible, but somehow, these mad lads actually did it. They actually went and made the MCP somehow look even stupider than he does in the movie. I don't even know how they accomplished that, because if you have seen that thing for yourself, then you would know that is not a form of stupid you can easily topple. Well anyway though, this is the end of the series, so what is the moral lesson of the day? Well, that would be that no matter what angle or medium you tell your story in, sometimes it will still make no goddamn sense. That also applies here with Tron, since some of the confusing and rushed parts from the movie are just as confusing and rushed here. Then again, I guess why try to mess with what works.... Disney already does that enough as is.
