I’ll speak for Tron: Legacy.
It’s a bad sequel/remake, even from design standpoint.
In the original game movie, they have shown the computer world being different from ours: even the bikes were turning strictly right angles. It was cutting edge computer graphics, meaning it was a rough, low-poly look. But there was this unearthly shining showing us that the programs are alive with this strange kind of life.
In the sequel, they simply have glowing stripes glued to their suits. They don’t look like “program blood” shining through their skin. The patterns on the clothes don’t look like circuit boards anymore. The magic is gone. The otherworldliness is gone.
Logically, as old Tron have shown best in computer graphics in its days, new Tron should have shown best computer graphics of its time. But best computer graphics of nowadays doesn’t look like Tron at all. It looks like Avatar. So, yeah, probably Avatar is a better Tron sequel than Legacy.
Disclaimer: I haven’t seen Tron: Legacy or Avatar, but I’ve seen enough of those movies to draw those conclusions.
As for Robocop, yeah, I was pleasured to correctly guess what “tactical” would mean.
Now I call my new IKEA sofa cover “tactical”, to ease the psychological pressure of buying a black one only because it was the cheapest.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that the game Tron 2.0 was a better sequel, as it nicely expanded upon Tron’s idea of giving tangible representation of different computer-related terms in the computer world.
