Tron 3: 5 Do's and 5 Don'ts

5. Do - Make Tron More Central to the Plot

On a story level, my biggest complaint with Tron: Legacy is that its title character is demoted to a paltry supporting role instead of the hero he once was. While Rinzler (Tron's new identity after being put under the control of CLU) does have some fun moments, his character arc has no real weight. He's pretty much utilized just to be setup as a teaser for a third film. If the filmmakers are smart, they'll make sure Tron has way more to do in Tron: The Name of the Movie is TRON than just be kicked around from set-piece to set-piece. It'd be nicer to see him as a main character rather than Sam Flynn again.
