Why do some people complain this movie is hard to follow?


With the release of the new Tron, I've been trying to show this movie around to friends who haven't seen it so they can see the new one and be caught up. The main complaint I hear is that the film is hard to follow.

Is straight forward, point A to point B story telling where everything is handed to the viewer on a silver platter too much for people nowadays? This is the furthest thing from a film where thought is required, and yet it seems to confuse people.

That's because it is

All hail the underdogs
All hail the new kids
All hail the outlaws
Spielbergs and Kubricks

When I was a kid, I watched it many times over and over again. I was too young to care, but no matter how many times I watched it, I could never understand anything.
