1. Aftonbladet

4 / 5

2. Ciné

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Tron Legacy" takes a nostalgic leap back to the 1980s while constantly keeping its eyes fixed on the future as it maximizes the use of 3D technology to deliver a visually innovative film that entertains from start to finish if you're willing to overlook the fact that the script has some gaps that can't be explained either realistically or through the film's own invented logic.

3. Sydsvenskan

3 / 5

Translated from swedish: Despite its big budget spent on effects and animation, "Tron Legacy" isn't bad, but it's frustratingly hollow.

4. Game Reactor

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: One could naturally argue that "Tron Legacy" was never intended to be a showcase of dramaturgy or Oscar-worthy writing. But somewhere along the way, you always choose whether you want to write sharper dialogue, cast better actors, and craft a more solid story. It's a choice you always make, and it's a choice you always have to face the consequences of.

5. Kulturbloggen

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: The plot is predictable and I'm never surprised. The villains are just evil and the heroes just good. The film's highlight is the music, created by Daft Punk. As far as I'm concerned, the music could have dominated even more.

6. Uppsala Nya Tidning

2 / 5

Translated from swedish: The storytelling itself isn't Kosinski's strong suit either, and the story is weak. However, he can shine with CGI effects, architecture and design, well accompanied by pulsating Daft Punk beats.

7. Göteborgs-Posten

2 / 5

Translated from swedish: The new film is naturally far more technically advanced, but also somewhat bland with a pale Garrett Hedlund in the young hero role of Sam Flynn.

8. Expressen

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: One thing the creators have truly succeeded with is giving viewers the feeling of being visually immersed in another universe, like inside a high-budget video game. It features a black backdrop, slick neon details, and super-technological architecture and effects. With a bit less story, "Tron Legacy" could have become an experience - why not call it art - where music, sound, and visuals pulse together in an electronic orgy.

9. Moviezine

1 / 5

Translated from swedish: A film solely for, if even that, die-hard science fiction and computer nerds and possibly the few fans of the original film. It's stylish and Daft Punk's music provides a much-needed boost.

10. Folkbladet.nu

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: The only way for me to get through "Tron Legacy" was by finding some kind of zen-Buddhist acceptance. After fully accepting that I was stuck in the movie theater under these circumstances, I was able to find an inner peace that ultimately helped me endure the year's worst film.

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: The movie is too stupid to keep you awake and too loud to allow a moment's sleep.
