Action Hero MoviesTron: Legacy is quite faithful to the original concept, even continuing with a lead role for Jeff Bridges while focusing more on his son. It’s got a similar storyline but has been upgraded to modern style in both special effects (great) and drama (irritating).
With strong-ish new cast members and upgraded effects, while staying true to the original cult classic theme, the producers have clearly taken this movie seriously, and I have done too: I rate it Bang Average which is a few levels better than the original (by today’s standards). What could be improved? Well the script was all over the place without ever much happening, which is a bit weak in a 2 hour movie. It’s more than watchable — it’s quite entertaining at times — but the plot is lacking; and the cast could be improved too, even though it wasn’t particularly weak.
