In the movie TRON, was TRON good or bad? and how about CLUE, was CLUE good or bad?
If the programming of themselves into a computer was just programming, how come the main character said they were not programs, numerous times, how were they in a computer/ digital world if they were not programed into it ?
Was Zeus good or bad, it seemed like he was bad, he gave away their disk and just made it harder for them to get to the portal on time?
 
on Phys.org
I never saw the original and I fell asleep during the second one
 
TRON was originally good, but then starts bad in the film and ends up remembering who 'he' is and becomes good to help them escape.

CLU is bad. He carried out a coup over Flynn to take over.

Zeus was a b*stard - he acted like a friend but lit up the tower to notify CLU they had arrived.

CLU attract the kid there to open the portal which he planned to use to send the programs out to the real world.

The original has more background information on how the new one works.
Harry potter was more boring than TRON though? agreed?
