Yeah, the music was great. Listened to the soundtrack on a bus trip this past weekend, even. :)

Like how The Legend Of Zorro isn't actually about Zorro.
Not much like. At least that had Zorro training a new Zorro.
Tron Legacy doesn't even have to do with any legacy of Tron's. Flynn's Legacy would be the appropriate title.

Oh, well then, you're wrong - as the title had passed and it was "Zorro" in Legend.
That, and I didn't really think I'd need to point out how a guy going by the same name would qualify as "Legend" (especially to the populace he defends) whereas there was no "Legacy" that Tron the character passed on, and the actual Legacy was rather clearly tied to Flynn through his son and Clu...

Okay, I gave it a shot, but you're clearly correct.

I skipped "Legend of Zorro" anyway, even though I really liked "Mask of..."
But in my experience, putting "Legend of" in the title indicates a bad movie.
And putting those words into a Netflix search reinforces that notion....

Most people don't speak as kindly of it...

Okay then, bumped it to the top of the queue. It'll get it once I send back Someone to Watch Over Me.
