This was lauded as a technical triumph over a quarter century ago; to my eyes the art design stood out, with the colour-coded programs battling on grids of light. However aside from the novel concept (going into a computer), the arcade game themes, the aforementioned design, and the dated special effects, the dialogue wasn't great and movie didn't

To people who have wanted to watch the original Tron movie before going to see the new one, I've been saying that it might ruin the new one for them because of the "it's not as good as the original" effect.

But from your review, it sounds like the newer movie is better. So those people have the right idea to watch the original one first.
