Three very different films

I watched three movies over the course of the last two days.  Here is my brief summation of each film:

Tron Legacy:  Dumb and fun.  Kind of like the girl you are willing to date but never get serious with.

The Social Network: You leave the theater wondering if Zuckerberg has Asperger's Syndrome or is simply a jerk (the last line of the film seems to imply the latter, but it was a stinker of a last line and I remain unconvinced).  You also find yourself wishing that real life dialogue was as bristling and witty as Aaron Sorkin envisions.  But that happens with every Sorkin script. 

The King's Speech:  The Karate Kid meets speech therapy.  I am fairly certain that the real King George VI was not this funny nor this pathetic. 

For the record, I thought The Social Network and The King's Speech were outstanding, and Tron Legacy was a suitable afternoon diversion.
