Saw it, loved it, but like most people said the story wasn't terribly great. However, even though it wasn't great, the art was beautiful. The action was also pretty awesome too, and the movie was such an improvement from the first movie obviously.

I'll admit, I never got around to seeing the original. I went to this with a totally open mind, and I thought it was pretty darned awesome. Story might not have been the best ever, but I didn't have any issues with it. And the movie itself was gorgeous. Loved the art style, and the designs of everything were awesome. Plus Daft Punk still rules- the soundtrack was extremely cool.
I like how some people thought Hans Zimmer wrote some of the music. He wrote zilch for this movie.
After seeing it a second time, I also think I've figured out why the computer metaphor went out the window: the Grid was designed as a place for programs to live, not really as a system to perform a task in the real world.
What was nice was they didn't try to force some bullshit technical explanation on us. The original didn't and it did just fine without it. Legacy is the same. Those details aren't necessary.
I also appreciate them not forcing a romance story down our throats. You catch a spark between them, but it doesn't go any further than that on-screen.

^ Like I said, Warsaw, that would have been fine if Sam hadn't bled on the Grid. Because of that, it makes a lot less sense.
Eh, I think of the bleeding like a piece of marker code that classifies a program as genuine or not. In this case, it marks him as a user as opposed to a program or an ISO.
