How come Star Wars gets a fuck ton of shitty sequels but the first TRON film in 15 years is a flop? I was waiting for this film since I was a child.

    My best friend was looking forward to the movie, until I asked him if Leto being Ares would change his opinion. He was no longer interested from that moment.

      Same with me. I somehow didn’t register him in the teaser. As soon as the second trailer came out and I saw him, I concluded I won’t even pirate this one.

      By the way, the NIN soundtrack is not good either. Quake’s is much better.

        As a NIN fan, it pains me to say you’re right. Having only heard it in the movie and not standalone, I’d say this was basically NIN’s “paint by numbers” soundtrack. Worse, it actually detracted from some scenes (somewhat specifically, the tracks with vocals).

        Of the 19 soundtracks I have by Trent Reznor (& Atticus Ross), I’d probably place this somewhere in the vicinity of #15 (I’d need to give them all a proper listen first though; I don’t really have a current ranking for them. Other than Quake probably being #1.)

      Jared Leto signed on in 2017. At the time, it made sense. It’s Disney’s fault for letting production stall for so long.

        Jared Leto was in active controversy the near entire time. The only reason it made sense to do, is because it was never going to remove him from the role.
