Give fans the Tron movie they want, without an actor they hate, and they might just go see it
That’s the thing, legacy was the perfect setup for a sequel, and they just dropped it.
That movie was cancelled and we need to get over the fact we will never see Sam and Qorra again. …
He’s the reason I didn’t go see it 🤷♂️
Same.
He was the worst thing about Bladerunner 2049.
NOTE: Ares died on the way back to his home planet.
“An infortunate training incident…”
Here’s a signed affidavit that we will never here about Ares ever again
When I saw the teaser trailer, I was excited. I’m a massive TRON fan. I have lots of memorabilia, and I love seeing them every day.
Then I saw the first full trailer, and I saw that Jared Leto was going to be in the movie. I got worried, I’ve never liked a role that Leto has played. He’s just creepy and awful.
I hope this isn’t the end of TRON, but I hope it’s the end of Leto. However, I hear he’s playing Skeletor in the new He-Man, so I guess he gets to kill another franchise.
I
liked himthought he did a good job in WeCrashed because he was playing a weirdo the audience was meant to hate. As always, he brought a certain I-can’t-stand-this-man energy to the role
Isn’t he like some weird fucking cultist? Why can’t they just hire normal people.
Yeah, he’s got an underage rape cult and should be in jail.
He was also the producer of the movie.
Ah, now it’s starting to all make sense.
Between shit like this and all those articles about Trump that are like “Is Trump breaking the law?”, Betteridge’s Law of Headlines is officially fucking dead.
I never know whos coping more, executives who think they can make a successful Tron movie or Tron fans who insist there’s potential in the franchise
Like most of Hollywood right now, if executives and producers stopped trying to make everything into generic action franchise movie, then it might be good. Tron was always a cult movie. Small loyal following who dragged countless friends family and living spouses to go sit for 2 hours to watch it.
If they would have kept it an ultra sci fi movie truly for the fans - it could have done moderately well. But they don’t want moderately well, they want ultra blockbuster so tried to make it appeal to everyone. So it appeals instead to no one, and here we are. Another franchise on the fire.
If attaching a poorly thought through plot onto a unique sci fi premise with stunning visuals, a unique score and mediocre acting isn’t what the cult following of Tron were after, then I don’t think people ever really liked this film as much as they claim.
Is Jared Leto to Blame?
Jared Leto is always to blame.
Fuck Jared Leto. Sole reason myself and many others refuse to pay for this movie.
Side thought: gauging whether a movie is good or bad based on opening weeks in theaters is stupid. I have never gone to an opening weekend and don’t think I’ve met anyone who has.
Opening weekend doesn’t tell you if it’s good or bad. It does give you a good idea if it’s going to make a profit. This one is going to be a big money looser.
Of course you have. You just haven’t talked to them about it.
Odds are good you’ve even met a murderer and didn’t know it.This is the most absurd post….
Opening weekend is all that matters when it comes to a movies success. It has always been that way. There are very few movies where the financial success does not come from opening weekend.
Without making money on residuals like rentals and syndication box office is how we measure value
I don’t know much about Tron, but it seems you have to be 50+ to appreciate it.
I think if any of your childhood was in the 1980’s and you were a boy, and a bit of a nerd you’d appreciate.
And yes I do still have my tron record album /comic book.
I mourn the loss of my original movie poster weekly.
How do you keep losing it every week? Just hang it on the wall. 🤷♂️
When I heard they were bringing Tron out to the real world. I lost all interest personally. I’ll watch it streaming when it comes to that, but skip the theaters for this one.
They first did that “real world” thing in Legacy, though, with Quorra. I will say they did a good job with the concept in this one.
Personally I sought it out in IMAX because this is one of those big special effects and sound movies that makes theater worth it. It looked and sounded great.
That was fine. The fact that it looks like 90% of Arse looks like it’s in fucking LA for what we all know is cost savings makes me 0 interested
It’s in Vancouver* for cost savings.
yes
I have no idea what the movie is supposed to be about, which is the first two strikes. But even if that weren’t the case, I won’t watch anything with a lead rapist.
There was a new Tron movie? Shit. Is it any good?
The NIN sound track is worth a listen. Otherwise apparently, no.
I do enjoy a bit of nin. That’s sad to hear, though. I love Tron. I even liked the shitty second one.
according to internet, it’s shit
And the internet is quite trustworthy.
Generally? Yes.
I get far more factual and accurate information out of the internet than I do offline.
Likewise we’re pretty good at collectively recognising shitty movies compared to a conventional media campaign hyping up some garbage.
:-(
I’ll have to tell my Japanese and German friends. They’re really into that sort of thing.
It’s quite good. It mostly ignores and retcons Legacy somewhat. But the story that it does build is interesting in its own right. A worthy addition to the Tron history.
I’ve gotten 2 votes for no and one for yes. That’s good enough for me to give it a shot.
I enjoyed it for the visual and audio aesthetic. The story is a bit meh, but it’s Tron so that’s what I expected going in.
