For reference, this is lower than the opening weekend of Morbius.

That's... bad

See you all in a decade when they try rebooting this franchise again!

It's almost comical at this point how Disney just refuses to learn from their mistakes.

Yeah, I don't think superhero movies will do good for a while.

The current climate of the world is in people realizing that superheros and hope doesn't exist and good guys don't win. So when you see another superhero movie where the good guys win .... it rubs you the wrong way when you know that this isn't the reality in the real world.

Superhero movies do well because real life is so shit. We need that escape.

I saw it yesterday only because it was BIL's birthday pick.

It was... Not good. Soundtrack was a banger though. Literally the only positive thing I have to say about the movie.

I saw it yesterday at a morning IMAX showing. Jared Leto is gross to me, and he's in this movie a lot—roughly equal time to the other lead, Greta Lee (who did a good job).

That said, Leto plays a very low-key role throughout, which somehow made it easier, like a lower dosage. I was able to sit through his performance. Hasan Minaj was also randomly in this in a supporting dramatic role.

The harder thing for me was the constant work of suspension of disbelief required for this movie. The trailer had done nothing for me and I straight up didn't like the idea of "Tron in the real world," despite the ending of Legacy.

I found the entire thing incredibly silly, which kept me at an emotional distance from the movie, but there was an extended sequence in act 2 that I actually did quite like. The story was a bit too simple: there wasn't even really much of a B-plot until partway through act 2. There were some non-crucial plot holes, so just don't think about anything too hard.

Basically, the visuals were great, the soundtrack was good/fine, and the story was silly but serviceable. This will be no one's favorite Tron movie, but it's watchable.

It's weird they keep trying to give Jared Leto a chance when every comment ever written ought to let them know no one wants him to get another chance.
