I have exactly 0 desire to see this

Will someone chime in on why Jared Leto is disliked so greatly?

Is Jared Leto going to be marketable going forward? He seems to be in the worst films. And he's a weirdo.

---

Are the films bad because of him, or can he only get hired for bad writing?

Doesn't he have a cult?

Listened to the soundtrack. Big fat meh from me.

Going to see it regardless. If it sucks, it sucks. I'm loving the soundtrack, so I hope it's a somewhat redeeming quality.

Besides, I'm not going to let critics tell me what I should and shouldn't watch. I'd rather judge for myself.

He seems like a guy who is good in an interesting supporting role but should never be the lead guy. I've only ever seen him in FIght Club, Dallas Buyers, Gucci, and Suicide Squad. Until today I didn't even realize he was in FIght Club.

He seems to take his "craft" way too seriously, sort of like the impression James Franco used to give of being some sort of high-brow artist who doesn't seem to realize that he's really overacting and in some really bad movies.

See Jack be ahead of his time.

If you like Tron, you'll like this movie. I enjoyed it. As noted, the soundtrack is killer. This aint no RT 90 percenter but its solid. I saw it on the IMAX screen which I recommend if you can.

Better than Solo.

Saw it with the kids today. Music and visuals are amazing. Story isn't amazing, but itbis fine. I usually find Jared Letto to be annoying, but he was fine as Aeres
His acting style worked as a computer program/ AI. My biggest annoyance was that Aeres is supposed to be an AI soldier sold to the military and he looks like a hippie.

The movie was fun. Only complaint was they should have picked a different actress for Eve. Not someone whose background was voice overs.

Wrong thread

It's this going to bomb?

The theater we have tickets to go see this have super screen, standard and 3D showings..... ALL showings for all formats for the entire day have a combined 15 seats sold

Box office mojo has Fridays estimated domestic gross as 14.6 million….fridays are usually higher than saturdays and Sundays are lowest so if I had to guess the weekend domestic gross will be around the high 30 million / low 40 million range….

Pretty sure I read the budget was around 180 million so yeah this'll be a bust….

I predicted this would not surpass the domestic performance of the last one but I figured it would domestically still gross over 100 million….looks like that could be a stretch at this point….

The only thing it has going for it is there's not much competition right now in theaters….

For reference Tron legacy did 172 million domestic when it came out in 2010

Production and marketing budget reported at $330M. Another ouchie coming for Disney.

Mel Brooks had it right, although afterbirth might be too kind.

Wife and I just saw it and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Leto was quite good and believable in his portrayal of Ares, and Greta Lee was fantastic. It's visually stunning, and I won't belabor the outstanding score other than to mention the brief callback to the original Tron theme which was a fun addition. While I suppose the fan service might seem too much for some, for many of us who saw the original in a theater in 1982 (and there were clearly several of us in the half-full Sunday matinee) let out a cheer when Ares...um, yeah.

Anyway, it was fun, there's no discernable Disney messaging nonsense, and I'll be seeing it again in IMAX 3D (today was our local small booze theater). It's definitely on my will-buy list, and recommended without reservation.

ETA - there's a mid-credit scene that's worth waiting a couple of minutes for. Nothing major, but fun.

good grief I hope that's wrong….cause if someone wasn't screaming, "there's no way we make money on this thing!" with that number then whoever was the final decision maker on that needs to be fired…..

I'm guessing that number is before the 25% tax discount with filming wherever the hell it was they filmed which will lower the reported budget if so………

but even still that's gonna be a high number that'll end up being well over it's total box office return…..

Yeeeeeesh…

Then you missed arguably his best role, in Requiem for a Dream.

That was peak Leto for me.

Everything else he's been in has been mid to bad. He was good in Dallas Buyer's Club.

Not surprised this movie sucks.
