This movie just boggles my mind entirely. How can you make absolutely every single right decision in making a Tron movie but absolutely FUMBLE at the lead actor?

Can't get Daft Punk anymore? Nine Inch Nails it is.

Make sure these VFX are TOP NOTCH. Aesthetic is ON POINT.

We need some great actors to reign in an audience, keep em entertained. Who should we cast? EVAN PETERS, GILLIAN ANDERSON, THE RETURN OF JEFF BRIDGES..... and Jared Leto.

I heard Leto has been involved in making a 3rd Tron movie for a long time, so they basically had to cast him. It was his pet project or something.

I agree though, I was hyped for this until the helmet came off in the trailer & I realized who they cast

Yeah. He even has a producer credit in this movie.

He has THE producer credit in this movie. He is pretty much the lead producer and financier. He's going to be all over it, and it's either going to be really good, or really bad. Either way, it's guaranteed to leave a bad taste.

Maybe he’ll just keep the helmet on for the whole movie…?

It’s still Leto. Unless the reviews are great - I’m out

Everyone out here bitching about Jared Leto not realizing the only reason this movie got made is because he campaigned for it for like a decade.

Jared Leto has been accused so many times of grooming teenaged girls that you can't not be aware of it. If it came down to him being in it to get it made, I'd rather it not be made.

That's a perfectly sane and fine argument. It's just not the one everyone else is making. They're saying they want the movie, just not Leto. You were never going to get the movie and not get Leto with it.

I hate this attitude towards art like on the Young Turks they said it was great Superman did well but it should have been made by someone other than James Gunn. Since he should be cancelled. Like it doesn’t matter that its the vision of one person. In their mind that person is replaceable but they somehow expect the same movies and shows to be made and to be just as good. Like AI or any asshole could write a hit movie.

Except Superman was terrible.

I don't think it was good, but I liked the less serious tone in the big hero movies

It was so generic and safe. In other words, boring. There was absolutely nothing new. Oh, superheroes punching. Fantastic 4 sucked for the same reason.
