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

That’s… bad

    I feel like I was the “target” for this movie. Tron’s retro futurism/ cyberpunk style has always been interesting. NIN doing the soundtrack! I’ve listened to it at least 5 times already. Jared Leto? Well I’m not a big fan but he was good recently as a detached psychopath villain in Blade Runner 2049. But is that really a compelling lead? Joachim Ronning directing? Uh oh. A Disney journey man just making the same soulless films. Bottom line is I absolutely despise Disney/Marvel/ new Star wars movies. I don’t trust Disney to do anything remotely new, interesting or meaningful. If they do I consider it a fluke now. I’m assuming this will be like 90% modern Disney movies where they worked on “cgi action scenes” 2 years before they wrote the script and everything will feel like it was scenes pasted together for the trailer advertisments without any interest in world building, plot or characters. Just a bunch of over dramatic dialogue to get to the next “cgi action spectical”. No thanks.

      I saw it and this is an accurate review. I just zoned out and enjoyed it as an elaborate music video.

        This. I went to see it on opening night and there were four of us in the cinema. Four.

        Everyone said “NiN music video with some cool Tron throwbacks”

        Pretty sure millions called it long before it was even an elevator pitch. Any “sequel” to the previous music video would, logically, also be a masturbatory product with a candy fan-service coating and a hard-on for edging like mangas’ got issues. 🤷🏼‍♂️

        Paying to watch this isn’t dissimilar to buying a front-row ticket to a truckstop donkey show. Everyone knows there’s no excuse for what you did, and no you’re gonna have to get those stains out yourself.
