Honestly, if it wasn't for Leto, I'd be super down for Tron. Legacy was awesome. But Leto is keeping me away. They could have chosen basically anyone else.

Yeah, generally I just haven't enjoyed watching him on screen except for in Bladerunner 2049 when he was a tertiary character.
It's too bad that they left Wilde and Hedlund on the shelf because I guess they were deemed irrelevant after this much time, but even just to pass the torch it would've been nice.
I'll check it out because of the good will built over the first two. If it can just be fun with a bumping soundtrack then it won't be a waste at least. But I wish it was more of a direct sequel than a re-quel.
Disney just bombs at identifying when and where they need to build/invest or cut their losses.
The Civil War had some good moments, but the ending was underwhelming. Great concept, poor execution
This is my take as well. The movie was a missed opportunity for me. I had high hopes for it. I know some like it but it could have been so much more imo.

Yeah, I went in cold and didn't even know he was in it. Was really surprised as whenever you see him you're like, 'jared leto jared leto jared leto jared leto'. I don't buy him as anything other than Jared Leto.
Plus I though he was the leader of a cult or something. Should we cancel the guy or whatever we do now?
Anyway, I was able to overlook it and just chill to the 3D visuals (which I like...never understood people not liking 3D) and NIN soundtrack (even though it was pretty mid as far as how good NIN can be).

You must have left before the end. It was great. Full circle to the first scene where she photographs the president on TV from her hotel room bed. Pablo Escobar or whoever the guy was was only after a quote. He got it. New plucky photographer had a great arc going from naive to capable and finishing what Dunst started in scene 1.
Just a terrific movie.
Perhaps the army and fighting stuff took you out of the moment if they weren't operating in a realistic way given your life experience. I don't know jack squat about any of that stuff, so it wasn't a distraction and I absolutely loved every millisecond of that 10/10 movie.
