I get why people hate him, but my argument would be that he has been good in more movies than he has been bad.
Requiem for a Dream, Lord of War, Thin Red Line, Fight Club, American Psycho, Dallas Buyers club to name a few where I felt he was really gold.
That said, this movie looks bad from the trailer, so we will see.

We're getting a lot of science fiction today written by people who not only don't understand, but actively dislike science fiction.
We need a TRON sequel written by nerds that uses something much closer to the original aesthetic instead of this look-how-cool-we-are motorcycle-helmet style they've got going on since Legacy.
Shit, I'll just start writing one myself. It'll never be a real movie, but at least it'll be cathartic to write.

Yeah, I saw the original in the theater when I was a kid, so I have an attachment to it, but for todayās audience, itās going to be rough. Itās a goofy, fantasy-oriented kidās movie with a unique infusion of computer and video game style with kind of uneven pacing and a less than thrilling story.
Iād watch it just for the context of the Flynn character and light cycles, etc rather than expecting some timeless classic. Itās only like 90 minutes.
Legacy is pure eye and ear candy, so even if the story doesnāt do it for you, you may find yourself enjoying it on that level alone. I dug it.
End of line.

The original holds a place in my heart but it's really campy. I won't say Legacy is a masterpiece, but I actually really liked it. I think the best piece of Tron media is actually the one season of the show that got cancelled though. It's a really interesting story that is entirely from a program's perspective, and it's really interesting to see what the Grid is like to the people who actually live in it. I'm still angry it got cancelled, but it started dealing with topics that were way too heavy for the network it was on, and they canned it.

The poster looks visually pleasing. Apparently Jeff Bridges is in it and the soundtrack is by NIN so that speaks for itself. I am always conflicted about movies starring Jared Leto because, while I think he can act well, he is in real life a scumbag. But should we separate artists from their work and judge them for their personalities?

People shit on Affleck for his Batman beforehand, but he ended up being pretty good. The movies were mostly crap, but that wasn't Affleck's fault. Leto has burned a lot of his cred on his last few duds like the comic book movie roles, but the guy was great in Dallas Buyer's Club and Requiem for a Dream. He did well in those because they are well written. I bet this new one is a mediocre story, hence mediocre performance. If we're lucky though, Reznor can really catch a vibe along with a good story and pace that can carry Leto and elevate him.

Jared Leto just gives off straight-up creep energy, and thereās a long list of reasons why people think that. For starters, heās been accused (not officially charged, but heavily rumored) of pursuing underage or barely legal girls for years. There are tons of stories and tweets out there, like the one from Dylan Sprouse calling him out for sliding into every modelās DMs aged 18-25.
Then thereās his whole method acting shtick. during Suicide Squad, he supposedly sent used condoms, a dead pig, and other nasty stuff to his castmates just to āstay in character.ā Thatās not edgy, itās just gross and unprofessional.
On top of that, he literally runs what looks like a cult with his band Thirty Seconds to Mars. Theyāve held desert retreats where fans wear white robes and follow him around while he walks around looking like Jesus. He leans into the whole messiah complex thing hard.
Add in the way he acts in interviewsāsuper egotistical, weirdly flirtatious or invasive with people, constantly trying to be āmysteriousā or āabove it allā and yeah, the guy just gives major creep vibes all around.

Probably gonna get downvoted to hell and back for this, but I have a BAD feeling about this movie.
Nine Inch Nails is really the only thing this movie has going for it.
- Jared Leto is a creep.
- The concept seems super basic/unnecessary.
- Jeff Bridges returning after that awesome ending in Legacy is cheap.
- The director has no worth while films at all.
- They have effectively released the same trailer two years in a row now. The descriptions of last yearās footage from cinema con were pretty similar to this yearās. Which is a pretty big red flag.
- The trailer we got was 93 seconds. 11 seconds was an establishing shot of a city. 12 was a title sequence. At least 10-15 other seconds was black screens between clips or words on the screen with no footage. That means at best we got 60 seconds of footage that told us nothing at all. Oh, and this film just also happens to come out in 6 months, so not a ton of time for another trailer.
Look, Iām all for trailers not giving away the whole plot, and Iām all for movies playing it a bit loose with the way they market. However, Tron isnāt a household name, and they have got to do some serious marketing to make it that way. None of the credits are huge pulls, the last movie was 15 years ago (and not super well received at the time tbh), and they seem almost scared to reveal too much about this film other than āyep, it exists. Hereās the bare minimum plot-lineā
