insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.
See this is the problem. Insiders still thought Jared Leto was a good pick.
Jared leto is an actor who would get me to avoid a movie I would otherwise be interested in.
When has Leto EVER "lead" a franchise?
Has he ever been an A lister? He's always been a B or C list player.
Jared Leto isn't a lead actor. Never has been. Never will be again.
Look like its morbin time again.
Dear Jordan Catalano, Angela is not as into you as she thought.
Also, for Tron Ares specifically, I know that I am instantly turned off the moment a franchise that mostly exists in another world/dimension/etc. decides it's going to do something in "the real world." I know Tron isn't as bright-line as other IPs, but the appeal is still largely in seeing how the inside of computers and networks is anthropomorphized and analogized into an alternate universe that comments on contemporary anxieties about technology. Nobody was asking to see light cycles and recognizers in LA.
I quite enjoyed Tron Legacy. Shame they couldn't continue that on.
I despise reboots - especially ones that ignore the original (coughfemale Ghostbusterscough)
I liked the one with Olivia Wilde in tight tron leather
I have a friend who likes to review movies in a similar style to Hideo Kojima, i.e. He refuses to be disparaging but the worse a movie is, the less he says. His review of Tron: Arse was, "It has a nice bassy soundtrack".
It's not all his fault - the script and plot were dire. Nobody came out of this looking good except for the music, visuals, Jeff Bridges and Depeche Mode.
All they had to do is continue Tron Legacy's story line with Sam and Quorra.
The TRON franchise has always been in the wrong hands. Disney is doing the bare minimum with it, to not lose the license.
The first movie was great, TRON 2.0 is one of the best games ever made and I also liked TRON: Uprising (which was promptly cancelled after one season, of course). Everything else is just mid or mediocre.
Wait and pirate it. At least that way you won't feel too bad when you shut it off fifteen minutes in.
Oh no. Anyway...
Why do they keep making Tron movies? Tron doesn’t even matter in the first sequel that carries his name.
I might be in the minority, but, I enjoyed Ares.
They reveal the character in the red/orange hue and I thought it might be ok with him being the bad guy.
Then I see he's producing it and it was pretty easy to see he was going to turn face and this was going to be the movie, that's when I said this isn't going to be good. However, his flat acting played pretty well into an AI that's learning.
All of the Tron movies require a major suspension of disbelief, none of them are going to win awards for plot, but that's not what these movies are for. When I see a Tron movie I just want to be entertained with pretty visuals and a solid soundtrack. If I want a movie that's going to challenge my view of the world I'm going to go somewhere else.
I despise Leto as much as the next person. But credit where credit is due, I did enjoy his role in House Of Gucci. But that might be his broken clock moment.
