I'm so not stoked for this... Apart from being a reboot, bringing Tron to the real world smells like budget cuts to make the movie. I seriously think it will suck, but the soundtrack will rock.

Apparently this grid is based on the Dillinger systems & not Encom

I was hyped watching this trailer, saw Jared Leto and immediately went β€œnooooo” not watching anything with that hack

Leto is the male acting version of Madona.......

[–] Henry_of_Skalitz@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Allegations against Leto have been documented as far back as 2005 when a report in the New York Post alleged that Leto texted teenagers and seemed to have an attraction to younger girls. In a now-deleted message board, multiple women posted that Leto took advantage of them when they were underage.

James Gunn has confirmed he has seen Leto gravitate to underage girls and flirt with them

He has a cult, though this one seems a bit like cringey publicity stunt tbh.

Aside from that, his general shit baggery, like sending used condoms and live rats to costars just to be edgy. He’s 53 and behaves like an edgy teen

He's a cult leader that preys on young fans of his

The director is also a guy Disney throws at a movie when they want money, but don't really want it to be good or anything.

Joachim Ronning, director of Maleficent and the latest Pirates of the Carribean.

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Whats wrong with maeleficent, its a fun watch, movies don't need to be complicated lol, sometimes its refreshing for it to be straightforward

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 1 points 35 minutes ago

As a fan of everything about Tron, every word you used to describe Maleficent is the opposite of what I want out of a Tron movie.

[–] 3dmvr@lemm.ee 2 points 13 hours ago

Idk anyone man or woman that ever liked the original sleeping beauty trope, shits just creepy

[–] piyuv@lemmy.world 2 points 17 hours ago

Both of those aren’t so bad imo.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Gillian Anderson may get my view, but in any case I'm not going to the theater.

[–] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 22 points 2 days ago

Man I was excited until Jared Leto showed up in the trailer. Funny how the line heard when he appears is "there's no going back". Like, yeah, agreed.

[–] ShadowRam@fedia.io 13 points 2 days ago

Dark Tron with NIN

Yes fucking please.

TRON: Jared Leto

It's Troning time!

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What dumbass keeps hiring this piece of shit?

[–] Courantdair@jlai.lu 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Out of the loop, could anybody explain why all this hate please? Honest question

[–] jasep@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think he's an awful actor, but that's probably not what people are reacting to.

He has a reputation of being difficult to work with as an actor. He also allegedly runs a cult, where he has been accused of taking advantage of young female acolytes.

[–] Donkter@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's both. He's difficult to work with, but also his acting is so bad he makes most movies he's in worse than they could be.

Plenty of Hollywood actors are assholes, but if they're good enough at acting they're forgiven. Jared Leto is not good enough to get away with it.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

It's both plus he is dragging down movies I want to be enjoyable. If he was ruining rom coms or something I wouldn't care.

[–] Goated@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am not a fan of Legacy, bht I'm kinda excited for this one. Looks interesting

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I enjoyed legacy. It wasn't the movie I was expecting, and it has rough parts, but overall I found it fun, particularly the action scenes and the sound track.

I will also plan to see this one.

[–] Goated@lemm.ee 6 points 1 day ago

I also enjoyed Legacy, not the story, but especially it's Visuals. I have high hopes from third movie

[–] HejMedDig@feddit.dk 10 points 2 days ago

The visuals look good. Probably a good movie to watch on shrooms
