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.......

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days ago

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 days ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Does tron have some complex lore that deserves that? Like comics or books or some basis? Hasn't it always been fairly simplistic and a spectacle?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Do you consider The Matrix to be fairly simplistic because it doesn't come from a comic or book series?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

No but ive seen the matrix and it was complex, I've seen tron and it wasn't, just going off the historical basis of what exists (that might not make sense im half awake right now)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days ago

Both of those aren’t so bad imo.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week 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.

TRON: Jared Leto

It's Troning time!

What dumbass keeps hiring this piece of shit?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week 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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Dark Tron with NIN

Yes fucking please.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

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