I would like to be excited about Tron, but Jared Leto.

This guy must have blackmail on someone. He's somehow an A lister without ever really backing it up. He just keeps getting roles with one cardboard performance after another. He might have been good in Dallas buyers club, but I don't remember.

Baffling Hollywood career. Hasn't been good in anything since Lord of War.

He's a legit cult leader and Intel cutout. No really, look it up.

He also owns and lives in Lookout Mountain, which is literally an ex CIA movie studio where they filmed all the fake nuclear explosion footage and numerous other propaganda pieces and rumored to be where Kubrick shot the fake moon landing... If you believe that sort of thing.. Of course.

He can continue to make shite until he's dead, while simultaneously never aging. It won't matter. Hell still get plenty of A list parts

Jeremy Jahns reviewed it

He said it has 1 good character

1

and the character isn't just good, it is great

The character is the NIN soundtrack

The rest of the movie is a convoluted mess.

I was aware of the CIA connections, but don't know about cult activities. The CIA has definitely been a gatekeeper in Hollywood for a long time,

I agree. I can't believe they went with him.

I said this when it popped up in an ad last night.

I’m fine with DBC and as the Bad Guy in BR2049 and even that terrible movie with Denzel but I just can’t root for the guy as a lead protagonist m.

So basically the same thing as Tron 2 and Daft Punk.

This, and he's in every shot of the trailer, so it will just be wall to wall Leto. The dude is just unremarkable. I bet even his cult is boring as shite.

Legitimately, one of the worst major studio releases of the past decade.

That yakuza movie the outsider was unwatchable. Jared leto might actually be a psychopath.. i think the reason why his characters are so shallow without any depth is because there is nothing behind those eyes.. cold and dead

He was alright in Requiem for a Dream. That being said, he sucks.

Some of you are on crack in this thread. He may very well be a psychopath, but he’s a pretty good actor.

American Psycho
Dallas Buyer’s Club
House of Gucci
The Outsider
Urban Legend

Smaller roles in numerous other movies.

That seems to be the consistent review. NIN is great, the visuals are great but the script and most of the characters are shallow and weak.

I've never given a shite about NIN and I don't care enough about IMAX to go out of my way, so the rest is saddening, but considering Leto, it's also expected.
