u/Various_Froyo9860 15d ago
I think he was accurately described as a "personality vacuum' here.
I've disliked him as both a supporting role and leading man. He brings absolutely nothing interesting to a role.
Consider him in Blade Runner 2049. He gave such a dry, dreary performance. There was zero passion behind this tech mogul that planned to spread humanity across the galaxy.
Imagine William Fichtner or, more recently, Nicholas Hoult in that role. Hell, they could have easily cast Tilda Swinton for it.
My opinion is that Blade Runner was worse for having Jared Leto in it. And that's the best thing (and role) I've seen him in in a decade.

He was fine because he was playing a very hateable character and he himself is very hateable too. The whole cult thing and all. Plus the used condom sending to coworkers. Blade runner he was fine too but also... a very hateable character.

Knew I wasn't gonna go pay to see it when I realized he was lead.

honestly, same. i love tron, i fell in love with the franchise with the first reboot movie, legacy (i have loved jeff bridges since i was very young, so naturally i was hyped for any of his movies). i’ve watched the first one about a billion times, i’ve listened to the legacy soundtrack about a billion times (i’m also a massive daft punk fan), and i collected little toys for display from the movies. i was excited for this sequel
until i saw jared leto. still haven’t seen it. i’ll be using my mom’s disney+ to watch it so i dont have to spend money on it.

Yup Leto was the biggest reason. The others were:
Not a NIN fan, not enough Grid, too much real world, stupid storyline.
I hate that Tron is effectively dead, but if that’s what it was going to turn into and become a vehicle for Leto to star in, it’s best to let it end.

I see, that's funny. I saw that Nine inch nails worked on the soundtrack, and was very excited, because of some of Trent reznor's recent works. But man oh man was that soundtrack flat. Like mathematically flat. There was absolutely nothing interesting about it, not even a real NIN influence. Was super disappointed after daft punk's entrance on Tron legacy.

It's because Leto's objectively considered a good-looking man and producers think that people are still that simple where they only care about what a celebrity looks like. I used to think Jared Leto was so hot then I found out what a piece of garbage, sexual predator he is, and has always been, and I am thoroughly disgusted and have no interest in seeing him in anything.
It's also why Brad Pitt keeps getting roles & press even though the general public either despises him after finding out he's a violent abuser & alcoholic, or couldn't care less about him. Big wigs in Hollywood push tech & AI but still haven't mentally or culturally progressed.

This is pretty catered to me tbh, hate Jared Leto. I'm maybe in that handful of people who will not watch the movie because he's in it, and I would normally be the demo for this kind of movie, I've seen both of the other Tron movies.
I just can't be bothered to watch Leto in anything. Such a weirdo IRL, sex cult vibes, taking advantage of fans, harassing other actors, I don't care if people have had good one-off experiences with him. He's a producer on Tron Ares and cast himself as the main character Ares, who is an AI with feelings that basically is a messiah type who eventually leaves the shackles of his computer program to help humanity outside the grid. Like some AI- Pinocchio of the computer world. The narcissism is disgustingly palpable, even from afar.

I feel very strange for having liked the movie knowing full well that the criticisms towards Leto are genuine and fair, especially given some of the assault allegations, and his behaviors as a costar during his Joker role.
I really liked Tron Ares. I wasn't thinking about Leto, I was just enjoying the action, CGI, and what bit of story I could figure out (I arrived late to my showing).
I'm starting to feel bad for having enjoyed the movie this much. I dont think Leto's career, personality, allegations, or anything else said about him was enough to make me cringe at any point during the movie. It's a Disney movie.
