Tron: Ares reviews are beginning to come in, with most reacting poorly to the latest Disney movie starring Jared Leto.
What are the Tron: Ares reviews saying?
Over on Rotten Tomatoes, Tron: Ares sits at a 57% overall, with 58 reviews in so far. Despite the negative reaction to the film, Ares’ score still does sit slightly higher than its predecessor, 2010’s Tron: Legacy (51%), for now. Both films score lower than 1982’s Tron, which has a 61% score on Rotten Tomatoes.
TheWrap’s William Bibbiani didn’t hold back, saying that the film had a “great frickin’ soundtrack,” but that the movie “completely sucks” otherwise. The Hollywood Reporter’s David Rooney was slightly nicer, saying “it’s no sci-fi insta-classic, but there are worse things to be than a surprisingly entertaining post-summer popcorn bucket.”
Rolling Stone’s David Fear said that the Tron series was in a tough position, needing to either reboot itself or call it quits. With Ares, Fear says, Disney “chose the systems upgrade. It’s Game Over regardless.” USA Today’s Brian Truitt was equally negative, praising the soundtrack and Jeff Bridges, but noting “traveling to that nifty high-tech landscape in this third ‘Tron’ outing has become a chore.”
It wasn’t all negative, though. Consequence’s Liz Shannon Miller praises the film for being a “big spectacle,” while Indiewire’s David Ehrlich calls it a movie that is “relevant, palatable, and undemanding enough” to turn Tron into a new franchise. ComingSoon’s Jonathan Sim also praised the movie, calling it a “stellar cinematic experience.”
Alongside Jared Leto, Tron: Ares also features a star-studded cast that includes Greta Lee, Evan Peters, Hasan Minhaj, Jodie Turner-Smith, Arturo Castro, Cameron Monaghan, Gillian Anderson, Jeff Bridges, and Sarah Desjardins.
Tron: Ares will be the third official feature film in Disney’s Tron franchise following 1982’s Tron and 2010’s Tron: Legacy. The film is directed by Joachim Rønning, who previously made 2019’s Maleficent: Mistress of Evil and 2024’s Young Woman and the Sea. He also co-directed 2017’s Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales with Espen Sandberg. The script for the film is written by Jesse Wigutow.
