I hate Jared Leto cause I never be able to identify it’s him until credits are rolled. I don’t mind his acting or personal life but it’s so defeating to me when I can’t identify.
I have mixed feelings about Leto, but I do have a hankering for another Tron movie. The last one was like the first one but on steroids with Daft punk and everything. Listened to that soundtrack a million times.
This is probably going to be made by committee movie going through a checklist with standard action setpieces made by CG team with minimal to no input from the director.
There are, in fact other brilliant electronic artists who can do as much justice to Tron’s legacy as Daft Punk did, pun intended. Speaking of which, I’d nominate Justice to name a well known one.
Absolutely. And as a creepy sycophant in fight club.
Okay, so he mainly does creepy and crazy well lol.
That’s only partially a joke, but he did start out doing melodrama on tv, and did well. Did great in requiem for a dream as his first real lead.
He does method and takes it too far, and he really does specialize in roles that are what you might call bat-shit crazy, with a bat-shit crazy movie as an exception in his supporting roles when he plays normal.
But I can’t really say he screws up many of the roles. Even the notorious joker turn was in a badly written movie that edited out most of what he did.
Even the best songs can be driven into the dirt from being overplayed. 30 seconds has made some pretty good music, though, there's a reason that song got popular.
I’m a metal head from a small town that had to put up with so many parties where the emo chicks I was trying to get with put it on endlessly. I didn’t like it the first time I heard it, and it never grew on me.
He’s a… method actor. He’s one of those guys who will literally live in the role until production is finished, on and off camera.
He got a lot of hate for playing Joker in Suicide Squad (the first one), not only because their version of Joker was a cringey edge lord instead of the brilliant psychopath he’s usually portrayed as, but also because, while he was “in character,” he did a bunch of awful things to his costars, including mailing them used condoms. All because his character would’ve done those things and he was trying to live out the role in real life.
Then he acted in Morbius and was again awful to deal with until filming was wrapped, and it sparked a whole debate over whether method actors were even good actors in the first place.
I mean, as far as I’m concerned, if you can’t seamlessly slip into a role when the cameras turn on, then you’re kind of a shitty actor. If you need to adopt the role and be that character for the entire production timeline, then you kind of suck at acting. But that’s just my opinion.
I imagine most of the time, method acting doesn’t really produce a better result for the audience. I will say one of my favorite movies, Man on the Moon, was done with Jim Carey doing method acting and I can’t imagine that movie being the same if he didn’t. For yet another blah-tier superhero movie, probably not worth it, but on the rare dramatic role that calls for it, I can understand its use cases.
Eh, as much as the dude creeps me out, he was phenomenal in WeCrashed. Probably because the character was relentlessly insufferable.
Suicide Squad and Morbius were awful scripts, I don’t think anyone could have saved them. I also get the sense that sci-fi/fantasy isn’t really his jam, so I’m not hopeful when it comes to Tron.
He’s a pretty good actor. Paul Allen, Angel Face, the dude from my so-called-life. He’s a lot like Gary Oldman in that mainstream audiences don’t really clue in that it’s the same guy from that other movie they watched.
Only when the internet figured Gary Oldman out they thought he was the most underecognized actor ever. When they figured Jared Leto out they demanded he never be cast in anything ever again.
