20 Movies That Weren't Worth The Wait

20. Tron: Ares

Tron: Ares is just the third entry into the sci-fi action franchise in 43 years, serving as a follow-up to 2010's Tron: Legacy.

Though Disney intended to produce a direct sequel to Legacy in short order, the film's underwhelming box office performance gave the regime pause, and so the decision was eventually made to instead produce a largely standalone third film.

While Tron: Ares boasts some undeniably dazzling visuals and a pulse-pounding score from Nine Inch Nails, that's more or less all the film has going for it.

The Tron-on-Earth narrative is such a generic, messy mish-mash of half-baked ideas that Ares is somehow the one thing few expected - a genuinely boring Tron movie.

It doesn't help that Jared Leto's Ares makes for an utterly listless protagonist, and the film as a whole just feels painfully uninspired, even outright forgettable. 

After fans waited patiently for 15 years, Disney really needed to come out swinging, and this just wasn't it.
