All 3 TRON Movies Ranked From Worst to Best (Including TRON: Ares)

Eli Brau December 31, 2025 Lists

Here is Cinephile Corner’s ranking of every TRON movie from worst to best:

3. Tron (1982)

2. TRON: Legacy (2010)

1. TRON: Ares (2025)

TRON: Ares arrives with a lot working against it. I skipped it in theaters after the rough word of mouth and because this is a franchise I have never felt much for. TRON has always struck me as sleek and narratively thin, and TRON: Legacy doubled down on the clunk. Joachim Rønning takes the reins here, with Jared Leto in the lead and Greta Lee in support, and on paper that did not inspire confidence. What surprised me is that I had more fun than expected, even if the film is still a mixed bag.
