After debating a lot with myself whether or not to watch Tron:Ares (because I loved Legacy and did only hear negative things about Ares) a friend finally talked me into it and... well. It certainly was a movie.
That's just about all I can say about it. It certainly wasn't good but it also wasn't actually bad enough to hate it. It was so incredibly bland. In fact, it was so forgettably bland that I barely remember key scenes less than a week after watching it. Even the soundtrack wasn't memorable at all to me.
To me, that's way more damning than a movie I would have hated.

I feel kinda similar, I love the original movie and Legacy. Ares was very bland and didn't compare well to the other movies but I still enjoyed it as a fun spectacle movie.

I also found it quite interesting as a new installment in a series of films reflecting anxieties about our relationship to computers, and our pop culture concept of AI. Not necessarily interesting or deep as a movie, it was pretty much just an entertaining popcorn film for me with how dumb the plot was, but comparing how the characters are styled throughout the films, the way people talk about technology, and the fantasy version of "an evil computer." Plus just the aesthetics associated with technology, the way we imagine a computer world changes through the decades. That stuff was more interesting than the actual movie!

I was disappointed by the soundtrack also. I'm a fan of NIN and enjoyed the music well enough but the first two films have much more experimental and fitting music, I would have liked to see a different score.

I hate the actor in it so I would never watch it based on that alone, but ouch, you're right that it being so forgettable is a worse attribute than for it to be hatable.
