Yeah I suspect the problem isn't influencers vs journalists so much as rightsizing budgets. Tron was never a big franchise, it's based on a cult classic, and Tron Legacy only made a modest $400 mil. Giving Ares a Star Wars level budget was insane. Hollywood really needs to get costs under control.

as someone who didn't know Matt Damon was in the film before seeing it, this cameo really broke my sense of immersion. It was hard to see the character because people in my theater were laughing at seeing Damon.
