Acting wise movie is awesome but it has no any ideal story.not even any morality...gives wrong msg to society and total nonsense theme of movie....for a normal viewer movie is may be between 5 to 6...but according a critic it should be below 3....

Yes, Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor. Also, the direction and cinematography in this films is very good. But what's the takeaway here? The Joker is crazy. Yeah, we know. We knew that already. Joaquin Phoenix is a good actor? Yeah we knewYes, Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor. Also, the direction and cinematography in this films is very good. But what's the takeaway here? The Joker is crazy. Yeah, we know. We knew that already. Joaquin Phoenix is a good actor? Yeah we knew that also. If anything, it's an essay on mental illness. At a time when we need more compassion and resources towards mental illness, the film shocks the viewer in to out-right fearing it. Sure, maybe that's not the intention, but that's the result. Or maybe it's just a movie about a comic book character and I shouldn't take it so literally. Either way, it's not something I'd recommend to people, and I won't watch it again. In the end, it's just not fun. Go watch one of the many other (superior) Joaquin Phoenix films instead. Expand

Not interesting, a failed attempt to explain the Joker's sick mind. They passed away.

A sickening movie with a great actor. If you like disturbing, ugly, sick storylines, here's the one for you. It portrays mental illness in a way that is very sad and untrue. Sick.

The only positive point of the movie is the relatively good Wakin Phoenix game, which in my opinion is not worth it in the face of thousands of negative points! Alas, I live in a world where the Joker is the pamphlet of the top 250 movies in history and people who know nothing about cinema have revealed this calamity! ... Finally, I want to say that it is better to know the meaning of cinema and not make a masterpiece from the garbage of cinema! Expand

hard carried by lead actors acting. we need an advanced ai that can replace any actor with a different one who has various different possible interpretations of the character, while keeping all else the same, then we would see really if the movie is good or an actor hard carried film. this btw might sound crazy but its much closer than you think, i'd give it at most 20 years till this ai is real.

The development of Joaquin Phoenix's protagonist, story and acting is undoubtedly a strong positive point, but it doesn't save the film, because, even with good reason, the story is slow, tiresome and tedious, causing the viewer to disconnect.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I've given this movie a 3 for the three good things about it: It rightfully killed the run of the stupid Jared Leto Joker. Phoenix's performance is excellent. The film is "well-made," but this is not a movie of substance. The movie is not a good talking point for mental health. The movie is not a good start for a discussion on society, rich vs. poor, etc. This is a stylized empty film that looks like many better Scorsese films but has an outline instead of a plot. It made money because it has a tangential relation to the DC universe. It really feels like these Batman references were added later to sell the movie. The movie would be basically the same with these elements removed. At least with the Batman attachment Bill Finger will get credit and money will finally go to his estate.

This movie alludes to things like the Goetz shooting but removes the element of race from it, which is one of its most important factors. That is typical of this movie, it superficially brings up issues to justify the violence. This movie brings up the need for better treatment for the mentally ill but by using the abuse of the mentally ill as the justification for the Joker's actions, it does a disservice to the mentally ill. Most violent crimes are not committed by the mentally ill but if we delve into these any of these issues then it would be harder to convince the audience to sympathize with Arthur Fleck once he becomes a mass murderer with no remorse. The movie is inviting us to be comfortable with the villain and root for him. There are many movies that make for an uncomfortable experience. They depict relentless cruelty and depravity. You don't feel comfortable at the end credits. But Joker does that and that alone. It's a shallow take on society and how it fails people with a little "Batman" thrown in. When the movie shows that Fleck is a completely unreliable narrator the audience has to question how much is real and how is in much is in Fleck's head. Leaving everything ambiguous is great for covering up many plot holes and looking profound. "Joker" is a sleek veneer of a picture made to look arty. That's all. But it won two Oscars and made over a billion dollars. A sequel will be out soon. So for most, the end justifies the means.
