This movie is a masterpiece. Absolutely amazing. It is by far the best comic book based movie ever. Joaquin Pheonix deserves an oscar.

Only in fascist countries do the financial elite try and shackle, completely propagandize the creative process, reduce it purely to politics- and in our case, also clickbait headlines for social media 'engagement' i.e. ad revenue. It's manipulative and degenerative, and until the root of the problem is addressed, namely authoritarian control of the press w almost no transparency, oversight, or accountability- and digital, algorithmic suppression of alternative points of view- you will see what you do with the Joker- a very good film, which wins awards, people enjoy as a majority, but that CIA/Pentagon/Silicon Valley mouthpiece news critics, placed on high on their neoliberal/neocon pedestals for either side of the reactonary circus, will always be ready to try and ram some other idea of a film, book, music down everyone's throat, not because it's what they think, but because they are hired PR goons paid to anger people for maximum coverage. It makes it all less enjoyable, totally degrades the experience all around. If you are sick of seeing this happen- look into #1vs5i . Whether on the net, or on YT- genuine films like the Joker need to be received with genuine journalism- not revolving-door fascism. Expand

It isn’t the cinema of human beings trying to convey emotional, psychological experiences to another human being.”

But this movie, this is not a superhero movie. This is a story about downtrodden citizen, with numerous issues and a bad life, becoming something else. Real human being and the torture that pushes him across the line. In-cre-di-ble. ! 10/10.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 9
Acting: 9
Plot: 9

Unlike the previous DC movies (after 2012's The Dark Knight Rises) which is set in DC Extended Universe, Joker is a standalone movie which is separated from the shared universe franchise and starred Joaquin Phoenix as the titular character instead of Jared Leto, who previously portrayed the character in 2016's Suicide Squad.

Set in the year of 1981, Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) lives in Gotham City with his mother, Penny Fleck (Conroy), and works a party clown to make ends meet. He also idolised the talk show host, Franklin Murray (De Niro) and wants to be like him one day. Life in Gotham City is very difficult for him because the city is filled with crimes, unemployment and society is very heavily divided between the rich and poor.

Arthur also has a disorder which causes him to laugh at inappropriate times and he always relied on social services program for his medication. His life starts to get from bad to worse when he lost his job due to bringing a gun to a children's hospital while entertaining the children which is meant for his own protection and being sold out by his friend who gave him the gun to protect his own skin.

The worst things happened to him does not stop there. After he lost his job, he gets beaten up by three drunken Wayne Enterprises employees in a subway train which forced him to kill two of them with his gun in self-defense and execute the last one when he attempts to escape. Not long after that, he loses access to his medication after the social services program got shut down due to budget cut and learns a horrifying truth about his mother along with his past. Arthur's fall to the path of darkness begins here.

While it may not be part of the shared universe, this movie is really great and the tone is very dark and even better when combined with the plot which is very well written and executed. It is even darker than 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

What I love about the movie are the character developement and ambiguous nature. For the former, I love how Arthur Fleck's journey began from a nobody who is ignored by society until his transformation into an iconic villain being depicted. He worked very hard as working man but after all that hard work, he always ended up getting beaten, betrayed and even being mock by other people. All these bad things happened to him had led him to become a villain. All it takes to change a person was a "one bad day".

For the latter, Todd Phillips managed to make the movie into an open ended and more than one interpretation. This is true to the source material because Joker does not really have an origin story in the comic book. In the comic book itself, Joker prefer his origin story to be a multiple choice. This multiple choice was used in the movie which really made you think whether which parts of his origin are true and what other parts are false. It is really up to audiences' interpretation. That is what made the movie plot really great.

Joaquin Phoenix is really amazing in his performance as Joker. He put up a lot of effort in this role and he successfully nailed it. His dances in some scenes and his Joker laugh are very impressive. In addition, his version of Joker is right on par with the late Heath Ledger, who portrayed Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight. His acting skills is definitely an Oscars worthy be nominate as Best Actor and might even have the chance to win that award.

This movie is truly a masterpiece for a low budget superhero (or supervillain in this case) movie. I would definitely recommend to watch this movie to everyone and not just comic book fans.

Forget how superhero movies make you feel. Forget that
Following in the paths of truly great movies like Taxi Driver and The Dark Knight, Joker (2019) is an in depth character study, with an electrifying performance by Joaquin Phoenix.

Forget how superhero movies make you feel. Forget that you're even going to watch a superhero movie. Joker is one of the most realistic and effective take on a villain that has been put up on the big screen for ages. Technically solid, Joker again showcases why Joaquin Phoenix is one of the best actors working today and why The Joker is probably the most interesting comic book villain.

The transition from a lonely loser to nothing less than a freedom fighter is depicted with style and vigour, the yellow and blue pallete, the nightscape of a very realistic Gotham providing a compelling backdrop to the crimes Joker commits -- which are in fact so relatable and understandable that viewers are forced to contemplate if what they're seeing on screen is actually moral or not. We all know the answer to that question however -- it is immoral. Crimes, especially murder is obviously, immoral. But the movie depicts a personality whose morality is dead. He's had enough. But the movie doesn't tell you that that's a good thing. It just depicts.

A Roger Ebert quote fits quite well here - It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.

Joker doesn't shy away from gorey violence,and taking on controversial themes. And I liked that. Many didn't. Many thought the movie is spreading the "wrong message". To them I ask, tell me a villain who sends the "right message". I'll wait. Movies try so hard to portray a compelling character study of a protagonist who is a villain. They generally fail miserably in doing so. Joker smashes it out of the park.

The new Joker movie is yet another visceral and cerebral retelling of the iconic Joker character. Albeit the thematic of this iteration is more of a macabre "Rite of Passage." I absolutely adore it:

The Good: Stellar acting. Themes of gray and grey morality. Gratuitous violence. The Cinematography and disturbing realism.
The Bad: A rather peculiar lack of consequences for his actions. While it is expected, coming from a villain's P.O.V., it inevitably loses a bit of hardcore grit that could have put it a slight tier above Heath Ledger's Joker, whose dark and brutal portrayal is immortal.
The Ugly: This is a good kind of ugly, but the haunting irony, the touch on several topical themes that ail our society and the wonderful musical thematics that accompanies the movie creates a haunting experience and I was wowed beyond belief in an era where I have massive brightness-induced-apathy with overenfranchised Marvel and DC comics movies with pointless, unnecessary remakes. I swear if another Avengers movie comes out, I'm boycotting superhero movies for another ten years. More of this visceral, cerebral content that actually bothers to stimulate your mind please!

The concept is great, the feel of falling into mad descent, the uncontrollable laugh, the play on Thomas Wayne and Joker, these are all done phenomenally(and a few others I can't spoil). I can't help but to feel thought, that this movie could have been and should have been a 9 or even 10. It's got all the right pieces to the puzzle and with a more thorough execution would be right there. I think making this movie 3 hours long, showing a little more of his descent into madness, and really capitalizing on the final few scenes and not leaving you with the ending that it did really would have put this to number 1 for me but above all it's still a really good film. If you're a comic fan it's a must see. Expand

Actor acting: 9.5 distinctive dance twists and strange and uncomfortable laughter, with the undulating performances of various stages of the plot, the multi-scene exposed thin and thin body contrasts with increasing pressure, the action of painting the clown makeup many times is considered The plot is high, but the hard part is that there is no makeup to interpret the increasingly distorted situation.

I don't give 10/10 often, but this is one of the rare movies that absolutely deserve it.
This isn't an action comic movie, this is a deep dive thriller.

This being an original Joker take, allows the creator the freedom that he has and he uses it perfectly.

When I saw the trailer at first, I wrote it off as another boring movie, but I have never been so wrong in my life. This is the first time I have watched a movie twice in one day. Absolutely my hats off to the cast and creator! This is an absolute masterpiece, a MUST WATCH!

Critics are panning this movie unfairly. I actually really enjoyed this movie despite the darkness and realism. Don't listen to the critics, go see it (and judge it) for yourself.

muy buena actuación por parte de Joaquin Phoenix, la he visto mas de una vez pero creo que exageran al catalogarla una "obra maestra", aun así, seas seguidor de los comics o no, el Joker es una película que recomiendo a cualquiera.

Metacritic is a joke, and this review page shows exactly why it is so. Critics are out of touch and overwhelmingly biased, and are thus quickly losing any credibility they might have had left. Their days are surely numbered.

That said, 'Joker' is a masterpiece and should surely be commended - although I am no fan of the man, it is irrefutable that Phoenix did a fantastic job and portrayed the Joker phenomenally. Definitely in my top 3 films of the 2010's.

Unfortunately this isn't just an origin story. 2019 joker is a Scorsese-ian quick paced masterpiece. It's deliberate script and demure violent tone seeks to get down to the depth of it's namesake villain. A carefully crafted descent into madness in a society already in the throes of exploitive capitalist violence gives the most chilling depiction of the joker since the charater consumed Heath Ledger. Joaquin Phoenix delivers an unhinged performance as the anti social traumatized Arthur who disenchanted with his life aspires to notoriety despite his own mediocrity. Following a succession of increasingly dispiriting events he begins to unravel just as the world around him burst open in unchecked anarchy . This movie is brilliant but as has been seen in similar art with white male protagonists who face mental illness whilst dealing with toxic masculinity, it has become canonized by the very audience it seeks to critique. Labeled a "dude bro, female manipulator,white supremacist " film isn't to far fetched. That might not be said by the films story itself but is a medium, through Arthur's self pitying isolation ,for their own failures. I do think the aforementioned consequence though further proves the films violent accuracy, just as Midsommar showed how easy it was to be brainwashed into a cult the joker shows us how easy it is to use trauma/mental illness to justify hurting other's. And that the joker shouldn't be admired or as his name suggests laughed at. But should instead be feared as his creation isn't fiction and instead manifests daily in the firm of school shooters,incels, misogynists and misanthropes. It's a warning, not a joke. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joker came out this weekend with mixed reviews, viewers seemed to (mostly) really enjoy it, while critics reviewed it poorly. I watched it Sunday night, and the theater was mostly empty. I for the most part enjoyed the film myself; with a huge exception. The characterization of the Joker was far from what I expected. Allow me to explain, and please, stick with me until the end. This article will contain some plot point spoilers, so be forewarned! If you have not yet seen the film (and I think that you should), please click away now and watch it first!
I’ll start with what I loved about Phoenix's Joker. His insanity was explained in a way that is believable, his delusions and his ‘condition’ help to shape and mold the character. That being said, I am a firm believer in never explaining the monster, when you do that it becomes less frightening. The way that the film explained it though (since it is an origin story).
The big issue that I took with the characterization is this: The Joker (eventually) will have battles of wits with The Batman, who is, for all intents and purposes, the greatest detective alive. Keeping this in mind, it is imperative that The Joker be equally as intelligent as, if not more than, Bruce Wayne. That is not The Joker that we meet in this film! It is as if the writers placed all the points into luck and none into intelligence! They painted the character as a bumbling fool, he never outsmarted the police, he never tricked the mayor, he just stumbled into a way out of each situation until the end of the film.
It feels like the writers did not understand the source material, or if they understood it, they simply did not care about it. There was no future proofing it. If they created in this Joker an idiot, there is no way that they can have that same Joker face Batman down the road. Like I said, I did enjoy the film mostly, I just took issue with the intelligence of (or lack of) the character.

Like Arthur, who sits in a dark room and fantasises about a better life, Phillips's Joker wants so badly to be something more than a superhero (or supervillain?) movie.
It tries to be a critique to modern society, but fails at being realistic.
It tries to be an elegy to nihilism, but its protagonist is more of a common criminal than an Übermensch.
It tries to be complex, but its black and white perspective makes it something you would expect in fanfiction. There is nothing new in Arthur's descent into madness and more importantly there is no real conflict. The viewer knows from the start what will happen, he knows that Arthur is supposed to be the victim who finally snaps and gets revenge on the real bad guys (namely everyone else). This movie feels like a "gut punch" to some people because of its emotional intensity - but is this feeling genuine? Or is there something more to it? The writers tried to make Arthur Fleck as real as possible, to make him a tragic character, but in the end it looks like they googled "Buttmonkey" and built him around that concept.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Featuring a riveting, fully realized, and Oscar-worthy performance by Joaquin Phoenix, Joker would work just as well as an engrossing character study without any of its DC Comics trappings; that it just so happens to be a brilliant Batman-universe movie is icing on the Batfan cake. You will likely leave Joker feeling like I did: unsettled and ready to debate the film for years to come. Expand

You feel Bruse Wayne's pain and love for the city. You sense the necessity of sacrifice of such social elites to save the city. Joker, on the other hand, tells the story from an entirely different angle. You get to see Gotham from the point of view of a commoner, who struggles at his day to day life, just like all the other commoners, struck by recession, having little to rely on, cheating and hurting others on daily basis just to get by. You get to see the City from the eyes of people who are routinely looked down upon by the Elite, either as trash, or as someone to be "changed" or "saved".

One suggestion for the viewer who is going to watch this movie:
Although from the surface level, the Gotham and the people portrayed in this movie might feels different from the impression you got from Batman movies. Remember that you are looking at the world from the perspective of the Joker. Watch with your existing understandings on those familiar characters in mind. Try and understand the contradictions that you see. Enjoy the movie with this mind set, you will end up with a much deeper appreciation over this piece of art.

Joker is, with no doubt, a dark movie, as what a movie named as Joker should be. Yet with the dark story, it intrigues deep contemplation. Moreover, the social problem this movie portrays actually reflects the ever growing conflicts and dissonance in multiple parts of our contemporary world on many interesting levels. In my humble opinion, this movie is the definition of MASTERPIECE.

People are going to get upset thinking the Joker is a protagonist that the movie is encouraging you to root for. I highly disagree. This movie is a character-study not asking you to sympathize the anti-hero but to understand him. If you thought you could go to an origin story about a villain and not be uncomfortable then I'm not sure how to console you. The movie is a masterpiece and DC absolutely needs to head in this direction to save us from the cursed Disney Marvel content that has no heart but ironically is praised by the critics. Expand

I was expecting Joaquin Phoenix's performance to be the only good thing about the movie but I got a lot more. Saying that Joaquin Phoenix was wonderful in his role would be stating the obvious, because pretty much everyone has praised his performance and I agree, he is honestly the best actor of the year so far. Both his acting and the writing of his character is what gives Arthur Fleck/Joker a realism that we have never seen before in any other interpretation of the character. The movie really made me get inside the mind of the title character, to see that he is not just "a crazy person" but that he was a human like anyone else. His journey to become the iconic villain is genuinely interesting, and made me care about the character. That is why I think that the character development and acting are the best things about the movie. Robert De Niro was also pretty good. I thought that he would "phone it in", but he ended up doing a nice job. The cinematography was also pretty good. There is a little amount of visual storytelling(not too much and it isn't like arthouse film level or anything) and the movie looks aesthetically beautiful to be honest.

My issues with this movie are with the script. There were things that felt really cliché and unoriginal. Some of the social commentary is really on the nose and obvious, and when it is included in a conversation it feels more like lazy exposition and takes away from the realism intended. Soms of the plot twists were pretty obvious and the movie treats them as big reveals.
So yeah, some script decisions were really a problem, at least for me, but other than that, this movie was reaaaally good. The gritty realism of Gotham City is done so right, making this a worthy "spiritual successor" to Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy.

It left me shaken for a while after watching it. The phoyography is remarkable along with its powerful soundrack.

Well after the scissors scene I think this movie became one of my favorites and really is a breath of fresh air in the stale film industry as of late.

It's not afraid to offend, takes **** at everyone, and Phoenix's performance, while it took a bit to evolve into what I would call great, it got there and left me wanting more, immediately.

I would say see this one in theaters!
