It's nice to get such a refreshing stand-alone movie that breaks free from the typical superhero formula and isn't tied to a cinematic universe. This doesn't feel like a superhero movie at all; it's a deep character study and a cautionary tragic tale of a man pushed to madness via nature and nurture; it just happens to be set in Gotham around arguably comic's most iconic villain. Phoenix is unbelievable and completely disappears into the role (an Oscar-worthy performance). The cinematography and tone of the movie is great and harkens back to the Scorsese films of the 80s. If you're expecting a superhero action movie this may not be for you. Approach it with an open mind and you'll love it. Masterpiece.… Expand

Fortunately for us, this time it did happen, and how breathtaking was the ride. Many could start by praising Joaquin Phoenix's astonishing acting, the delicious screenwriting, the destroying cinematography, or the exquisite soundtrack that comes with it. It's all of the above at once, playing with our emotions as we slowly ascend to the deepest of depressions with the character. A film not for the faint of heart, but for those who thrill on high emotions and reflexion.… Expand

Joker: “If it was up to me I prefer my life to be, multiple choice.” Batman The Killing Joke, that has to be the most famous Joker quotes of all time and I prefer the origin to be this not being dropped into acid. I’m getting this off hereJoker: “If it was up to me I prefer my life to be, multiple choice.” Batman The Killing Joke, that has to be the most famous Joker quotes of all time and I prefer the origin to be this not being dropped into acid. I’m getting this off here BUY THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW. Ok getting that out I’m going to start here the music is so damn good, it’s so atmospheric and makes you believe that you are in Gotham. The cinematography just God man, the way this movie is shot is so beautiful the way the colors are amazing. Now the elephant in the room Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic he is Arthur Fleck and he is so so so so so so so good, just how committed this man is to playing the Joker is amazing he lost a little over 50 pounds, he researched the iconic laugh which is amazing. People who have played Joker in the past have gone mad going back to Heath Ledger he died after the movie came out, Joaquin almost went crazy because of everything he did. I can’t give this movie enough praise Todd Phillips was best known as the director of the Hangover movies which are comedy’s and directs the best character study I have ever seen. When I first saw the first trailer I thought it was going to suck, then the second trailer came out and I wanted to see it, reviews came out hearing that the movie got a 7 minute standing ovation is crazy then seeing the film for myself I now understand it’s worth it. Just buy this movie right now it’s so worth your money.… Expand

Also ignore critics on this one because they are wrong, they are afraid that this movie will cause violence and after two years it hasn't and if you are afraid to see this movie because its too violent, in my opinion it really isn't.

I think people greatly overvalue this movie because the protagonist is one of the most important villains in history, but if we change the name? Would they continue to give him the same attention that they gave him at the time?

Todd Phillips, Warner Brothers, and DC come together to create one of the greatest films of the decade, and of the supervillain genre. Supported by excellent performances by the legendary Robert De Niro and aspiring Zazie Beetz, Joker is a beautifully crafted film in almost every respect. Swift writing, haunting cinematography, and a beautifully-written score allow Joker to be one of Hollywood's most well-rounded films in years.… Expand

The origins of Joker are darker than we thought, his monologue in the end pretty much explains how a man like Joker, can born. Perfect film. And if you ask me, that is this better or Parasite, I'd say I love both equally, but Joker is the more Oscar-compatible film and that's why lots of people were surprised by the fact that Parasite won the award. Enjoy both film, praise their merits and appreciate them!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is just perfect. Pheonix did one of the best comic book character acting ever. The movie perfectly expressed and conveyed how joker was and why joker turned into what he was rather than just saying oh he is a bad guy as most movies did. The story was just phenomenal and perfectly depicts society as it is. The last scene where the city goes into chaos after he murders the tv show host was just amazing, the redemption and the blood smile were just raw and powerful. And yea the Waynes were killed again but it was just amazing.… Expand

One of those rare occasions when a blockbuster makes complete sense and is a pleasure to watch from start to end. This is purely subjective, but I'm immensely grateful that there is very little FX and an abundance of stellar acting.

I also believe that the recent uptick in Joker haters is violently unwarranted. When I saw Joker for the first time, I walked out of the theater thinking, "That's got to be one of my favorite movies I've ever seen." I still thoroughly enjoy the film, but I find myself slowly falling out of love with this movie. Believe me, I still think it is a fantastic film. However, I feel that Joker is slowly falling into obscurity as a niche film. I don't see it as a Joker movie, but more a story of mental illness in an unforgiving world. Truly a fantastic movie, and I'm hoping the sequel brings the story back into the spotlight.… Expand
