A mind blowing acting and one of the best screenplay and direction and a good Martin Scorsese's vibe just don't compare it to any of the Marvel movies because its way more better than marvels just no one accepts it.....

Joker is perhaps the best movie of the year and it is worth watching because it tells a story that is both truly inspired and original.

Wonderful acting by Joaquim Phoenix. This movie dives into the madness of a society that ignores and humiliates its poorest citizens, with some touches of humor, but most of the time really dark.

It was ok. Some of the highlights were that Phoenix carried the whole film, and comfortably. The cinematography was so elegant to show the descent of Fleck into the abyss, as if to instil empathy in the viewer, bravo.
The score was atmospheric and i also enjoyed the stylising although it could've been set in the 60's and not the 80's.

Didn't love the screenplay. There were a few plot holes and the story simply wasn't engaging enough. It's like they try make you empathic to the protagonist by showing you his run of bad luck and fortune but he actually rides it pretty well.
The bouts of ultra violence are sporadic yet seem forced. Ultimately, the portrayal of how his psychosis manifests is not believable. If the movie was just called "Fleck" i wouldn't have bothered. It's been shelved in the 'ok but don't need to see it again' part of my brain along with Taxi driver, Requiem for a dream , Leaving las vegas etc.
Disappointing.

In fact its not really a comic book movie, its more of a drama if anything. Tie ins with the Waynes and Gotham are pretty awesome because it sets the stage so i enjoyed that as a comic book fan. The movie is well acted, really well acted so credit should be given there. It was a bit overlong and dragged at points but the 3rd act somewhat made up for that. Its worth watching although it doesn't necessarily need to be watched ASAP in theaters, i would have been fine watching it on netflix later. Second viewing...Its even better on the second viewing, i might go see it a third time. Its def worth a watch so go see it lol Expand

Joker easily became one of my most anticipated films of 2019. I understood that it was taking a different approach, doing it's own thing outside of the Extended DC Universe. Reality can be a cruel mistress, along with life not being all sunshine and rainbows. It's unfortunate and sometimes we need movies to help us see that things can get crazier, it's unsettling though brutally beautiful there's no denying that. I'm not glorifying violence, though unfortunately when society, and communities fall. It's bound to happen, it's not going to be a light subject. It's going to be dark, grim, and dirty. Each kill or violent act we can see the madness growing until it reaches it's crescendo. To see the journey towards madness unfold with every inconvenience, every emotional breakdown it's heartbreaking, unpleasant, and it just makes you feel unnerved. Those aren't exactly bad traits for the performances just sell it. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a hauntingly painful display, we can see a broken man just scatter and rebuild into something more sinister. When all hope is lost, what more do you have to give? Zazie Beets as Sophie also did a great job with her role, acting as one of the few hope spots for poor Arthur, and De Niro playing a talk show host who might be a slimeball for his ridicule is no slouch either.

Before I heard people saying that you will either really love theThe Joker: A Postmodernist Elegy of the Our Age of Spiritual Deficiency The Joker hype has been sweeping through various media for a while. The reviews are highly polarised. Before I heard people saying that you will either really love the Joker, or really hate it. As someone who has been looking forward to the film ever since seeing the first trailer, finally yesterday I made my journey to the cinema and had a taste of the actual film. Well, in the end, I neither really love it nor hate it. If I have to describe my feeling, I would probably say…disappointed. So what is the Joker about? To sum up, it is a story about the absurdism of life, the death of hope, the absence of meaning, moral nihilism, political anarchy, and a celebration of chaos expressed and executed in an ultimate aesthetic ways via cinematic languages along with some of the most oppressive music I’ve heard in recent films. Much of these themes, if not all, reflect the fatal problematics of our post-modernist societies and cultures who envision the contemporary world as “an age of spiritual deficiency.” I don’t have any problems with films with a realist stand trying to explore the downfalls of our culture, society, and complexity of humanities. Actually I think that this is what good cinema should do. My problem with the Joker is exactly that it didn’t do any of these. Don’t get me wrong. I still think the Joker is a great art. Joaquin Phoenix’s acting is absolutely fantastic, the music and cinematography breathtaking. But it’s still poor character-writing in which the complexity of humanity is reduced to its pitiful negativities, as in the Joker, everyone is sick, mean and evil. The ones who see or believe in something good in life are either insane (Arthur’s mother and Arthur himself) or hypocritical (the upper-class men). The former was ridiculed and labeled funny, the latter only harvested social grudge. It is a sad movie. What is even sadder is the media sensation around the movie. Before the movie was marketed as an antithesis of the mainstream commercial films in the superhero genre. It is meant to be a “sub-culture,” a non-commercial thing. But ironically, look at it now! It is very much MAINSTREAM. Chatting with a friend who lamented over “the degradation of contemporary culture,” I also can’t stop thinking—what kind of society are we living in? What kind of mentality do our mass viewers have in order to “enjoy” and even “empathize” with such a depressing film? To give a final remark, I think the Joker is, although probably against its own will, a successful commercial popcorn movie, because there is no much there beyond the overwhelming sensual experience it evokes. Nevertheless, if one does think it is in any way different and more special than other commercial popcorn films, it is special only because it makes you feel so uneasy that you could hardly swallow any popcorns while watching it.

The only people “acting like the joker” are mentally ill people and I’m sorry to break it to you but a movie will not give you a mental illness. Expand

And it shouldn't be. The film should take itself seriously, and present the world from Arthur's perspective, which means it must be dark and grim, have poor humor, and often some strange dialogues. The transformation itself is masterfully handled, showing how bad it can actually go if you don't give people with mental health problems the right help, and at the same time plant the wrong idea in their head.
Phoenix deserves an Oscar nomination.
This is a masterpiece of a movie and it will be talked about for several years.

This movie was amazing. It did something I personally rarely see and that's the fact that I forgot Jaoquin was just playing a character; I actually thought the character was just a lunatic. The only downside is it is slow to start.

Its direction and photography are really pleasing and excellent. Joaquin Phoenix acting is spectacular. And it's a powerful competitor for the Best Actor in a Leading Role and the movie itself for the Best Picture award. When I saw this movie it remembered me a lot to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) due to its cinematic references to the classic. It was definitely worth the money and time. And after years of a lot of superhero movies coming from Marvel Studios, this one comes (in my opinion) as a very needful type of movie these days. A serious, dark, with a bit of funny moments movie. To see Arthur Fleck A.K.A. Joker, (Joaquin Phoenix) transform from a relatively "normal" guy to a crazy, obscure man because of all the revelations and life problems he has to go through, is just, as mentioned before, brilliant. Also adding that the script, was written as a new origin for Batman's enemy, the direction and acting from Phoenix and that its final minutes are just excellent, makes this movie as named in the title, an authentic masterpiece.

The music was perfect for every scene, the story line made the mood so much more dark,yet satisfying where the viewer can relate on a whole new level with the joker and Gotham’s citizens. I feel if this movie came out in 2020 before United state’s elections it could’ve brought a lot more viewers, but caused more issues with fights in theaters. The joker does have a point... people these days just aren’t civil any more.This definitely deserves a nomination or two though. Overall, couldn’t have done any better. Hopefully in the near future we see him battle Batman. The darkness is what will bring everyone in for sure. Expand

Joker is one of those films that is quite enjoyable but overall I kept thinking, 'Damn, why is everything happening Arthur in the same week.' It pushes itself to dark places but doesn't take enough risks to be as tortured and it wants to be.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An interesting film to think about and worth watching for the cultural factor alone. We know that Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is the Joker and this is his origin film so I won't talk about the outline of the plot in chronological order. The club scenes where he is laughing at the wrong times and he cannot tell his own jokes later on for his uncontrollable laughter are some of the most compelling scenes in the film. The production values were all good as you would expect from a big studio picture. I liked the approach of making the film darker and grittier than your standard comic book movie, you really felt as if Gotham was this volcanic cesspit ready to erupt. The buildup of the revolution with the talk of garbage everywhere and the government closing Arthur's program down and cutting his medication, his 'crazy' mother Penny Fleck (Frances Conroy), this makes the altercation on the train where he kills the guys all the more understandable and real. Thomas Wayne (Brett Cullen) calling the lower class clowns, I can see an outcry but this definitely felt overblown for me with how they then viewed the subway killings and this clown figure which is Arthur as some messiah for them to follow and rebel against the upper class. I did like how Thomas Wayne appeared less like this benevolent god as he is always seemingly portrayed though.

However, the film felt very predictable and soulless for me. I didn't believe that Arthur and Thomas Wayne were related because his mother was obviously mentally disturbed and Frances Conroy is the stereotypical unstable or strange woman (Six Feet Under' and 'American Horror Story'). There was every chance they were related however with the inscription on the back of the photo of Penny by "T.W", either way the question becomes irrelavant because we know Arthur is an unreliable narrator and his path has been set because it is a film about the Joker's origins so it had to be this way. The worst parts of the movie were with Sophie Dumond (Zazie Beetz) but not because of her perfromance, she performed as well as anyone in the film, it was a solid ensemble performance but she was let down with a poor screenplay as were the rest of the cast. They showed Arthur was delusional before his encounters with Sophie and you are expected to believe they embrace in her doorway and after his laughing fit at the comedy club, she is seen a short while after laughing with him? It was far too obvious. but it is meant to be a big revelation that he imagined it, of course he did, he is a creep.

The biggest thing for me is I felt as if I was watching some 'Taxi Driver'-'The King of Comedy' mish mash to the point where it was not its own film for me. I thought the whole time that I would rather be watching those films and whilst I largely liked the final act, it was again so obvious that Arthur was going to kill Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro) to the point where I lost interest almost completely and I was not overwhelmed by some euphoric cinematic cruscendo of a moment when it happened, because it was typical. Arthur gets his chaos anyway and it is a decent character arc, they should have ended the film with the scene before Arthur is running around the corridors because where Arthur says something along the lines of "You wouldn't get it" in the room with the woman and then the song comes on, that was the perfect time to end it, that was very good. I had mixed feelings on showing Bruce Wayne's (Dante Pereira-Olson) parents being killed, simply because I have seen it so many times but I guess it was an alright idea to connect it to Arthur's character arc. I don't think Joker needed an origin film and this should be a mystery aka 'The Dark Knight', this is not to say I went into the film with an automatic disliking for the film because the film did have its merits and I love to keep an open mind to every film obviously, I just did not see the point of this film before going in and I largely feel the same after seeing the film. 'Logan' did for me what this film could not, a dark comic book film that felt like it was its own thing. I do not think I could give it more than a six being truthful, it does not resonate with me but its foundations are solid. I would forget the hype it has got but I would also especially forget the people criticising the violence. There are more violent films that have been made and that will be made, it is 2019 and we do not need the incessant attempts by people in the media industry who are saying that forms of media, e.g. Video Games, Films, TV shows, Podcasts and so on are directly responsible for every violent or illegal act committed. The evidence proves it is quite the contrary and it is a minority of already disturbed individuals in most cases.
