To say that Todd Phillip’s ‘Joker’ is a dangerous movie is to give it too much credence, but it is a deeply offensive one. Ultimately, it’s just a silly superhero origin story, but it’s presented in such a ‘realist’ style, and so forcefully,To say that Todd Phillip’s ‘Joker’ is a dangerous movie is to give it too much credence, but it is a deeply offensive one. Ultimately, it’s just a silly superhero origin story, but it’s presented in such a ‘realist’ style, and so forcefully, that people might actually take it as a serious movie. It has all the style and surface veneer of a classic 1970s movie, as has been pointed out by numerous reviewers. Visually, it can’t be faulted for its cinematography. It’s the script and characterisation that are lacking. Nobody would go into a film based on a comic book expecting a serious character study, but, by tackling the genre in the style of such a movie, that is what you are falsely enticed to expect. Unfortunately, that is not what you get. The viewer is presented with a mentally ill man, living with his disabled mother, who becomes a deranged serial killer who incites mass violence. This could have been an in-depth psychological exploration of one man’s descent into the maelstrom, that gives the viewer some insight into how a corrupt and insensitive society can push a vulnerable individual over the edge, as those well-known seventies movies did to some extent. Such a narrative requires nuance, sensitivity, compassion and tact, or risk demonising the vulnerable. The very lack of any of the aforementioned does just that – it sets back the mentally ill fifty years or more. What we have here is a series of episodic vignettes – admittedly in the style of a comic book – in which, through a series of gross oversimplifications, the put-upon protagonist slowly loses his grip on reality and descends into graphic violence. Each prior vignette is treated in such a superficial manner that they serve merely as lame justification for the gory set pieces.

Joaquin Phoenix’s performance is intense and physical, but, in the absence of any human depth, proves to be nothing more than a leering caricature. Lingering, over-stylised shots of his manic posturing does not equate to a meaningful performance, however fully the actor has thrown himself into the part. Instead, when the movie reaches its riotous denouement, rather than a criticism of the society that led to his downfall, we are presented with a film that seems to celebrate and encourage the very ills that incites his violence. Points of comparison are ‘Assassination Nation’ and, to a lesser extent, ‘Spring Breakers’. It is this very confusion, simultaneously vilifying the vulnerable and championing them as an anarchic anti-hero, undercutting the capitalist ruling class, that serves to further stigmatise the mentally ill. At the risk of sounding alarmist, younger viewers - older teenagers and those in their early twenties - the very audience that such a film is aimed at, or anyone else with a naïve lack of understanding of mental health, for that matter, could come away from this movie with less empathy for the isolated and marginalised than they went in, thinking the film is cool, when it’s far from that. For that reason, it is reckless and misjudged, but what should we expect from the director of puerile frat movie ‘Old School’ and laddy stag film ‘The Hangover’?… Expand

The goals are far from being the same. In the present case, it is not about glorifying a killer as if he was a hero, but rather a precise investigation on what exactly is causing so much trouble in people's heads, these days. Mental illness rating is increasing, and this is not arbitrary.
But it is not like there are a bunch of Jokers out there. Arthur Fleck is unique. He has serious conditions that have nothing to do with "incells" or "white people problems". And as we watch the movie, we can feel like him. We can feel what is like to suffer what he suffers. His unique and extreme conditions. It is two hours of how is it like to be utterly depressive, and it makes you reconsider how you treat people and how horrible and sadistic society can be without even noticing.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film messes with your emotions. There are scenes where you are not sure if you should laugh or feel sad (kind of how Fry from Futurama was conflicted with fear and joy when sentenced to death by snu-snu). There are moments that make you laugh (if you like dark humor like me). The comedy is similar to Joan Cornella’s morbid comedic illustrations. Joaquin Phoenix’s acting makes the character believable. His unique laughter sounds a bit painful and sad. When the situation goes south, the actor does a great job of performing the fight or flight behavior. Joaquin has an interesting and kind of silly way of running that fits the clown character appropriately (because he is a clown, it makes sense to me). The character is not a simple, black and white personality, instead he is a complex multi-layered individual that makes him entertaining to observe.
The movie is realistic/grounded. Corrupt behavior is created and not born and there is tons of research to back this up. The Joker was not born with a corrupt mind. The film does a great job showing how the environment molded his corrupt behavior. Thomas Wayne’s portrayal is believable because someone in his position of wealth and power would behave the way he does (although there are a few wealthy people out there that are cool). The film has high quality violence (laugh out loud). This movie makes the violence feel shocking and serious. Other movies have too much violence that it starts to feel cheap and not a big deal (these films are still fun to watch though).
This is one of the reasons why I love video games like The Last of Us or movies like Coco because they put plenty of effort in all of the departments (story, character development, believable acting, and an effective atmosphere). It is a memorable experience, it has substance, and it made me feel like this **** matters. Movie of the year for me.… Expand

Joker, a highly anticipated film of 2019 directed from the man who brought you The HangoverWanna hear a joke? What do you get when the media attempts to slander a film against their own nonsensical agenda? You get a damn near masterpiece! Joker, a highly anticipated film of 2019 directed from the man who brought you The Hangover trilogy, Todd Phillips and starring multi award winning/nominee Joaquin Phoenix as the infamous jester of crime play into one of this year's best cinema. Truly, this movie is a must see for mature audiences and must I say, there is no danger to concern one's self with as there has been far more violently created pictures before. The story is carried vigorously throughout by Mr. Phoenix as a mentally ill man who descends further into his own madness; is well thought and wonderfully played. A multitude of emotion this movie may convey to it's viewer as it will range from dark and sad to some humor with moments of joy when the character reaches his downfall. Much like proven personality disorders that an individual can wildly change their current state of emotion within a short period of time, this movie understands the topic of discussion and is something I appreciate. Robert De Niro, though a short screen time; gives a fair performance and for the remaining supporting cast does equally well. And composer, Hildur Guðnadóttir who also elevated her work into the hit miniseries Chernobyl, brings a harmonious though haunting score that gives the character Arthur Fleck/Joker balletic virtuosity. The only fault I can suggest of the movie is that I feel the protagonist's bullying can be seen as a bit cliché. Again, if you appreciate good filming to an artistically sense of purpose similarly to that of a Martin Scorsese piece, this is a definite must see!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. JOKER is an absolute cinematic masterpiece. It pains me that so many "critics" rip into this movie for absolutely absurd reasons. This film is probably the best "superhero" movie produced since 2008. Of course, it isn't a superhero film, but it is made by DC with a comic character as the protagonist. I have seen this movie TWICE and I am more impressed with this solo project than I am with the entirety of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and DC Extended Universe AND 20th Century Fox X-Men Universe combined. Movies like The Dark Knight and Logan have proved superhero movies can be as much a brilliant art-piece as the most beautiful films ever made (Films like The Green Mile, Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, etc..), and so does JOKER.
Joaquin Phoenix is goddamn phenomenal in the role, he absolutely carries this character the whole way through and I could not see a single other person playing this character so well. Joaquin terrifies me in this movie; it's honestly insane how crazy and scary he is, while also evoking a ton of sympathy from me in the opening act.
If I could describe his portrayal in the best way I could, I would say: at the start of this film, he makes me want to curl up and cry. At the end of this film, he makes me want to cry for an entirely different reason. And that's not even all down to Joaquin.
Todd Phillips has crafted the PERFECT comic book movie in my eyes. The camera work, the directing, the writing, the story, the plot twists... It is all amazing. This film truly messes with you in the most incredible way a movie could with some very Fight Club style plot twists that left me stunned. I remember being sat in the cinema for my first viewing gawking at the whole thing with my hands behind my head and my eyes widened watching in disbelief and horror and pure amusement and entertainment. And on my second viewing, I remember being so entertained by the amount of things you pick up after the first watch: all the dots that connect together, all the foreshadowing and clues and hints... It's truly magnificent how a movie can make me walk out giving it a 10/10 TWICE. I'd be willing to say on second viewing it is a lot more entertaining than the first viewing in multiple ways, which is surprising seeing as I left the first time utterly mesmerized. To say the body count in this film is rather low, the violence and brutality is extremely high. It's not like any other basic blockbuster that presents killing as an easy one-shot and dead scenario... No. This film presents killing as insanely harsh and difficult. Even the character Arthur Fleck shooting someone with a handgun once comes across as terrifying, in one of the final scenes. And that scissors kill was absolutely paralyzing. I sat there in my seat in utter dread and... well, horror. I don't know how else to describe it. HORROR.
The critics are saying this film glamorizes violence and many other ridiculous things. But, at its core, no it does not glamorize violence. It discourages it, if anything. It discourages a lot of things. This is a very accurate representation of the every man who is constantly picked on and wronged by society. It presents the world outside of the ivory tower every movie protagonist seems to live in. I know a lot of people like those that pick on Arthur Fleck in this film. And the film should be a lesson for people to not act like this at all, otherwise extreme events may ensue. And it glamorizing violence is a ridiculous statement, as it presents killing as horrifying, dark and difficult. It shook me to the core seeing deaths in this movie, and definitely gave me the opposite opinion on "cool, brutal" kills in movies, like in the John Wick movies. Now, I cannot talk about this film without briefly mentioning Gotham City. The best representation of Gotham City in any DC movie.
The Dark Knight Trilogy presented it as gritty and chaotic, but again that was through the eyes of Batman. And it was always full of explosions and action and riots. The Tim Burton movies presented it as an over-the-top, steampunk and bleak area. The DCEU presents it as... Nothing. And the Arkham games present it as gritty and crime infested. JOKER presents it as an awful place to live, full of stuck-up, rich pricks who pick on the less fortunate. Much like any city, but it gets its own character. It's compact, it's corrupted, and it's dirty. It's like a mirror image of Arthur Fleck's mental state. It's run down and it's getting worse and worse without the help of Thomas Wayne, who acts like he cares about the events occurring within the city and the protagonist, but really he's selfish and only cares for himself and his family. It's incredibly poetic.

And the scene with the Waynes... I needn't say much but... It's possibly the best representation of the murders made, and the poetry of Joker's birth happening with Batman's birth is incredible.
The ending, too, left me speechless and in awe.
This film is very well deserving of a 10/10… Expand

I honestly don't understand how some people can rate this movie a 10. (Even Goodfellas is not a 10, and I LOVE!!!! Goodfellas) Are they robo-reviews or from people who have never seen a movie before in their life and are just awestruck at the marvels of the cinema? I would have given this a 1 just to try to add balance, but 5 seems adequate. Here's why: Would I ever watch this movie movie again? short answer, NO; long answer NO.
Was it terrible, no, was it watchable, as a family drama, barely (not a big fan of family dramas)
Anyway, not a 10. Jacqueline Phoenix, Az. does a nice job at playing a tormented/delusional person. Cinematography was great, but that does not in itself make for a great movie. ( I can't really recall a set piece that stands out except for the ling stairs in the promo photo)… Expand

I thought (don't know why, honestly) this was going to be a progressive critique of today, trying to make us hate ourselves for our "privilege" or our attitudes, and how the rise of a madman is "our" fault somehow. Quite the contrary, it focuses on the Joker and how someone can take (and finish) the slow, safe and utterly dangerous descent into madness. Which is, as Ledger said, one little push away, but in order to be that way, it needs the guidance of someone who has walked the walk and been through every step.
I wanted to hate this movie. I hated it for moths, even before I knew how it was going to be. I was wrong. For the performances, the story, the screenplay, the photography, the symbolism, the score (the score!), the soundtrack (THE SOUNDTRACK!) and what it ultimately is: the story of the Joker, as it should, or at least could, be.… Expand

“Joker” is a lot like the musical “Wicked.” Both offer backstories for iconic characters. “Wicked” retells “The Wizard of Oz”; “Joker” explains the genesis of Batman’s arch-nemesis. “Joker,” however, is “Wicked” without the upbeat music,“Joker” is a lot like the musical “Wicked.” Both offer backstories for iconic characters. “Wicked” retells “The Wizard of Oz”; “Joker” explains the genesis of Batman’s arch-nemesis. “Joker,” however, is “Wicked” without the upbeat music, the dancing, the redemptive friendships of key characters or songs with original, cleverly observational lyrics.

What makes this film worth watching is Joaquin Phoenix, once again fully immersed in a troubled character. When Phoenix steps into the role of Joker, his devotion to the role is absolute, his commitment is complete. His presence is so commanding that the moviegoer simply can’t look away. With the exception of Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight series, “Joker” soars high above the other films that have addressed this comic book series. Some will even see elements of Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver” at various points. Director Phillips clearly aspires to offer much more than most of the films in this franchise. Because of Phoenix, he succeeds. The fatal flaw for “Joker” is that it is a one-note tune. In the vision of Writer/Director Todd Phillips, life is tedium interspersed with cruelty and violence, some of it random, some intentional. With one small exception, any sense of kindness or human connection is just a hallucination. In other words, apparently, it’s 42nd Street in New York City in the 1970s.

Against this barren landscape, Phillips engages in a little social commentary – the impact of the disintegrating mental health safety net, the grinding consequences for most when they are caught in the ever-widening gap between rich and poor. Clearly, these are topics with current relevance, but the subjects receive only glancing blows, not deep consideration.

What’s more frustrating, though, is that the script assumes that offering a chronology of events about Joker eliminates any obligation to engage in actual character development. We are given information about Joker’s tragic childhood, we observe him in his occupation as a low-level clown (in case we don’t get the point, the song “Send in the Clowns” is deployed to underline the idea), we see the consequences of his complete social isolation. But, critically, we never see Joker evolve in any way. He is no more self-aware than when the film begins. He’s just a tragic character lurching from one day to the next, moving closer and closer to a boiling point, heading toward a conclusion as obvious as it is unfortunate.

“Joker” is depressing, frustrating, upsetting, powerful and riveting. You can’t take your eyes off Joaquin Phoenix and the spectacle he ultimately creates. Sometimes, you may wish you had.… Expand
