First time i am seeing the real joker in movies. His laugh, his dance, him being completely unpredictable and the chaotic situation where a joker thrives are the ways i saw joker in cartoon. First time Todd Phillips introduces us the real JOKER .
Joker is not super smart as shown in The Dark Knight, he thrives in chaos and he creates it by being unpredictable.... From the rating it received, i know there are plenty more people with my point of view...

Keep Joaquin as joker, he is the best suited for this role...… Expand

La ambientación, banda sonora y violencia genera una gran complementación y el film se hace más sólido y se consolida aún más. La actuación de Joaquin Phoenix da para un oscar, realmente se lo merece. Incluso la risa tuvo que aprender. Esa "performance" que realizó en este film ya es increíble, no se necesita más nada de él, pues ya se comprobó que es un gran actor y está hecho para ganarse un oscar. Esta actuación que nos brindó hizo que la película sea mucho más interesante y triste, contemplábamos cómo su enfermedad mental crecía a pasos agigantados. El clímax está muy bien logrado y ejecutado, es lo mejor que tiene el film. En cuanto a ambientación, se mostraba lo peor de las calles de NY, los lugares más lúgubres y oscuros. Hay algunas escenas en particular que son completamente inquietantes, pero que a su vez, son espectaculares. Joker, sin dudas, es un film muy sólido y estructurado, a base de la notable actuación de Joaquin Phoenix y su violencia explícita y dura, además de sus complementos adicionales como la banda sonora, escenografías, los planos y ambientación generan que la película sea aún más perfecta. En pocas palabras, es una película impresionante.… Expand

Cinematography is superb, but this is not the Joker. Instead of a Nietzschean Superhuman, the destroyer of morality, the angel of chaos we get a pathetic sick loser getting wrecked by ordinary surcumstances. Wasted acting potential.

Mostly since a lot of what they were doing was just trying to copy Marvel, ranging from an attempt at their own Guardians of the Galaxy with Suicide Squad or hiring Avengers scribe Joss Whedon to finish filming of the Justice League. But finally it seems DC has found its footing by focusing less on an extended universe and more on just making good standalone movies with tones playing to the strengths of their characters. We saw it earlier this year with the wholesomely hilarious Shazam and we’re definitely seeing it here with a film that completely upends all of our expectations for the comic book genre through Joker, a character drama which completely reinvents of DC’s most iconic villains.

Taking place in a 70s version of Gotham (albeit a version of Gotham which looks strikingly similar to a 70s New York) the film follows Arthur Flecks descent into becoming the Joker. When we first meet him he’s already in a bad position. He’s stuck in a dead end job as a part time clown, caring for his frail mother in a rundown apartment, he’s taking seven different drugs to deal with his depression and keeps bursting into uncontrollable fits of laughter to the point where he’s in physical pain. Basically he’s just one bad day from complete lunacy and it seems that life is constantly beating him down to give him that one last push over the edge.

Even the few lifelines that Arthur does have to his sanity seem to be brutally slashed over the course of the film, with many actions completely outside of Arthur’s control such as cuts to social care further isolating him from society. Bus riders treat him with disdain, kids beat him down in the street and we even get an interesting portrayal of Thomas Wayne as a snobby rich guy completely detached from the real problems faced by society. Though the way that almost every character in the city is completely unsympathetic is arguably done to a fault, as many characters in the film do end up being one dimensional characters with the sole goal of furthering Arthur’s descent. Though in showing us Arthur’s descent, Joaquin Phoenix delivers one of the greatest performances of the year so far. The Joker has so many great portrayals, ranging from the pure chaos of Heath Ledger to the comically homicidal showmanship of Mark Hamil, but Phoenix has still found his own way to leave a mark on the character by layering him with a sense of tragedy as we see the pain that goes towards creating a maniac. It’s one of those incredible performances where the transformation is so fluid, but so monumental that we go from sympathising with a man beaten down by a cruel system to terrified at a madman capable of tearing a city down. There are so many small touches that really stood out to me like Joaquin’s slow transformation from self hatred in to turning his anger on to those around him and that laugh which constantly sounds as if he’s about to burst in to tears. Though the part of his performance that struck me the most was the extreme weight loss Joaquin underwent to portray the Joker. Beyond giving us an interesting insight in to his self-harming nature at the start of the film, there’s a level of visual discomfort whenever he’s on screen in a similar way to Chritian Bale in The Machinist. Beyond seeing his unnaturally frail boney structure, Joaquin said that the extreme weight loss gave him a sense of fluidity throughout the film which really showed throughout the film as Phoenix always appeared to move with such an unnatural liveliness. Some of the films most striking moments are some dancing sequences scattered throughout the film where the Jokers homicidal nature starts to peak out with as his rhythm begins to match up with the films haunting score. It’s somewhat ironic that the film received so many criticisms for its sympathetic portrayal of a psychopath given that the same criticisms were previously thrown at the films like Fight Club and Taxi Driver that influenced it. Regardless, it’s important to realise that at no point does this film ever glorify violence. And the film does get us to empathise with the pain that Arthur goes through during the film, however it never condones his actions. A lot of credit needs to go to Warner Bros for being willing to provide such free roam to create such a chilling vision of one of their most valuable characters. And even more credit needs to go to Todd Phillips himself, who spent a year campaigning to get his r-rated character study off the ground at a time when action spectacles dominate the screens. Whilst he does cover similar ground to the Scorsese films that inspired him, this isn’t just a carbon copy and he really brought a unique vision to the Joker. I just hope that following this films success, Warner Bros continues to experiment with the rest of DC’s pantheon.… Expand

Then, the reviews started to drop. Still wasn't sure if I would likeDC can STILL give us a compelling movie. Wasn't quite hyped about it, I mean, an origin story of a villain made by the director of Hangover movies; what could I even expect? Then, the reviews started to drop. Still wasn't sure if I would like it. And after I saw it, it was way better than I thought it would be. I won't call it a masterpiece, but it definitely is on my top 3 DC films of all times! .
.
Good : There's hardly anything bad about Joker. Joaquin Phoenix does a great job of bringing the character into life. Rather than a typical superhero/supervillain origin story, we get to see a psychological drama + horror, and thank God, we got that. I love the genre, I love films like Infinity War, Days of Future Past, Endgame and Raimi's Spider-Man. But occasionally, it's really good to take a break from such films. It's, kind of, in the category of films like Unbreakable. Basically, the movie is (no spoilers ahead) Arthur, being tormented by the society and being a mentally unstable loner, loses his mind after the constant torment and after that, all hell breaks loose. That's all the movie shows. It would be quite difficult to give a really good story for a plot like this, since there are many movies with this kind of plot (awfully crappy ones included). I completely liked this movie, means the screenplay and direction worked for me. You can feel for Arthur, whenever the movie asks you to. You want to root for Arthur, but you know that it will mean some incredibly terrible things will happen. We see him slowly transition into Joker, and when he completely turns into the Joker it is worth a round of applause. We feel good as well as terrified with the actions of the Joker whenever he snaps and crazy stuff happens. Without getting into spoilers, I would say - in short - that it has many quotable lines and each of them make sense. Whatever Joker (a psychopath) says is more realistic than what a sane person says. And obviously has some sick, terrifying and gruesome Joker moments that a proper Joker movie should have. If it's not clear by the trailers, there's no Batman here. But (again, no spoilers) it does have some Batman references to support the movie. It could've created a mess and might have felt like a shoehorned plotline, but it plays out as a proper support for the main story and the transition of Arthur into Joker. .
.
Mixed : It is a good thing that the movie has a 70s psycho horror vibe to it. But, it could've been more original. Like many others have pointed out, it's similar to Taxi Driver by Scorsese. While it wasn't a copy and paste of Taxi Driver, but some parts make it obvious that the movie was inspired by Taxi Driver. Not necessarily a bad thing, the movie has the elements as a homage-ish way, but looking at how well made it was, it could've been slightly more original. And, it may feel a bit slow for some people, though it's worth your time. .
.
My take on the controversy : It can happen that some morons might watch this film and cause violence. It can happen with any violent movie. But, even though it justified the Joker's actions, it doesn't show them to be right. Speaking of violence, it's just psychologically compelling horror. It's less violent than Deadpool, but feels more violent as it's a serious movie. So, glorification and siding with a psychopath is a complete and total f**king bulls**t. .
.
Conclusion : It's a must watch. You don't need to follow any of the DC movies to understand it. But do not expect it to be a typical superhero action film with CGI battles and a spectacle. Wrong expectations might ruin the experience. Else, I found it to be better than The Dark Knight Rises. And TDKR is one of my favorites in the genre. If a Nolan movie is replaced by another movie in my list, you may consider it to be great. One last thing, people causing violence because of Joker would be equivalent to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly inspiring three people to have a gun duel for some gold. .
.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Kacau gilanya! Kacau sintingnya! Kacau edannya! Jelas salah satu produk Warner Bros. terbaik tahun ini, bahkan dekade ini. “Joker” tegas, berani, provokatif, emosional, sekaligus mengerikan. Jika “Midsommar” sekadar mengganggu batin, “Joker” dengan nyata mengacaukan jiwa dan pikiran kalian ke tingkat di mana kalian menyadari turut delusional akibat sebuah film.

Kewarasan kalian akan dipertanyakan kala menghadapi untuk harus bersikap simpatik terhadap karakter ini sebagai dampak dari kesehatan mentalnya atau mempertanyakan tindak kejahatannya yang semakin tidak terkendali. Tapi itulah Joker, bernama asli Arthur Fleck, salah seorang karakter antagonis legenda dan fenomenal dari sebuah karya fiksi. Film ini menghantarkan kita cerita lahirnya kriminal tersebut menjadi psikopat nomor 1 di Gotham. Di balik kisah asal muasalnya, “Joker” menyimpan lebih banyak isu dari yang dibayangkan. Sampah menumpuk di mana-mana, aksi berujung ricuh mengisi jalanan, hingga elit politik dan media tidak tahu diri yang terus meninggi di tengah kalang kabut segala konflik ini. Menonton “Joker” yang penuh ironi seakan menyaksikan dengan miris cerminan kondisi negara kita saat ini. “Perasaanku saja atau di luar sana semakin menggila?” tanya Joker.

“Joker” memang berhasil menjadi sebuah tontonan kritik sosial yang provokatif. Namun, film ini punya isu lebih dari itu. “Joker” adalah sebuah drama-psikologis yang berdampak kuat pada kondisi mental personal seorang insan manusia, baik itu sang karakter maupun kita sebagai penonton.

Joaquin Phoenix dalam penampilannya yang terus memukau di setiap film akhirnya tiba di puncaknya dalam film ini. Upayanya untuk menurunkan berat badan drastis tidak sia-sia. Sebagai Arthur, Phoenix dalam postur-postur mengerikan memutar anggota badannya seolah tulang-tulangnya terbuat dari plastik. Dan bagian terbaik adalah ketika ia berada di bawah tata rias badut dan tertawa maniak yang cukup untuk membuat bulu badan kalian tegak. Ini namanya penampilan ikonik! Kenapa Oscar masih begitu lama? Phoenix butuh penghargaan itu sekarang juga!

Mau bagaimanapun, “Joker” tetap sebuah film yang diadaptasi dari karakter ‘villain’ Batman. Todd Phillips yang selain menjabat sebagai sutradara tapi juga salah satu penulis naskahnya melakukan segenap usaha untuk memasukkan Bruce Wayne alias Batman ke dalam film ini. Pada akhirnya, “Joker” memang sebuah prekuel kisah hidup Batman. Namun, kita semua tetap tahu bahwa “Joker” bukanlah film buku komik biasa. Ini adalah film dari komik yang menyakitkan dan realistis.

Phillips mengaitkan Arthur dengan Wayne dalam sejumlah narasi dan momen yang mengejutkan. Ditambah beberapa adegan brutal bersimbah darah dan iringan musik pengiring mencekam dari Hildur Guðnadóttir, semua itu membuat kita sedikit teralihkan — atau malah kian stres — dari alur “Joker” yang sudah lebih dari cukup membuat kepala berat.

Phillips yang dulunya menangani trilogi komedi-dewasa “The Hangover” sempat disangsikan untuk menggarap proyek ambisius ini. Namun setelah menyaksikan film ini, aku senang Phillips bisa mengaplikasikan keahliannya dengan baik dalam ‘humor’. Kita tahu bukan bahwa kehidupan itu perbedaan tipis antara komedi dan tragedi?

Arthur di awal adalah sosok yang periang. Masih ada pula beberapa orang yang setidaknya melingkupinya dengan energi positif. Seperti ibunya yang renta sakit-sakitan tapi sangat menyayangi Arthur. Atau tetangganya, Sophie Dumond (diperankan oleh Zazie Beetz yang sayang tidak mendapat jatah pendalaman karakter lebih) yang sedikit menaruh perhatian. Dan ketika semua hal telah mencapai batasnya dan pilihan moral Arthur berubah, tidak ada yang bisa menghentikannya sebagai Yang Mulia Pangeran Badut Kejahatan dalam 15 menit terakhir film yang luar biasa!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A dark movie in every way. Folks that are bombing on it see this and it frankly depresses them and robs them of hope. After seeing it, I left the theater knowing what the Joker may have been feeling, likewise depressed and hopeless. The gaps left in the Jokers life story before we come to where he has arrived in the movie are easy enough to fill in just because it's the same sad story we have played witness to on the web and in the news for decades now. It's a cruel, cruel world indeed. A movie with a message many folks have obviously already tuned into. It asks if maybe we should all buckle up, this could become a bumpy ride. Thought provoking for sure!… Expand

'Joker' doesn't let you leave cinema without putting a smile on your face! (Or perhaps some of you will leave the theater with millions of possible theories for the ending)
As a Ledger's Joker fan, I'm now also a fan of Joaquin Phoenix's -'Joker' doesn't let you leave cinema without putting a smile on your face! (Or perhaps some of you will leave the theater with millions of possible theories for the ending)
As a Ledger's Joker fan, I'm now also a fan of Joaquin Phoenix's - because he is the Joker. They both are.
From his Oscar-worthy (and more) performance of this legendary character, to the cinematography, and dare I say, everything else - the movie is either a 110 out of 100, or nothing. It takes a person who understands what they're watching here to love this movie. This movie is everything to those who get it, and nothing to those, who don't want to try to understand it. I loved every single scene. It was extraordinary. It was brilliant. 'Joker' is a masterpiece you haven't seen yet.
It is a "dream come true" piece of art, something that will leave you wondering for hours, days, and if you're a movie-lover like me, decades. It is that captivating & magnificently beautiful!
Joker is the film of the decade, and I'm not alone who would say this.… Expand

The film is an ominous take on the origin of the famous DC villain, The Joker. The film is a spectacular display of mental illness, violence and societal divide. But at its core what makes the film so amazing is Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of The Joker. His eerie performance makes you sympathise with his character but at the same time chastise the decisions he makes as he descends into insanity. The combination of Todd Phillips's Martin Scorsese inspired direction and Joaquin Phoenix's outstandingly realistic performance really make this film something to behold. A much watch for fans of the Batman mythos and fans of film in general.… Expand

So if you're tired of MAN BAD, WAHMEN PERFECT being forced down your throat every single time you try to watch a movie or a TV show, Joker is for you. Dark, grimy, bleak, honest and real, the way no WOKE movie could ever be, Joker is an oasis of cinematic art in a wasteland of political fanaticism. Go watch it at once. The negative reviews of "professional" critics should tell you just what a rare gem this movie is.
Just ten more years to wait for the next good Hollywood movie, if the past decade is anything to go by. Thanks for ruining entertainment, SJWs everywhere!… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw Joker today. I’m not sure what I was expecting but I was very disturbed while watching this movie. I disagree with many who assess the Joker as an anti-hero. There’s absolutely nothing even remotely heroic about this character. In fact, I think the movie is commenting on how absurd the notion is at the end of the movie. The Joker character does nothing out of a political motivation. It’s all reaction and anger. Sure, he enjoys the attention it gets him but to call him a hero out of the insanity spiral that he rides to the end is absurd. The movement he sparks is entirely accidental and watching the crowd cheer him at the end is the pinnacle of deluded idiocy. They’ve turned a psychotic murderer into some kind of folk hero and I think the scene was intentionally meant to show this craziness for what it is. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate this movie. It was harrowing to watch this man come apart and descend into madness. It was well made but I think everyone is missing the point of Joker. He’s a villain and this movie show how he got there and how ridiculous it is to view him as anything else but a villain.… Expand
