The music by Hildur Guðnadóttir makes you almost touch the feeling of every scene, so we might feel sometimes sad, angry, happy even confused and surprised by the things that we can see during the movie. This elements got together for the Joker's apparition, and when we finally see him every scene feels so different. This new Joker aren't an anarchist or a gangster, this version was created to be the most human between the humans, Phillips got that way and he showed us that. The beautiful photography, the colors, every take, were made to complement the wonderful story and they helped so well on the purpose of the movie. That purpose/message that we can understand from the movie isn't just the violence or the fight against the richest searching for a more fair world; the message goes beyond that, exploring the hard life (of mentally ill) and making us reflect about how we (you, me, everybody) treat those that are different to us in a world that falls piece by piece (not so different to ours). The violence and the fights were a consequence of that, but the origin is in the real treat with people. That was Joker to me, a confused but pleasant (and amazing) travel around the hard life of Arthur Fleck.… Expand

If all you wanted in a Joker film was a crazy guy in face-paint doing bad things in the name of a half-baked philosophy that boils down to "everyone is mean, and all mean people should die," then this is the movie for you. But if you wanted a Joker that's complex and menacing (a la Heath Ledger) this is a waste of time. Would this Joker walk into a room full of criminals and "make a pencil disappear"? No. This Joker has no skills, no intelligence, nothing that makes him likable or even intimidating. In fact, if you take away his gun, this Joker is just a punching bag. What kind of arch-enemy for Batman is he supposed to be? There were so many opportunities to make Joker more than just the one-dimensional psychopath everyone sees him as. Why not make him a master chemist who was underestimated and disregarded because of his "mental condition"? That could have explained the Laughing Gas, the acid, and the other deadly devices the Joker uses. Instead, we got this lazy homage to people who want to burn the world down because others don't fall over themselves to be their friend. It was marginally entertaining, hence the 4, but I couldn't even sit through to the end because it's so predictable and uninspired.… Expand

Joaquin Phoenix was it's only saving grace. His performance and technique were solid, but the writing was hot garbage and the direction was absolutely terrible. Just laugh-out-loud awful at times. Over-stylized, heavy-handed, and took itself WAY too seriously given the low competency of writing/directing behind this production. I feel bad for Phoenix to have been attached to a steaming pile like this. Oh well. Despite Joker being a critical failure, at least Jouquin will probably still have a big payday with comic book culture being as devoted as it is.… Expand

This movie is the depiction in the how privilege and mental health can affect someone through the worst of times now in the world mental health can affect people very horribly and how it would change someone for the words someone like Arthur this movie shows that. This movie has murders it shows them very graphically so you have a negative reaction to them because obviously murder is the negative thing but with that you also have to be mature about it and do understand that one of these things can happen that they could happen in real life because this movie is very grounded with no superhero shenanigans it is just about a person who is out of the worst of times it has themes of privilege and it shows this very strategically and openly when joker kills 3 Wall Street kids on a train it's not shown to be a good thing but also shows how they would have the privilege to be seen as the victim's when they were beating up joker on a on the train it also shows the side between poverty in the rich and people not communicating properly with the subplot of joker and Thomas Wayne being son and father this movie is an edgy it doesn't show the things that joker does is in a good way because he is a hurt character end he's it shows the turn of the good person that Arthur was through the bad person that you ever was because of his mental health and the things that he went through and it demonstrates this in this film it's not saying that they're okay but it is showing it because it's an origin story and if you're going to show a villains origin story it's not going to be very nice.… Expand

I also loved Christopher Nolan's first two Dark Knight movies as well as Tim Burton's take on the character. This movie however elevates Bob Kane and Bill Finger's creation to an entirely new dimension. With obvious comparisons to Martin Scorsese's classic gritty movies of the 1970's (Taxi Driver especially), Joker is simply stunning. A scary, jaw-dropping and unflinching delve into madness, seen through the eyes of Arthur Fleck, played to utter perfection by Joaquin Phoenix.

He works as a clown by day, while aspiring to be a stand-up comic. Many blows (both physical and mental) conspire to create the twisted soul that evolves. Phoenix goes all out, creating a creepy character without much empathy. More important, this film is a profile of a disturbed mind, not the typical DC Comic adventure. There's no "action" and a few flashes of violence, but MANY more moments of the actor working hard for his Oscar. Unfortunately, the movie's script and overall vibe downgrade it from being brilliant or even mildly compelling to mostly insufferable.… Expand

However during most of the film rather than disturbed I only felt sorry for a man who, do to childhood trauma, let everyone walk all over him. The slightest rejection from anyone would trigger his hysteria. Surprisingly, they didn't add a scene where he buys an ice cream cone and as he gets his first taste the scoop completely falls and he has a panic attack. Hanging by a thread, thanks to his medication. When fundings for it are cut off and after finding out the truth about his mother. The Joker is born 90 mins into the movie. I sat thru it. At the theater I attended, I witness about 6-10 people leaving during the fist hour. When it was over an individual clapped, four about 8 seconds, when no one follow he stopped. Wasn't the worst movie I ever saw but definitely not a masterpiece.… Expand

Joker has problems. Pun intended. And I’m not referring to Arthur Fleck, -Todd Phillips’ latest incarnation of the Clown Prince of Crime – but the picture itself.

As if the weight of 80 years in print or 5 decades on the screen weren’tJoker has problems. Pun intended. And I’m not referring to Arthur Fleck, -Todd Phillips’ latest incarnation of the Clown Prince of Crime – but the picture itself.

As if the weight of 80 years in print or 5 decades on the screen weren’t oceanically crushing enough, we now are served another incarnation of an antagonist as ubiquitously immortal as Moriarty or Hannibal Lecter. What more can be said? Is there any meat left on the bones of the mythology?

If one were to believe the marketing, we’re going to see a Taxi Driver meets The King of Comedy meets The French Connection. Sounds great, right? It would be, but it was marketing.

What Joker does deliver is a thin screed on mental illness in an even sicker society. This society in decline has sensibilities contemporary to our own, despite the trappings of the 1970’s which seem like an aesthetic afterthought. Those versed in Batlore are presented Warner Brothers intellectual property anchors to orient themselves in the expanding cinematic graphic novel universe, but they are halfhearted name dropping at best. Trappings.

At the heart of Joker is Arthur Fleck – ironically named. Joaquin Phoenix is masterful, more charming and sad than haunting. Despite his valiant energies, he’s not given much with which to work. Often times, he’s left to his own devices to soft shoe it to bridge scenes. No joke – Phoenix does quite a bit of improvisational dancing in Joker. Phillips and Scott Silver’s script give Phoenix very little to do other than riff on a psychological tick for two hours.

Arthur Fleck is a mental illness cliche. Abused, medicated and neurotic. There is no arc for Fleck. Fleck lurches from one unfortunate circumstance to another. There’s no growth, no descent into madness – just an already poor, disturbed, delusional Arthur. We are never given any reason to empathize with Fleck. An excellent counterpoint to this character is another Phoenix played, Theodore Twombly in Spike Jonze’s superior Her (2013). Twombly is equally marginalized like Fleck, but Jonze and Phoenix give us little glimpses of the character’s humanity in the midst of his existential horror. We never get those in Joker. We, like Arthur, receive unsatisfactory reveals with epic portent and paltry emotional punch.

Joker also lacks unifying tonal elements. Phillips can’t seem to decide if Joker is a moody, introspective independent character study or if it wants to wax epic. A solo cello pervades throughout the score, but at key moments Hildur Guðnadóttir seems to dial it up to full Zimmer. The production design is as anachronistic and as disjointed as the score. Everything feels dressed up, the elements are there but the mise-en-scène is missing. This world is too much our own. Joker is one of those rare pictures where the sum of its parts don’t equal the whole. I couldn’t help but think, why wasn’t it shot on film stock using vintage lenses? Though there is not much CGI, Joker is very crisp, very digital and that works against it.

One thing that does work is the vintage music. One can imagine the creative possibilities of what wanted to be a lyrical, musical picture edited around classic songs. That was a glaringly missed opportunity.

Zazie Beetz is all but an afterthought in this picture, a wasted talent and a virtual plot device.

Phillips’ Coup de Gras in this disjointed ramble through mental illness mythology is an equally disjointed monologue at the end. I’ll not spoil it, but it’s a cheap, self conscious, point blank expository shot at society. There’s no teeth to it, it’s not menacing at all. It’s banal and abrupt. For those that wish or worry that this film will be the Anarchist, Alt-Right or Incel manifesto … don’t. This film just isn’t that smart or that creative. There’s a denouement, but there’s not much to it other than cinematic padding.

If you pay close attention, you’ll see little homages to The King of Comedy, The Dark Knight, Psycho and Network. They’re not egregiously plagiaristic, just flair for the sake of flair. The Era of Easter Eggs needs to end.

On the up side, the 20 minutes of trailers prior to Joker was exciting. A breath of fresh, serious cinematic air after a long hot Summer of Spandex.

On a scale of 5, I give Joker a 2.75 and charitably round it up to 3.

I’d wait for a $2.99 Amazon Prime rental for this one, folks. Hell, maybe just wait for Netflix.

As old blue eyed Sinatra said, That’s Life.… Expand

I saw it Saturday night, it was very difficult to deal with at the time but after digesting the movie over multiple days i've come to a place where I can honestly say I enjoyed the film very much. This is not a film to bring the kids to. this movie will challenge your perception of what's ok and what's not ok. And, in that sense it does a wonderful job. In addition to that the starring role played by Joaquin Phoenix is stellarly done. I really don't think this movie could have worked with anyone else in the part.… Expand

Review Joker (2019)

This is a much of feelings, this movie is incredible, raw, and necessary to the society who we live today, this movie is better than hype, photography, Phoenix, is fenomenal, and he deserve a nomination in the Oscar, IReview Joker (2019)

This is a much of feelings, this movie is incredible, raw, and necessary to the society who we live today, this movie is better than hype, photography, Phoenix, is fenomenal, and he deserve a nomination in the Oscar, I don’t like so much to compare movies, but I’m sorry, this movie is the best of the year, go to the cinema, don’t afraid, because ever moment in this movie is a punch in your stomach, If you like the joker character, You love this movie, because Arthur fleack is insane, crazy mind, and you have compassion for him, but in the same time you understood what he did is wrong, that’s is the duality, and the movie is very influenced by movie of Scorsese, How taxi driver, king of Comedy, and doses of ultra violence, clockwork orange, or the Phoenix movies too, you never really here, it’s a social critic of your society, Gotham is a dirty, corrupt, don’t have health, safety, the government don’t give a sh@&, it your own citizens, the citizens don’t have job, this is a movie to think, a lot, rethink “polemical themes”, who is the better government, people who have mental issues, deserve treatment, and stop the bullying your the fake news, don’t matter, who is your political position, see the people, have empathy for them, when a society is sick, the retreat is a problem candidate, Joker so is a movie adaptation of the comics, have similarities with Dark knight, by Frank Miller comics, and the killing Joke, By Alan Moore, I think now is the best adaptation of a movie adaptation of a comic book, Phoenix honors Heath Ledger, this movie is euphoric, phenomenal, and deserve your time, go to the cinema, and watch this movie!!!
This movie is hard to digest, heavy, and don’t let kids watch this movie, is a adult movie, one study of human Psyche, you imerge in the mind of joker, this movie will be a classic over de years… Expand
