While some of the dialogue is a bit too on the nose and a certain plot twist could have been executed much more effectively if Phillips trusted his audience more, in the end joker is a smart, bleak and refreshing film which will likely be discussed for years to come.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before anything else: this film deserves Oscar wins, not just nominations, for Lead Actor, Cinematography, and Original Score. It is visually beautiful and the music serves as a perfect supporting actor to enhance the insanity into which Arthur Fleck degenerates. Society causes an already mentally ill loner to finish losing his mind and digress from wanting to spread joy and laughter throughout the world to wanting to kill those he feels have wronged him.

Phoenix's performance is not necessarily better than Heath Ledger's, but it is more riveting, and that's saying something because I never really expected anyone to top any aspect of Ledger's take on Joker. I consider Ledger's Joker a bit more sadistic, but that's only because now we know one vision of where Joker came from. The most fun aspect of the character is that you can play him any way you want and it's still correct. He might tell you a knock knock joke or he might shoot your daughter through the spine just to see the look on your face. And anything in between.

There really are no words to express how good this movie is. It is as perfect a film, in its genre, as The Godfather, or Schindler's List, or Casablanca, or Lawrence of Arabia. The professional critics, the ones who get paid by major newspapers to say how much they hate a movie, most of them despise this one because it appears to be a social commentary on what a mentally ill loner will do if society pushes him too far. Many critics call it dangerous and incendiary because it may incite some - well, mentally ill loner out there - to do what he sees Joker do in the movie.

Guess what, critics? You're right. It is incendiary. Because it tells the truth. Unflinchingly. Without euphemisms. Anyone who hates this movie as a social commentary is probably part of the problem our society has right now. At least in America, mental disorders and diseases are spurned by those who don't have them as not real medical problems. This isn't true. The film sympathizes with Fleck for a good reason: if society had treated him better, he wouldn't have become the most evil monster in the history of comic book literature.

That movie critics are writing such vituperative reviews of the film only proves the film's point: those critics hate it because it holds up a mirror to nature and forces them to confront their hatred of the truth of reality.

Because of the controversy I can't predict its Oscar chances, but I believe they're good. Phoenix is genuinely unnerving in every single scene and the intensity gets tighter and tighter toward the end until it becomes absolutely unbearable during the scene on the Murray Franklin Show when Joker appears as a guest. De Niro may also deserve an Oscar nod. He supports the lead performance with perfect experience.

How do I summarize such a masterpiece? If I had to use only one word, I think I'd say "devastating." But there's more to it than that. It's equal parts gritty crime drama, comic book movie, horror movie, and tear-jerker. At the end, when Joker is in Arkham Asylum running from the guards, everything is white and it reminds you of A Clockwork Orange. The whole film is inspired by Taxi Driver.

Those who call it "too dark, too violent and bloody" must not have understood what they were getting into when buying a ticket to see any kind of film about the Joker character. He's dark and violent in the comic books. We live in an age of PG-13, which permits a larger audience and thus more money, but this film is no bloodier or violent than the average nasty action movie from the '80s and early '90s. The body count is about 10, most of them Joker's victims. The difference is that the violence hits hard! If you can stomach Saving Private Ryan or The Passion of the Christ, this film's violence is a walk in the park.

You will leave the theater feeling devastated, overwhelmed by its magnificence, and yes, you'll feel inspired, but not to commit acts of violence. The critics don't seem to understand. This film does not glorify mental illness or the online "incel" community. It doesn't just try to speak to the latent anger of lonely, anti-social white guys who really need to vent their anger and frustration. It tells the entire world the following, very simple statement: the mentally ill need to be helped, loved, hugged, encouraged to seek treatment, be it medication or therapeutic conversations. They need to be shown in some way that there's no shame in being mentally ill. The only shame is in not seeking help.

At the end, Joker tells Murray Franklin, on live TV, "What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash? I'll tell you what you get! You get what you **** deserve!" Then he blows Franklin's brains out.

It's unfortunate. It's painful and deplorable to look at. But Fleck is right. The writers and actors are right. In real life that is exactly what you get.… Expand

This movie surely slipped under the studio's radar. Almost like they knew it was a gamble and green-lit total creative freedom. Fantastic! The soundtrack, both original and licensed, the setting, the pacing, the scene composition, the dialog and the story were all excellent. I'm not sure the actor was the best fit for Joker, but he did a great job regardless. He hit the somber lows really well, and the lows were necessary fuel for the Joker's highs that he performed satisfactorily. There was still slight room for improvement, but not enough to push it out of the 10/10 slot: the movie could have ended 5 minutes earlier and been more subtle in a few places, almost like the director is asking "Did you get it? Let me explain it for some of you", but overall, this goes well beyond expectations for a comic book movie.

Now I’m not gonna say that Joker was a psychological masterpiece and that it showcased the true art of cinema or some crap like that. For me Joker was great because it was different, it took its time to make you understand the character ofNow I’m not gonna say that Joker was a psychological masterpiece and that it showcased the true art of cinema or some crap like that. For me Joker was great because it was different, it took its time to make you understand the character of Arthur Fleck and the plot was well written.

First off to get it out of the way let me address the so called “controversy” of this film in my opinion. To me for the most part I never really saw any controversy, I knew going in that Joker was a villain and I expected the movie to show me the violent acts of the Joker character and yes some of the violence is brutal but was never glorified or overblown like in some R-rated movies(lookin at you Hellboy, no cap) but the purpose of the movie was to show you how someone can go from being a normal person and be broken by life and turn into a psychopath.

Okay now let’s move on to the performances, I’m sure you’ve heard it somewhere and I’m gonna say it again Joaquin Phoenix was dope playing the role of Arthur Fleck/Joker. I usually don’t care for the oscars but I would like this man to win one. Joaquin made me feel sympathy for Arthur throughout the movie and potrayed Arthur’s mental health issues perfectly and when he turned into the Joker...I enjoyed his performance man. Robert Deniro as Murray Franklin (a talk show host) was good, Frances Conroy as Penny Fleck (Arthur’s mother) also gave a convincing performance as well. Brett Cullen as Thomas Wayne was also interesting as the movie gave a very different version of Thomas Wayne from other Batman related movies. The character of Thomas Wayne was almost cruel and colder than any other versions from the comic or movies and I appreciated that a lot.

Zazie Beetz as Sophie was meh I mean she didn’t give a bad performance by any means it’s just that she was used for a certain plot point and twist that I saw coming from a mile away and I felt that her arc or character even was unneeded and her contribution to Arthur’s story would have been fine without her character.

One thing I was worried about was that people in the movie were going to be unrealistically cruel to Arthur, however that wasn’t the case the movie handled that part pretty well and again I appreciated that. The story of Arthur becoming Joker took its time and didn’t rush his transformation, the movie really made you understand Arthur’s life, his dreams, mental state, relationships with certain people and his interactions before everything turns upside down and starts doing Joker ish. Arthur’s downfall was heartbreaking to watch and you felt the consequences of being cruel to other people.

However although I really liked that the movie took its time with the story and was really patient....I don’t really like the slow burn feel to this movie , its it’s not that i require an action sequence every 15 minutes it’s just that some movies take unnecessary time and energy trying to deepen the story or character motivations and the pace of the movie can become very slow and drag on. Joker was never 100% boring to me but there were times that the movie almost became a drag to watch. The third act alone is a solid 10/10 you not only get to see the Joker character in full force but the themes that the movie was trying to convey come full circle, it became brutal, almost heartbreaking, tense and wild. Especially with its themes about people being unnecessarily cruel to one another. The key theme about how someone can turn evil after a series of bad things happening to someone, being an outcast in society basically how the world can be a cruel place and how some people will break under that pressure.

Also what I really really liked that the movie never preaches about these themes but mostly uses the show don’t tell method almost the entire movie except very few instances whereby the movie tells you it’s themes through characters. Without saying too much my favorite scene of the movie was the interaction between Joker and Murray.

The movie had a dark tone to it and worked really well, the movie wasn’t dark for the sake of being dark and there were some funny moments, not a lot since it was a very serious but had funny moments mostly dark humor I mean it’s a Joker movie so there are. A few nitpicks are that you don’t get to see the Joker character for long until the last act of the movie I get it’s an origin story but I wished there could have been a little more Joker scenes but it’s not a negative point but a wish really. Not many characters were really as interesting as Arthur Fleck or Murray and maybe Penny.

Joker was great, one of the best DC and comic book movies of all time, had funny some scenes The Arthur Fleck character was amazing, the story was well written,when Arthur became Joker it was really awesome. The movie had really great themes but the movie is slow at times and had some uninteresting characters but what really matters, Joker put a smile on my face.… Expand

The acting from Joaquin Phoenix is absolutely incredible. It’s the perfect origin story for the perfect villain. Not a film for people who only want to watch happy clappy films.

Joaquin Phoenix is spectacular and deserves the world of awards, even if he doesn’t get the Oscar we know the real winner and it would be barbaric if it doesn’t happen.
The Soundtrack is a delight and the Director had me fell in love.

The world needed this. Hollywood has gone completely political and it has ruined the movie industry. This type of eye opening movie is exactly what the world needs to see. It immerses the view into the character and story and makes your mind think.
