Just awesome. Really, one of the best movies I've seen in a while. I did not think anyone else could do Joker justice after Heath Ledger's portrayal, but Joacquin Phoenix is right up there.

I did not think anyone else could do Joker justice after Heath Ledger's portrayal, but Joacquin Phoenix is right up there. Of course, the comparison is a little unfair seeing as Phoenix for the majority of the film is not playing "the Joker", he plays Arthur Fleck. He only becaomes the Joker very late on. His speech at the ennding is mesmorising. You can literally see Fleck become the Joker in just 2 lines.… Expand

How easily pleased have people become? When a ‘major’ movie is this simplistic and obviously just another copy of many other overrated downers – it leaves someone needing to explain how this nonsense then goes on to rate a ridiculous 11 OscarHow easily pleased have people become? When a ‘major’ movie is this simplistic and obviously just another copy of many other overrated downers – it leaves someone needing to explain how this nonsense then goes on to rate a ridiculous 11 Oscar nominations? Who can truly take the Oscars seriously any longer? Joker is a typical super-ugly, comic book R Rated serial killer story - which grinds its endless way through non-stop, grotesque situations of the most maudlin kind. We’ve already seen this character (somewhat over-played by Phoenix) far too many times in the past. Even the dark, sleazy settings don’t invite interest, and has left many viewers wanting it all to end quickly but no, it drags on for over two hours, feeling painfully more like three. Then there’s the casting of an over-used De Niro, intended to help capitalise on some of those ‘gangster- obsessed’ Scorsese offerings. Many paid to see this over-hyped lowbrow tosh, expecting to experience a masterpiece - only to wish they could get back their time and money for better use. If uninspired morbidity is your thing, you’ll get a bellyful – otherwise, stay well away and watch this junk fade into the obscurity it deserves, hopefully, along with the copycat movie makers. The final images this movie creates of carnage on the streets of America, looks more like the sorry, robotic BLM mayhem that’s reducing the USA to a decaying mess. Just what the CCP and others would be quite happy to see – Civil War. Such a pitiful shame and a sick joke.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. We all know critic reviews are worthless. Most critic sites are paid off to give good reviews, which is something everyone has been aware of for a long time.

The movie is fantastic. Its too real. We see a seriously mentally ill man being cast aside by society. After losing his access to therapy and medication, we see him slowly descend into darkness. The tone of the movie is largely dark and sinister. The turning point is when he decides to commit suicide. The elated giddiness of an mentally ill person finally making this decision is only relatable for someone who has gone through the same thing. He takes power into his own hands. The music and lighting becomes more cheery. The second turning point is near the end, when he realizes once he has taken the power back over his life and finally feels happy, he no longer wants to die.

He felt ignored by society and once he takes a stand against the absurdity of it, he sees there are other people just like him. They see him. The negative reviews are by the exact same people the movie is calling out. Or they expected another generic action movie and got a dark drama.

This movie didn't have to be about Joker. It honestly takes away from it. I'd say that is the only flaw. The writing and attention to detail is fantastic. Joaquin Phoenix is fantastic. Just watch the movie, its great.… Expand

Todd Phillips’ Joker is an intense character study on a man losing his sense of reality and the society that made him the way he is. Being a fan of the character and the DC Universe in general, my jaw continuously kept dropping to the floorTodd Phillips’ Joker is an intense character study on a man losing his sense of reality and the society that made him the way he is. Being a fan of the character and the DC Universe in general, my jaw continuously kept dropping to the floor during this film. This has got to be one of the biggest joys I’ve had in a cinema for a long time. I was so unrealistically excited for this film that before walking in it dawned on me that maybe I had made a mistake, maybe I had overhyped myself but no oh god no, this film is excellent. With an Oscar worthy performance from Joaquin Phoenix and skilful directing behind the camera from Todd Phillips, Joker drags you into the mind of a man being boiled alive by the people and customs surrounding him.

My biggest complaint for this film would have to be how boldly it wears its influences on its sleeves (that being Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver and The King Of Comedy). Nearing the end of the film it did start to dawn on me just how similar the structures of these films were but it wasn’t enough to annoy or disgust me, just a little too blatant for my liking.

But overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this roller coaster and will defiantly be seeing it again as soon as I can. I can see this being one of the biggest must sees of 2019 so get out there and watch it gang, this one is defiantly a sight to see.

The movie sets out to sell me a point that's already sold, namely that a society that forgets and marginalizes have-nots is a bad idea, even leaving ethics alone. People robbed of all hope and with nothing to lose, will not play by the rules, it's something Dickens made crystal clear in "A Tale of Two Cities" almost two centuries ago.
And yet the protagonist almost manages to sway me towards the despicable Thomas Wayne's selfish, paternalistic plutocracy. Fortuna may be Imperatrix Mundi, but you are rarely completely powerless in the face of events. Arthur is unlucky, but not as much as he thinks. Just like you are not fit to be an angel for Victoria's Secret if you are an obese, ugly, middle-aged man, you are not fit to be a stand-up comedian if you are a tragically unfunny guy, with a condition that makes you break up in laughter at the worst possible moment. Wanna make one of those schmaltzy, inspirational movies about pursuing a dream in the face of adversity? Well, the people in those, WORK HARD to fulfil their dream. Arthur does absolutely nothing but wallow in excessive self-pity, while smoking one cigarette after the other after the other after the other after the other... does he accept any job to make ends meet, while perfecting his act? Oh noes, that would be sooo below him. He's "made to spread joy onto the world", so he should be handed his dream on a plate. And hey, he's too busy pitying himself to get a new job, after he lost the one he had because of *his* incredible stupidity. But no, it's not his fault, right? It's society's, and mainly rich people's, so he's perfectly right in spending his days crying and smoking and laughing maniacally.
Really, I'm so angry that a perfectly valid message gets wasted this way! If you really are interested in some good and lucid social analysis, I suggest you watch something by Ken Loach, it's a world apart in quality.… Expand

It makes you feel creeped out and empty, and that's exactly the purpose of this film. To showcase the oddness and obscurity of such a character as Arthur Fleck. I really wish critics would stop comparing this movie to Scorsese. You're not watching "Taxi Driver", and that's not a bad thing. Take the movie for what it is, not what it could be.

HisInitially when I heard the lead was Joaquin, I was excited because it was quite obvious he is one of the best actors around. And then the reviews made it sound like a flop so I thought maybe it's not that good. God, I was wrong. His performance as the Joker was spectacular, even reaching to the point that I felt the Joker was not wrong to be who he became. Arthur started off as a depressed man without any light in his life. But it was the way Joaquin physically portrayed someone with a psychotic disorder with so much detail, he never once overdid it. His physique is one of a broken bullied man and his eyes reflect Arthur's tormented soul. The direction of the movie was terrific as well by focusing on the internal breakdown of Arthur's mind. The movie was so painful, realistic and never too dramatic, that I was captivated throughout. Despite Heath Ledger's amazing performance, I think it is no way comparable to this Joker. However, to be fair, Heath did not get the same size of the role. I would strongly recommend it to anyone, especially DC fans to see this movie with legendary acting so rare.… Expand

Dark and intense dive into a madman's mind is a fascinating as well as disturbing experience, largely due to Joaquin Phoenix's frenetic, mesmerizing performance.

A brilliant, violent and controversial origin story given to DC's Joker, combined with Joaquin Phoenix's amazing and powerful performance which makes Joker the best movie of 2019 and one of the best DC movies.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film gave me one of the most unique cinematic experiences I’ve ever had. Phoenix’s performance was one of the best performances I could recall ever seeing after leaving the theatre, better than just the best performance of 2019. I was in disbelief that the person I was watching on the screen was Joaquin Phoenix - from start to finish he was unrecognizably dedicated to playing the role and very highly emotionally provocative for the audience. The cinematography was phenomenally uncomfortable, the score was hauntingly brilliant, the supporting cast were well selected, and the movie pacing was uniquely captivating. This was also the best Gotham city setting to me so far. The film setting drew me in and made me feel filthy. The metaphors and the score from the film were particularly powerful. There is ever present audience gripping tension starting from the first minute of the film until the end. You could really feel the emotional involvement of the audience in the theatre. The final 45 minutes of this film are truly some of the best cinema ever produced. This was not simply a shut-your-brain-off for 2 hours entertainment movie - more so a movie of great importance that’s thought provoking throughout and will absolutely move the viewer to self reflect.… Expand

Y con un mal cuerpo tremendo, que es sin duda un testamento de lo bien hecha que está. Un Joaquin Phoenix que se supera incluso con el elevadísimo listón que se había dejado en el pasado. Una dirección, estética, ambientación, cámara... todo perfecto. Y un guión ambiguo, turbio, sórdido y sin duda brutal no sólo en la violencia (que también) sino en la creación de los personajes, la historia, el ambiente. Una historia donde la risa acaba dando casi miedo, presagio de lo terrible que va a ocurrir, y donde es imposible no empatizar con un protagonista que te remueve por dentro un montón de sensaciones. Realmente, una película excepcional.… Expand

Like "Taxi Driver", it brings with it an ability to pull on every uncomfortable string of our tense social ball-of-yarn, slowly unraveling a complex web of institutions geared steering us away from the yearning emptiness of our late-stage capitalist lives, and like "The King of Comedy", gives a powerful and haunted glimpse into the inner worlds of the unstable and self-absorbed. Yet, it doesn't just sandwich concepts from other films, but brings with it a variety of new tools that didn't exist in that era of filmmaking, such as the ability to show some sympathy to these malignant figures and see that their struggle is ours, and warns us all of the potential danger of leaving loose threads frayed for too long.… Expand

This movie is far from disappointing, but ANYTHING would have been after all the hype this film got (supposed standing ovations at festivals and winning an award a bunch of best picture winners have won previously).

Now, about the actual movie In a lot of ways, its Taxi Driver with a DC skin. It has the same tone and a lot of the same themes, but plot beats and base character motivations are drastically different. What you've heard about Phoenix's performance is all true, but I also loved the sometimes demented, sometimes classic style of cinematography and how the score would switch back and forth between sounding like what the character's perceived feelings on the events/situations were in a scene and what a sane person's perceptions of that same scene would be (triumphant vs. horrific).

In addition to Jaoquin's performance, I thought that the few brief moments the supporting cast were given to play in were acted flawlessly as well. Zazzy Beats, Bryan Tyree Henry, and Deniro all had a brief moment to shine and they all took full advantage. I only have two real complaints about the film. First, I thought almost all additional tie-ins to the DC universe were the weakest parts of the movie. One with pearls felt particularly shoehorned in. And second, I wish the film had cut to black on the last line of dialogue Phoenix delivered. It would have been just a bit more effective than the more drawn out ending we got, I think, because that last line has some real punch to it. Maybe it would have felt cheesy. Lmk. Not a masterpiece, but I really enjoyed it and will definitely see it again.… Expand

Super hero films in recent years have been abysmal, leaving no sense of reality or relevance towards consumers unless you really "just watch them for the action", for instance infinity war or endgame is just a waste of time and it's following is only because "everyone likes it". Now this isn't to relate to this film's protagonist or sound like an edge lord but these marvel films are a "roller coaster ride" as Martin Scorsese describes them. Often times I compare the uncharacteristic MCU to the amazing writing and philosophy of the Halo series, halo is far more relatable to a group of superheros jumping around in CGI fights forever. I'd rather look up to the Arbiter, a self-sufficient dinosaur than a group of wimps.

This leads to my main point about Joker, it is relatable. It surely isn't 100% relatable, as of course what the joker does in this film is immoral and unethical in every way, cant just go about killing people the way he did in this film. But, it is very realistic, its sad, its pessimistic and it shines a light on the reality that some mentally ill patients probably experience on a day to day basis. It also captures the reality of wealthy capitalists causing divisions between the rich and the poor in America (only in America, NOT IN THE UK) and other countries like Brazil. For instance, the game Max Payne 3 captures this pessimism in a similar way except Max is a hero rather than the anti-hero that is the Joker. This division of rich and poor is clear when you have to pay for healthcare in America and the fact that they advertise all sorts of health products there and make falsified claims about it goes to show on this division. Then again this isn't to get political, I don't agree with the idea of sparking a revolution because killing people isn't a good thing but this is a film and entertainment is of course for escapism. Understanding the Joker's mind and what he goes through was what we escaped into with this film and because of how realistic it is and emotional at times, it makes this film a master piece.

Apparently Scorsese films influenced this film and I can 100% agree with this since I love his films. This is far better than a bunch of cgi fights and unrelatable content. Watch this if you're looking for a real film… Expand

Joker released on the 3rd of October, 2019 and grossed 4 million short of 100 million USD on it's opening weekend in the US. Overall, Joker grossed nearly 1.1 billion dollars worldwide. It stars Joaquin Pheonix as Arther Fleck and Robert DeJoker released on the 3rd of October, 2019 and grossed 4 million short of 100 million USD on it's opening weekend in the US. Overall, Joker grossed nearly 1.1 billion dollars worldwide. It stars Joaquin Pheonix as Arther Fleck and Robert De Niro as Murray Franklin. So, how was it?
Joker is possibly the most enjoyment I have ever had from a comic book movie. It is a dark and gritty character study of a psychopath. There is not a moment of this movie where I feel happy. It is very consistent with it's tone and the atmosphere is so gritty. The constant sirens, the trash on the streets, the graffiti on the subway, all of it contributes to a hopeless feeling. Joaquin Pheonix gives the best acting performance of his career, which is saying a lot. His laugh is one of the best Joker laughs, only beaten by Heath Ledger. His improvisation is on point and always feels consistent. When he commits a crime, he always gives you the feeling that deep down, he enjoys it. The cinematography is so incredible and the dark colour palette looks like its ripped out of the 80's.
Joker is a great movie, but like all great movies, it is flawed. Rupert Pupkin from The King Of Comedy(1983) is very clearly an influence on this movie. And by influence, I mean they ripped his character nearly completely off. An unreliable narrator that tries his best to become a comedian and become famous. He fails and this, among other things, leads to him commiting a terrible crime. The personalities are different, but the storylines are quite similar. Todd Philips and Scott Silver also take influence from Taxi Driver(1979), another Scorcese film. Joker has the same obsession with guns and commits the same crime. Just because it isn't original doesn't mean it's bad, but it does have another issue. Joker's atmosphere can be a bit repetitive. Taxi Driver had a similar atmosphere, but it mixed it up a bit with jazz music being played. Joker is always sad, always depressing.
