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

Unfortunately this isn't just an origin story. 2019 joker is a Scorsese-ian quick paced masterpiece. It's deliberate script and demure violent tone seeks to get down to the depth of it's namesake villain. A carefully crafted descent into madness in a society already in the throes of exploitive capitalist violence gives the most chilling depiction of the joker since the charater consumed Heath Ledger. Joaquin Phoenix delivers an unhinged performance as the anti social traumatized Arthur who disenchanted with his life aspires to notoriety despite his own mediocrity. Following a succession of increasingly dispiriting events he begins to unravel just as the world around him burst open in unchecked anarchy . This movie is brilliant but as has been seen in similar art with white male protagonists who face mental illness whilst dealing with toxic masculinity, it has become canonized by the very audience it seeks to critique. Labeled a "dude bro, female manipulator,white supremacist " film isn't to far fetched. That might not be said by the films story itself but is a medium, through Arthur's self pitying isolation ,for their own failures. I do think the aforementioned consequence though further proves the films violent accuracy, just as Midsommar showed how easy it was to be brainwashed into a cult the joker shows us how easy it is to use trauma/mental illness to justify hurting other's. And that the joker shouldn't be admired or as his name suggests laughed at. But should instead be feared as his creation isn't fiction and instead manifests daily in the firm of school shooters,incels, misogynists and misanthropes. It's a warning, not a joke.… Expand

This movie was amazing. It did something I personally rarely see and that's the fact that I forgot Jaoquin was just playing a character; I actually thought the character was just a lunatic. The only downside is it is slow to start.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really enjoyed this movie from the beginning to the end, it never drags or gets boring, it'll keep you interested from start to finish. And yes as most people said it already, Joaquin Pheonix' performance is incredible, the way he portrays the emotions and the development of his character through the film is just insanely good. Also the story and the music gives the movie such a great atmosphere. -SPOILER-
The only real thing i do dislike about the movie was when i got home and read a lot of theories and statements of the director where he says the ending is "Multiple choice". I'd hate if some of the parts of the ending would only be taking place in Arthur Flecks mind, because i really think this is a great origin story for the joker and in my opinion i'd love to see this version of the joker in the future too.

but all in all, this movie is a masterpiece.… Expand

Joker is a fantastic film and a fantastic comic book film. Although the film is great, there are a small handful of issues. Unfortunately, most of those issues are spoiler related so I can’t talk about them. The one I can talk about is that the film does sometimes borrow a little too much from the films it is inspired by, Taxi Driver (1976) and The King of Comedy (1983). If you have seen either of those films and watch Joker then you will know what I am talking about. Other than that and my spoiler related issues, the film is almost perfect. Joaquin Phoenix does a phenomenal job as the Joker. You can barely recognize that it is him because he just disappears into this role. The way Joaquin Phoenix shows this slow downfall of his character is incredible. Robert De Niro also does a fantastic job with his limited role. He’s cold, calculating, and manipulative and it’s perfect. The sequence of events that the film portrays is perfect. It doesn’t quickly get to the “Joker” but spends most of the film showing the slow downfall of his character. The film does this to perfection. This film is incredibly dark. There are multiple moments in the film that your jaw just drops at what happens. The film uses violence to its advantage. The scenes where it is used in adds to the already huge amount of tension that has been built up which leads me to my next point, Joker is incredibly tense. There are multiple moments where events are slowly building up and you are just on the edge of your seat waiting for the climax of that scene and when it happens, it feels super satisfying. The score for this film is amazing also. Hildur Guðnadóttir has so many outstanding compositions that adds to the tension and gives us an insight into Arthur’s mind. The cinematography is surprisingly really good. It always provides a way to show us how Arthur is feeling while also getting other necessary shots. Joker is a film that has to be experienced on its own. Ignore the controversy behind it and try not to pay too much attention to the critic reviews. You have to see the film and depending on how you feel the film portrays issues like violence and mental illness will determine if you like it or not. Overall, Joker is exactly what comic book films needed with a breathtaking performance from Joaquin Phoenix and an interesting, dark, and realistic approach into an iconic character. I give Joker a 9.5/10.… Expand

Joaquin nailed it 100% when it comes to playing the Joker with the laugh, the tone of his voice, his facial expressions and importantly the acting. The made the right choice picking him over Jared Leto. The way the movie is executed and doesn't give away too much with what's happened or what's going to happen leaves you at the edge of your seat asking yourself "What's going to happen"/"What's happened?". The plot twist(s) prevents the movie from being predictable and too linear and leaves you discussing the movie after you watched it which is mostly a sign of a good movie if the discussions are positive.

Overall, the cinematics of the movie are amazing and the movie wouldn't get this rating if it wasn't for Joaquin's amazing acting, which made me restore my faith in Hollywood picking good actors who can act and not just because of Political Correctness.… Expand

This film does notElements of fantasy and fiction are still present in this Joker film, but the more realistic spice of conflict is one of the keys to the success of character building and the dark atmosphere until the end of the story. This film does not present a variety of exciting action scenes, but rather is focused on the drama of life as a Gotham society whose situation is not conducive for everyone. Conflict that can be better understood and coupled with how Arthur sees the world and his surroundings which is heavily influenced by his mental health condition, we are invited to take part in falling into the madness he experiences throughout the film. There is greater sympathy for the character of the Joker this time, but it also creates a conflict in your mind that what the Joker himself did cannot be fully justified.… Expand

Well after the scissors scene I think this movie became one of my favorites and really is a breath of fresh air in the stale film industry as of late.

It's not afraid to offend, takes **** at everyone, and Phoenix's performance, while it took a bit to evolve into what I would call great, it got there and left me wanting more, immediately.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, that was dark... I do have some trouble with specific dark content as it usually strays away from the artistic wonder that it needs to serve a purpose. When I walked in to see this film, I had butterflies in my tum-tum as I didn't know how the dark subject matter could be handled. Then I saw this experience. I love this film for the same reason that I love A Clockwork Orange. **** up content that is handled with dignity. Making the audience empathise with Arthur until he lashes out. It's a perfect balance. The score is masterful, Joaquin Phoenix's performance actually makes me jealous on how good it is. I do say that it does have some issues such as Bruce Wayne being involved for fan service. (However, I do like how they recreated Batman's origin). There really wasn't any importance with him and the illusions do seem a bit of an excuse for some flaws such as Joker shooting Murray because, "why does that camera keep broadcasting this"? or "How come Murray didn't expect Joker to game-end him with a gun"? But, in the end, I don't care. A very good film that is worth your time.… Expand

Despite being predictably difficult to watch, this was a very clever take on the Joker as a character (and make no mistake, he is a CHARACTER in this film). It was a very well done movie, that uses its tie-in to the Batman origin story very much as a quirk or a sideshow rather than the main event. Joaquin Phoenix is a revelation, killing it in every scene, sometimes literally, and the writing is so on point, with the buildup to its inevitable conclusion being both heartbreaking and an emotional roller coaster.… Expand

this movie stigmatizes society’s cruelty and absence of compassion for people. it’s something that can drive someone crazy..or violent or both. Phoenix is everything in the movie, his movement and facial expressions are simply unique.

Todd Phillips clearly has eye for the camera, with every shot and colour choice dripping with symbolism. 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

Go into the cinema thinking it is a movie about a mentally disabled person. IGNORE THE DC WORLD or anything related to comics. If they do not give an oscar to joaquin phoenix for his performance as a mentally disabled person, it will only prove to me that the academy understands nothing about films. Everything is amazing, it is a drama, it puts your head in a position of being uncomfortable and it makes you think hard. Visuals, sounds and music are exceptionally executed. Love comics and this film makes justice on its own, telling the origin story of the joker. Although some parts new mixed with prior versions, it works phenomenally.… Expand

Joaquin Phoenix's performance was unmercifully perturbing and left me, for the first time, connecting with a criminally insane character, whose makeup is far more complex than that of a murderous clown. This depiction of the Joker could stand all on its own, and maybe will. But, after leaving the theater, I have a desire not to leave the transcience of this sorrowful film there.… Expand

He has brought something really new to this iconic character and his performance deserves to be discussed among best portrayals of the Joker up there with Mark Hamill and Heath Ledger. The rest of the movie? Todd Phillips directs the film with talent, and grabs your attention through a slow burn movie. That is something to keep in mind, it is a very slow burn movie doesn't feature much action so keep that in mind if you're the type of person who doesn't enjoy slow burn movies. Also while the media has way overhyped the controversy to this movie yes there are plenty of uncomfortable scenes bear that in mind. All in all I think Joker is one of the best films of the year. If your the type that enjoys a slow but gripping character drama with lots to say about society, mental issues, and features a unique take on a cultural icon than I cannot recommend Joker.… Expand

It'sThe best comic book movie I've ever seen. I'm not a huge fan of superhero movies. I think this movie is successful because it appeals to the average viewer while at the same time being a really excellent addition to the Batman mythology. It's a really good villain-origin story, but it's more than that. It provokes serious thought about important issues today such as mental illness and systemic power structures, not to mention forcing the viewer to question the motivation of mass murderers. It's dark but it walks that line perfectly, getting laughs that are a little uncomfortable but also a lot of fun. At a certain point, I thought to myself, "Damn, this is a good movie." I could go on but you get the point. Loved it.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To try and compete with the high standard set by Ledger is an uphill struggle to say the least, but Phoenix's performance captivated me from start to finish. I love the continuity of the character. His portrayal of the character is dark and beautiful but still distinct from Ledger's. He has created his own mannerisms with the character. You can see the hard work he's put into this performance. From the look in his eyes, his stance around certain people. "The Joker" is undoubtebly a flawed person, but I've never sympathised with him before, or at least to the extent that I notice it. I find myself comparing our protagonist, Arthur, to Robert De Niro's character in Taxi Driver. You can see they're excluded from society, spat on, in a city that is rotten. One can sympathise with them at the start, but later on we see the cracks appear.

The film has beautiful moments that tie it all together too. For instance, I appreciate how the beginning and end mirror eachother, and that the character ends up parallel to who he was at the start.
It starts with a smile, and a psychiatrist,
and ends with a smile, and a psychiatrist.
Arthur at the start is trying to be happy in an oppressed and dysfunctional world.
Arthur at the end is happy his life means something and he's bringing opportunity for people to make themselves happier through revolution, with the wall of the class divide burning away in Gotham.

I also appreciate the use of theme in this film. From start to finish the film paints a sincere-feeling message about male mental health awareness and the problems that Social Exclusion can cause on vulnerable people- a theme which I feel should be at the forefront of society, but is so often shoved to the back in favour of other issues. The outrage from media outlets prior to release only purports this- practically encouraging a shooting in theatres so they can condemn the person who *they* gave the platform for atrocities to be committed through, via their constant publicity about it. Ironically, the film speaks directly to that, with the Late Night Show scene in the ending third of the film, martyrising Arthur as starting a revolution. The film isn't trying to advocate for murder of people, that's not the message one can take away from it. The real message I found was that vulnerable members of society should be treated. Arthur's character was neglected, beaten, "tied to a radiator with bruises on him," and yet he remained in the house with his mother, and turned into a social outcast. He gets all the sources of help cut off from him, so he is left isolated. This speaks to contemporary American society too, where medical and mental help costs, and often is only available to those who might not need it as much as a working class family may, seen as most mental health issues lie with the impoverished. This film says a lot without coming off as insincere as other comic book character films do. It doesn't cram a message down your face with a one liner, nor does it try and deprocate itself through "self-aware comedy" like every other Marvel film (hint hint "What Are Those!" and every line said to make the characters awkward after a big moment)

This feels like a true Tragedy. The art style of the film, the soundtrack with those harsh strings, vivid lighting in sections, and the overall design and portrayal of the character is in a world of its own. I thought nothing could top Ledger's performance, but honestly, Phoenix has me convinced.… Expand

If you were expecting a "comic-book" origin story, you came to the wrong movie, but I walked in knowing that already when the first trailer was released. It's a conflicting film of one man's spiral into his own madness and feels too real at times. He doesn't become the joker until the end of the movie, it's more about Author's descent into becoming this character is what makes this an amazing film. It is unnerving, but that feeling is what a Joker movie should be in away. There are moments of the film that blur the line between reality and fantasy, that to me is another detail that screams who joker real is, with the only answer is multiple choice of who he is or was. If there was a Joker origin story that was true to the comics, it probably wouldn't be as impactful R rated or not. This movie will be discussed and analyzed in future youtube theory/philosophical vids much like the Nolan Trilogy has been studied. As a casual Batman and Joker fan, I enjoyed this film and knew what I was going to get from this and still feel puzzled at the end of what was true and was false. But that's up to you to decide.… Expand
