I am not a professional film critic, but this movie is a complete work of art. The soundtrack really adds tension to the scenes, and Phoenix's laugh is torturous (he deserves an oscar, and I'm not exaggerating). I felt sorry for Arthur FleckI am not a professional film critic, but this movie is a complete work of art. The soundtrack really adds tension to the scenes, and Phoenix's laugh is torturous (he deserves an oscar, and I'm not exaggerating). I felt sorry for Arthur Fleck for most of the movie, but in the end he became the scary and inhuman Joker. I didn't find this movie violent, in fact the violent scenes are raw and well filmed. I feel sick for ideological critics who see politics in everything and think this movie can have a bad influence. **** Art is not intended to moralize anyone.
  Although I don't like comic books, it's a realistic movie and I liked this style! I hope to watch again to capture all the details.

Absolute masterpiece. All these hypocrites saying they walked out or were offended, yet will happily sit through John Wicke, the equaliser, IT, and enjoy the gratuitous violence. This film shows why violence is a bad thing, and why it isAbsolute masterpiece. All these hypocrites saying they walked out or were offended, yet will happily sit through John Wicke, the equaliser, IT, and enjoy the gratuitous violence. This film shows why violence is a bad thing, and why it is such an evil thing to bully a vulnerable person and treat them with contempt for simply existing. I believe why people are getting so offended is because the film brings home a number of issues currently affecting today’s society. The truth hurts. It offers realism and an insight into the minds of some of our peers who are suffering from mental health issues and have lost their way. Phoenix's portrayal is truly masterful, he deserves acclaim for his performance. The story is moving, dark and emotional. The film is not that gory at all, I have seen much worse. Don’t listen to the weak minded who are scared of this film. It is absolutely worth a watch and will go down in history as one of the best films of all time. The controversy is unfounded and pathetic. People of today can not cope with being shown reality. This film turns the joker into a human being, and for that it should be commended and all involved should be very proud. Expand

Its so piercing that you will actually have a new discovered sense of understanding about movies. I loved the movie, but I don't know if I can say that I was happy watching it. That was my new discovered sense of understanding and feeling movies. I just loved the story that was being told. For me, it wasn't a movie.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me start by saying that Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job at portraying an unnerving malnourished mess. The movie even did a terrific job at transporting us to 1970s crumbling Gotham city gripped in turmoil.

However, the movie failed to portray any resemblance of Joker and seemingly attempted to justify his extremist violent behavior.

If any resemblance of the real joker were in this movie it would have been something fairly small that would have caused him to crack or perhaps he would have started killing just for the hell of it. The monster that is joker would've seeded protests, manipulated the police against the protesters, and ultimately incited chaos in some genius orchestration just to counterbalance justice...

That's not Arthur. Arthur seems to be a character on the surface that might have been plucked from Clockwork Orange, Falling Down, or Taxi Driver... but he's actually something new. you see none of those potential inspirations repeatedly make a defense or justification for the characters decent. The movie repeatedly attempts (unsuccessfully) to garner sympathy for Arthur. first off it's not his fault as he is mentally I'll die to a brain injury he sustained as an abused child. he's next repeatedly bullied throughout the movie. the state then cuts off his medical supplies due to budget cuts. he becomes delusional off his meds and starts to fall deeper through the cracks whilst accidentally inspiring class warfare that parallels the occupy movement in its adoption of a symbolic mask and anger against wealth inequality. He finally becomes "the joker" giving a speech about how general society never thinks about what the bad guy might be going through (please don't try to make me feel for the criminally insane) and how society failed him and he was only brought on the show to be bullied. he then shoots the host and the protesters turn to violent rioters.

in short the cold calculating jokers have all been replaced by a fumbling mentally ill sad victim. the movie seems to attempt justification for violent incels while villainizing the disgruntled lower class. for a hero movie it had some warped political narratives embedded.

As I said though... Phoenix was amazing.

People are going to get upset thinking the Joker is a protagonist that the movie is encouraging you to root for. I highly disagree. This movie is a character-study not asking you to sympathize the anti-hero but to understand him. If you thought you could go to an origin story about a villain and not be uncomfortable then I'm not sure how to console you. The movie is a masterpiece and DC absolutely needs to head in this direction to save us from the cursed Disney Marvel content that has no heart but ironically is praised by the critics. Expand

The movie does a great job as a cautionary tale on the dangers of the epidemic of mental illness of our time and of the urgent need to shed a new light on it. It has the audience questioning the unnecessary inequalities that surround us and the imperstive need to reflect deeply on the social movements that promise change from a place of resentment. While Joker tumbles between reality and fantasy he’s at times frightening, seductive, pathetic, repulsive and endearing. He’s so right at questioning the sanity of a world that has him completely disenfranchised that I found myself rooting for him to get justice although I could never condone his violence. He just deserves to see that world go up in flames, and the world definitely deserves this son for no one could deny that he has come from its loins. Expand

To me this joker is as good as Ledger's specially because it depicts an origin story so it's not competing but more portraying a new phacet of an iconic character. An abolute MUST watch. Expand

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

Best movie I've seen in a while to put it short.

I hadnt actually been out to see a movie in a long time and with all the hype I went into it skeptical, assuming it would be mediocre and everyone was just blowing things out of proportion.

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.

I would say see this one in theaters!

"Joker" descenso a la locura (crítica sin spoilers)

Ayer pude ver Joker en una función "XD 2D" y sin duda alguna puedo decir que es una de las películas mas honestas de este último año, tiene un grado de cuidado bastante enfermizo, todo, absolutamente todo me ha encantado.
El soundtrack te envuelve en cada momento para ponerte en constante tensión ya que a pesar de que muchas canciones son alegres o animadas, combinadas de tal forma con las escenas de esta genial película siempre te deja un sabor de alerta.
La fotografía es alucinante, pocas películas tienen tan buena fotografía como esta, grandes planos que podrías hacerlos pinturas y colgarlas en la pared.
Para actuaciones tenemos al que realmente es la estrella de la película Joaquin Phoenix que interpreta no solo al payaso trastornado de ciudad gótica de manera genial, sino también al hombre común antes de transformarse en el Joker, en ambos papeles se desenvuelve de manera tan genial que llegas a empatizar de manera tóxica con este personaje, Robert de Niro también hace muy bien su papel junto a Zazie Bets, pero realmente la actuación de Phoenix opaca por completo el resto de interpretaciones, tanto es así que en lo único que pensaras después de ver esta película sera en el Joker de Phoenix, yo por ejemplo ni hable de Robert de Niro en todo el camino de vuelta a casa con mi enamorada.
El guión que es de las cosas obviamente más importantes de cualquier película, es sin dudas muy interesante aunque no muy complicado, creo yo que esta película no desea abarcar una trama muy compleja, sí, toca temas políticos, sociales, algunos trastornos e injusticia pero lo hace de una manera bastante simple, como un ejemplo : "el rico solo se preocupa por él y su círculo, o la sociedad de hoy en día es indiferente" son temas que no son muy complejos y la película sabe que los entenderás sin abarcar en exceso en ellos, a pesar de eso la película esta muy bien construida y parece que algunos creen que es algo lenta pero para mí la actuación de Phoenix hace la película muy llevadera y te deja con ganas de más.
En cuanto adaptación, me parece que la película cumple perfectamente con llevar la total esencia del Joker a la pantalla grande, el narcisismo de este como en los cómics, los movimientos, el trastorno, la risa y la frialdad para cometer crímenes son lo que encamina perfectamente lo que un fan puede pensar cuando hablan del Joker.
El director o guionista sin duda solo con la película se nota que son fans de Batman y de su archienemigo Joker ya que al menos para mí esta bastante inspirada en "The killing Joke" de Alan Moore, hay muchas referencias al mundo DC que se te vienen a la cabeza como el Joker de "Batman el caballero de la noche regresa parte 2 (cómic y película animada)" e incluso la serie Gotham parecen inspirar este fantástico trabajo de Todd Phillips.
Sin embargo a pesar de todas estas cosas buenas técnicamente hablando, si es recomendable tener creo que fuerza para verla, ya que sin duda es una tragedia que deberás ver sabiendo justamente eso, es muy depresiva, incluso abarca el terror en varios momentos, bastante cruda y la clasificación "R" no lo tiene solo para atraer a más público, realmente hace un buen uso de esta categoría.
Sin duda Joker es una película que es difícil de ver pero que todos deberían verla y una muy fuerte candidata para los oscars en todos los aspectos posibles, que esperas, ve al cine y juzga tu mismo/a.
Calificación: 10/10 (seré honesto no estoy nominando todos los aspectos de esta película a los oscars sin pensar que ha acertado al máximo en cada punto)

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

Joaquin Phoenix's performance as the Joker is on par with Heath Ledger in my opinion. From the subtle expressions to the immense tension building throughout the movie, one could almost forget that this movie is set in the Batman universe. The movie is able to stand on its own expressing a tragedy through amazing story telling and character development (or rather descent). An excellent recommendation for movie goers. You get what you deserve and we all deserve this considering the modern day agendas. Expand

The film is terrifying, and makes you have a weird introspective look at your self. Beautifully crafted the only reason it's not a 10/10 is because some scenes drag.

But, this wasn't a "Batman" movie, obviously, and I read no reviews and went in with no expectations, except one. I was postive that they picked the wrong guy for the Joker. I was hilariously wrong. 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would say that this film really brought some perspective in life on how hard life events can be, and how we take them. We see a monster hiding in the shadows of Arthur but we cannot stop but feel bad fkr the guy. You see life **** on him, time and time again. Some of these life events we've suffered, and we see how it could of been.

This movie really had me engaged with how Arthur Fleck becomes demented and deranged. I couldn't take my eyes off him because with every bad thing that happens to him you see that he's just losing his mind in a very believable way. Joaquin Phoenix delivered an excellent performance and made me sympathize with his character who suffers from a condition that makes him laugh uncontrollably. It's not a action super villain movie, but rather a psychological thriller so don't get your hopes up in that regard. Rather, enjoy the movie for what it is: A one off film about a man who is broken down by society. No Joker is perfect, but all (except Jared Leto's) are respectable in their own right. Joaquin Phoenix's Joker earns its own spot. 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

I have waited for years for someone brave enough to write, produce and direct a film to do it justice and boy have they.

Phoenix Is phenomenal.

I will not say anything to spoil the film other than its stunning.

Forget how superhero movies make you feel. Forget that
Following in the paths of truly great movies like Taxi Driver and The Dark Knight, Joker (2019) is an in depth character study, with an electrifying performance by Joaquin Phoenix.

Forget how superhero movies make you feel. Forget that you're even going to watch a superhero movie. Joker is one of the most realistic and effective take on a villain that has been put up on the big screen for ages. Technically solid, Joker again showcases why Joaquin Phoenix is one of the best actors working today and why The Joker is probably the most interesting comic book villain.

The transition from a lonely loser to nothing less than a freedom fighter is depicted with style and vigour, the yellow and blue pallete, the nightscape of a very realistic Gotham providing a compelling backdrop to the crimes Joker commits -- which are in fact so relatable and understandable that viewers are forced to contemplate if what they're seeing on screen is actually moral or not. We all know the answer to that question however -- it is immoral. Crimes, especially murder is obviously, immoral. But the movie depicts a personality whose morality is dead. He's had enough. But the movie doesn't tell you that that's a good thing. It just depicts.

A Roger Ebert quote fits quite well here - It's not what a movie is about, it's how it is about it.

Joker doesn't shy away from gorey violence,and taking on controversial themes. And I liked that. Many didn't. Many thought the movie is spreading the "wrong message". To them I ask, tell me a villain who sends the "right message". I'll wait. Movies try so hard to portray a compelling character study of a protagonist who is a villain. They generally fail miserably in doing so. Joker smashes it out of the park.
