A beautiful masterpiece highlighting the internal struggles all of us face as human beings (isolation, depression, failure) compounded with the devastating effects of living in a society.

The story of Arthur Fleck is not unlike your typical loner/outcast. He is a simple man with dreams and a good heart. However, dreams can't fall short and hearts can blacken. The people in Arthur's life are selfish, cruel, and humiliating to the point of corrupting Arthur into the anti-hero we know and love, Joker.

Joker's message isn't a political statement. It isn't meant to sound any alarms. It's the purest form of rebellion against the society that cast him down: chaos.

In this character-driven movie that takes its time and leaves you clutching at the edge of your seat, you will be absorbed in the waking nightmare of a desolate soul. The level of tension this movie brings is indescribable. It is a must see for anyone thrown into the thorny clutches of society, ready and willing to drag themselves out. Thank you Todd Phillips. Thank you.

Throughout most of the movie, I forgot I was watching a comic book movie. Make no mistake, thisHaving seen Joker a second time, I can confirm that this movie is a character study filled with strong performances that drip off of the screen. Throughout most of the movie, I forgot I was watching a comic book movie. Make no mistake, this is an incredibly timely, hard hitting drama that has a lot to say without being overly political.

To address the controversy surrounding this film: this movie is not a glorification of incel culture at all. To make that claim is disingenuous at best. I find it hard to believe that anyone would walk out of this movie and think that Arthur Fleck is a hero. However, the movie dares you to feel empathy for him, and I definitely did. Joker really paints a bleak picture of a society that treats the suffering, mentally ill poor like garbage, and then shows apathy when violence does break out.

On that note, the violence in this film is not overly gorey, but it is extremely realistic, and this is not a movie for the faint of heart. In addition to the very real violence, this movie is a story of a deeply disturbed man who has an increasingly more terrifying psychotic breakdown over the film's two hour runtime. Joaquin Phoenix is terrifying to behold, and he gives one of the best performances I have seen all year. People will not soon forget his scary performance, and I think he will stand proudly beside the likes of Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill when it comes to great Jokers.

As far as the script, it's pretty darn good. It weaves a nuanced, complex argument about mental illness and classism. This story dares the audience to examine their own treatment of the mentally ill in their lives, and whether or not we really care about them. This movie is brave enough to ask whether our societal apathy is responsible for people going off the deep end and committing gruesome crimes. From a cinematography stand point, the camera work and shot structure is hideously immaculate. It constructs a really dirty, scummy underbelly of a city with striking beauty.

The soundtrack is great. The music always comes from the world of the movie, and the use of Frank Sinatra is just terrifying to hear. It's very inventive, and I enjoyed pretty much the entire score.

My only two qualms with the movie are that it is a very, very on-the-nose take on Taxi Driver, and that it is a slow burn. If you do decide to see this movie, it is well worth the slow burn, and you will find that this is a movie that demands multiple viewings, and one that will haunt you to the core.

How you choose to treat these people can have serious consequences. Pheonix was outstanding and if that’s not an Oscar worthy performance then just stop the Oscars because they’re a joke.

2019's "Joker" is honestly a bit of an enigma, with controversy on one side, acclaim on the other, and a debate as to the film's true messages and quality raging all the while. So as someone who went in with next to no expectations, only a2019's "Joker" is honestly a bit of an enigma, with controversy on one side, acclaim on the other, and a debate as to the film's true messages and quality raging all the while. So as someone who went in with next to no expectations, only a rudimentary knowledge of the background discussion, and a healthy distrust of many of DC's more recent film offerings, what did I think?

I think "Joker" is most-definitely a good film, but not a great one, all down to one fatal flaw. It unfortunately never stops leaping for that mystical "higher bar", the legendary status enjoyed by films like The Dark Knight, and in that eagerness overreaches and kills its true potential. At its most sincere, "Joker" succeeds in being a convincingly fiery crucible to forge such a legendary villain, but especially in the beginning, turns up the heat even more to the point of self-parody.

When we're first dropped onto the dismal-yet-familiar streets of Gotham, the film wastes no time in setting the world against Phoenix's Arthur Fleck, and that over-eagerness was my core issue. There's no buildup, no hope, no sense of potential wasted: Without any world-building or context, Fleck existing just to get beaten down and beaten down is shockingly ineffective, proving the film's priorities are focused on the goal, rather than the beginning. Gangs of bullies and ruthless bosses feel more forced than villainous, transparent mechanisms that exist solely to get the character where he needs to be, rather than to provide the organic descent and societal backdrop we were promised. It feels shallow, and in essence, the film would've benefited from taking its foot of the accelerator for a moment and smelling the roses, because as it stands, "Joker" starts off doing 90 mph in a fifty, and hits you with all the subtlety and depth of a freight train.

However, once the wheels are in motion and Fleck's descent begins, director Todd Phillips and Phoenix are more able to run wild, and this is where the film truly shines. After a shaky opening, the ensuing roller-coaster ride is truly a sight to behold. And why wouldn't it be? Hasn't the Joker always been more effective in the present, did Heath Ledger need a backstory to succeed? No! As we watch both Gotham and Fleck unravel, every revelation and every depraved act comes as a gut-punch, all building up to a live finale that perfectly fits the tone of the film while feeling authentically Joker, and an ending that wisely avoids the expected cliches and ends on a note of glee. Here, the Joker becomes a twisted hero in his own way. It wasn't the success Arthur Fleck had hoped for, but it feels like destiny nonetheless, and by the end all force and stiffness from the start of "Joker's" world fades away into a feeling of chilling plausibility.

So to conclude, I would recommend "Joker" for anyone looking for a fresh take on the classic character. This isn't your typical superhero flick, and while the darkness and violence may be a turn-off for some, it's an experience most will enjoy. It's a film that starts off unconvincingly, but is sure to leave an impact by the end. And with such large clown-shoes to fill, "Joker" more or less reaches the bar.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It was an OK movie, it was definitely not bad, but it felt shallow and empty. It was definitely saved by Joaquin Phoenix's performance. The backstory of the Joker feels kinda repetitive and takes too much time to get to the point everyone expects. Last act felt like it was no Joker at all but someone straight from Rupaul's Drag Race. Mannerisms were off the charts.

This movie just really had no point to exist, it showed us nothing new or nothing we didn't expect already. It's just a movie about already highly violent man, who blames the society (which is also depicted way over the top) for his actions. Cannot really recommend unless you like strong performances.

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.

In a world where critics give something so dull and predictable as Wonder Woman raving reviews but can’t seem to appreciate something pretty complex like The Joker, well I think I’ve finally joined the majority in saying they don’t understand jack. I thoroughly enjoyed The Joker. In fact, I stayed up all night because I couldn’t stop thinking about the possibilities or wrap my mind around Expand

I seriously hope journalists get massively fired to experience what poverty is like and why this isn't just another cliched movie but a masterpiece.

However, after all the comments and articles about how this movie is absolutely removed from everything from the comics, I expected just a good movie with a great performance from Joaquin Phoenix. Then, when I actually saw the movie I was really surprised. Because not only it was a great movie itself, but it was also a brilliant version of that world from the comic books and a Joker himself. It really reminded me of ''the Killing Joke'' that did something similar with the character of Joker. It made you feel empathy towards him, but at the same time you were not rooting for him, it made him more human. He was just a crazy person that had a rough life. He wasn't really a supervillain, which explains why Batman was even trying to help him in the end, but it was too late. Well, that's basically what happens in this movie. It just chooses a different path. It doesn't make him crazy through a chan of chemicals. It doesn't do it in one day. A few days. Or maybe even a life. You can see why Batman would do the same thing. Why he would try to help him. But just like in the comic, because of everything that happens in this movie, it would have been too late for that. So, as a fan of batman comic books, I was extremely happy. But again, it was also a great film in general. Cinematography, script, acting, directing, the score. Especially the score! It's the best score that I've heard this year. And of course, the performance of Joaquin Phoenix is just incredible. It's hard even to describe, you just have to see it. And no surprise that there is so much controversy around this film. Because it is controversial. It talks about difficult topics, but it doesn't hold one particular point of view on them. It's up to you how to interpret it. And I just wish people would try to look at this film from different angles, rather than just claim that their point of view is the only one. Expand

When watching this movie you are watching Arthur, not an actor. My heart was racing throughout the majority of this film. Arthur is unpredictable. In fact everything is unpredictable. No matter what your expectations are, this movie is not what you expect. You are not watching a DC film. You are not watching a movie about the classic villain we've all come to know and love. This movie is about a man who you may think loses himself, or finds himself. I think that he was only able to find himself after losing himself. But the one thing that makes this Joker so unique is that he's human. You can see the man behind the makeup, a man who's just hurting.

Watch it there's no action just disturbing images of pure rage and incredible acting compose by the amazing score of music. Joker is Phoenix but the music its also Joker my god it's so great how well that blends from beginning to the very end. Gotham looks incredibly looks real and it felt real, this movie can stand on its own and DC can go suck it please let this be the route to more of this artistic masterpieces. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie has me battling with myself. I went in expecting to see the Joker from Batman, instead i saw a man suffering a mental breakdown. If the movie I had paid to see was titled as so I would be standing up shouting from the rooftops about the movie that portrayed the descendence of a mind into a place of despair. The acting would be top level and the feel and pace of the movie would have been perfect. Phoenix's portrayal is fantastic and is at times purposely cringe worthy watching. That being said I had went to watch a portrayal of Batmans arch nemesis The Joker. This was not even close to the character, he wasnt smart, in fact he appeared to have a learning difficulty, he was in no way close to the Joker of the comic franchise. As for the Batman timeline, the movie made no sense at all. It portrayed Bruce Wayne as 10 yrs old and Joker as approx 40yrs old. Joker shud be retiring when Batman gets going. As for the Wayne family name this movie doesnt treat it like the shining beacon in society, with suggestions of affairs and Thomas Wayne's public suggestion of Society being clowns.

This movie was as far as it could be from being a Batman movie

If u want to watch a movie about a man having a mental breakdown. Its well acted and directed, its pace slow enough to watch the breakdown happen in great detail.
As a movie its depicting that its 8 possibly 9/10

BUT it was supposed to be about the Joker, and if you want to watch the Joker from Batman then this isnt the movie for you, you should go and re watch Heath Ledger give a masterclass in the Dark Knight.

From Iron Man launching a franchise bigger than any interconnected cinematic franchise in history to The Dark Knight being known as one of the best films of all time, we're currently living in the golden age of comic book adaptations, so it should come as no surprise that a few unexpected outings would be attempted as well. Joker has now hit theatres and while I can say right off the top that it won't be for all moviegoers, this is a fantastic piece of storytelling. Being alone his entire life and thrown to the side by society, Arthur Fleck still lives with his mother well into adulthood and has a full-time job as a street clown. Having a condition that causes him to uncontrollably laugh, this character study is engaging from start to finish. Slowly realizing the truth about his life, things begin to devolve into chaos in his mind. Joker is simply a study of the mind of someone who has nothing left to live for or be happy about. For this reason alone, this is going to be a tough watch for certain viewers. Having a homicidal maniac as your core focus is not exactly an easy sell. Now, Joker shares quite a few similarities to other classic films, which is being criticized a lot throughout many reviews, but I didn't see that as a negative. There are so many formulas that have been emulated to create great works of fiction that calling this movie a rip-off would be an insult to the filmmakers. On top of that, this movie is held together by a performance by Joaquin Phoenix that's truly out of this world, so any minor issues I had were usually overshadowed by him. Phoenix's portrayal of this character, like every actor who has played this character in the past, is extremely committed, whether or not you like the outcome. Thankfully, I think his portrayal is completely different from anyone who came before him, making this movie one that will be able to stand on its own for a long time. From his quirks when the film begins to where he ends up during the final act, each and every moment was riveting. In the end, Joker does borrow a little too much from classic to really call it a masterpiece or perfect, but it's pretty close in my opinion, in terms of holding your interest for an unlikely anti-hero. It's directed very, very well by Todd Phillips and I was more than happy to see him evolve as a filmmaker here. This is something that I never thought I would see him do and, aside from the level of great comedy in a movie like The Hangover, this is probably his best work to date. I loved nearly everything about this movie, even though it will upset some viewers and make them feel very uncomfortable. In fact, for that reason alone, it has done its job very well. You're not supposed to root for him, but rather understand where his actions come from. This is a great film. Expand
