Aside from being masterfully shot, edited, acted and directed, the film is dangerous for all the right reasons. It casts a revealing light against us as a society in 2019 - how we treat each other, brush anything we don’t like or aren’t prepared to deal with under the carpet and most of all how the media and social elites tell us what to think, who to idolise, what we can or can’t like or find funny. The socio-political commentary took me completely by surprise in what is also a fantastic character study of a poor, lonely loser struggling with mental illness -who goes completely ignored through life when he’s not being bullied- and how this person finds less and less reasons to be polite and ‘put on a happy face’. Arthur is an underdog we all recognise, regardless of our race or gender, and the film raises the question that perhaps we need to look at ourselves closer in how we treat those in less fortunate situations than our own. It’s easy in this age of electronic distractions to adopt an ‘I’m alright Jack’ attitude, and perhaps it’s this ignorance to the cries for help of others that creates the Jokers of the real world.

This is the most relevant and important film of our time.… Expand

Only in fascist countries do the financial elite try and shackle, completely propagandize the creative process, reduce it purely to politics- and in our case, also clickbait headlines for social media 'engagement' i.e. ad revenue. It's manipulative and degenerative, and until the root of the problem is addressed, namely authoritarian control of the press w almost no transparency, oversight, or accountability- and digital, algorithmic suppression of alternative points of view- you will see what you do with the Joker- a very good film, which wins awards, people enjoy as a majority, but that CIA/Pentagon/Silicon Valley mouthpiece news critics, placed on high on their neoliberal/neocon pedestals for either side of the reactonary circus, will always be ready to try and ram some other idea of a film, book, music down everyone's throat, not because it's what they think, but because they are hired PR goons paid to anger people for maximum coverage. It makes it all less enjoyable, totally degrades the experience all around. If you are sick of seeing this happen- look into #1vs5i . Whether on the net, or on YT- genuine films like the Joker need to be received with genuine journalism- not revolving-door fascism.… Expand

Yes the joker performance of Ledger puts you on the edge of your seat - but so do Phoenix's - but for different reasons. People forget that this is a Joker movie, not a Batman movie. Such a bitter sweet Joker origin story simply didn't exist. The lonliness, the frustration just everything is so well played you can feel it deep inside your guts. And it's the first time EVER you really sympathize with and care about the character out of compassion rather then just because the joker is a "cool" character like in all the other performances. But again, that's because it's a joker movie while all the others are batman movies. Joaquin Phoenix's Performance is just outstanding. I personally would rather watch two more hours of "Joker" then two more hours of "The Dark Knight". "Batman Begins" and "Joker" are the two best origin movies ever created. Best Batman - Best Joker.… Expand

For decades now, the comic book genre has always seen spectacle, fantasy, powers and it's mostly fantastical. However, in recent years, we have seen them evolve and try to put characters in the front, there have been many great deep characterFor decades now, the comic book genre has always seen spectacle, fantasy, powers and it's mostly fantastical. However, in recent years, we have seen them evolve and try to put characters in the front, there have been many great deep character moments in the genre with films from; 'The Dark Knight' (2008), 'Logan' (2017) and even 'Avengers: Endgame' (2019) focusing greatly on characters dealing with the situations they are in with those respective stories. Enter 'Joker', the latest standalone DC film from director Todd Phillips ('The Hangover') and he uses Joaquin Phoenix in the title role to tell this story of a man named Arthur Fleck. Arthur lives a very quiet, if not, insignificant life as a clown who holds up sale signs, he aspires to be a stand-up comedian and lives in a small apartment with his mother whose mental issues seem to pass onto him. Every night, Arthur and his mother like to watch "Live with Murray Franklin", and enjoy watching the talk show host Franklin (Robert DeNiro) bringing a sense of light and fun into their lives. The movie mainly focuses greatly on Arthur, and his turn from socially awkward individual, into a psychologically damaged sociopath. He has a condition which makes him laugh out loud uncontrollably in awkward situations, and he gets medication regularly to keep him sane. However, when a series of bad things happen to him day after day, and nothing seems to improve, Arthur then begins to question if it's him that's the problem, or is it the outside world. The film is appropriately bleak, and sets a very uncomfortable tone, with Phillips deliberately holding onto long shots for extended periods of time to create a sense of unease. Not to mention that you do feel bad for Arthur, the movie is very much told from his point of view, so you come to understand why Arthur behaves the way he does, not that it's justified, but it's in the nature of his character. As you know, the Joker has an infamously non-existent origin story. We just know him as a deranged clown who murders for the thrill. Here, Phillips has given the character, not only a name, but a plausible origin story that could work as a prequel to 'The Dark Knight' (2008), with some things altered here and there, of course. Phoenix is also terrific in the role, as his presence makes you feel unclean and uncomfortable, his voice and mannerisms convey a sympathetic sociopath, and there is even some subtlety to it as well. He doesn't try too hard to chew up the scenery, he just behaves appropriately to the environment that surrounds him. Not since the late Heath Ledger, have we seen this iconic Batman villain portrayed with such skill. Placing a comic book character and grounding him in a more realistic reality, just as James Mangold did to Wolverine with 'Logan' (2017), was definitely a smart move. It will remind you of two Scorsese classics such as; 'Taxi Driver' (1976) and 'The King of Comedy' (1982), both of which also star Robert DeNiro. I think it's great that the comic book genre was able to arrive at a point to tell a psychopathic story, we've never seen that in this genre before. Who knows when it will be the next time we see another comic film like this, but the fact that they can mix it up means this genre can bring surprises and is here to stay.… Expand

This character was portrait-ed multidimensional by Phoenix! It was about time to expose today's society. This movie will shock you in a way, make you sad and at the end it will make you happy with the Batman connection and the comic and gaming scene!

I'm definitely burnt out on origin stories lately, and furthermore, I've always liked Joaquin Phoenix as an actor, but I wasn't too sure if he'd have what it takes to get this iconic role just right, something only 'The Dark Knight's' Heath Ledger has managed to do so far in my opinion. After seeing this... I can confidently say that I really could've done without this film. I found myself thoroughly unimpressed with just about every scene, moment, etc. The entire film felt sleazy to a fault, seeming content to wallow in its own filth and misery. In addition, the film definitely seemed like it was short on ideas, which would explain why half the film seemingly consisted of scenes of Phoenix doing nothing but dancing, laughing manically, and acting like a fool. It really felt like nothing more than an excuse for him to act like his usual weird self for two long hours. For those hoping that he'd live up to the hype that he supposedly surpasses Ledger's performance as the Joker, in my eyes, it's no contest. Ledger is still far and out the superior performance. I could tell Phoenix was having fun with his take on the character, but that's about it. Overall, not only did this film feel quite unnecessary, to me, it was also self-pitying and forgettable.… Expand

Do you want to see just how bad someone has to have it that it brings him joy to watch the world burn? This is your film. And there lies my personal problem with the film. It does this so well, that I genuinely felt disturbed watching it. Many of the scenes get real, and you might find yourself seeing people you know, or even yourself, in the Joker. I walked out of the theater just flat out uncomfortable, and a bit depressed. I recommend this movie to anyone looking to explore the things that can make one so miraculously cynical. The film does a phenomenal job looking into those themes. Just don't expect to have a good time watching it.… Expand

This movie is a grimy, depressive arthouse trudge down the stairs of madness and corruption. Joaquin Phoenix gives the best performance of his life as Arthur Fleck, a man who seems to be born on the wrong side of the bed. Whereas Ledger's Joker says "all you need is one bad day to reduce a man to madness," Phoenix's Joker seems to say "all you need is one good day to save a man from madness."

This movie is a masterpiece. Please go see it. Every level is excellent. Phoenix delivers the ultimate performance, the soundtrack is haunting, the message is badly needed. I will see this movie again and again.… Expand

The message Joker appears to give it's simple: If you're laughing of me instead of with me then you will suffer and despair because of me. A harsh and obscure statement but it's not away from reality.

For comic book readers this film can beThe message Joker appears to give it's simple: If you're laughing of me instead of with me then you will suffer and despair because of me. A harsh and obscure statement but it's not away from reality.

For comic book readers this film can be considered as a story of the disappeared Elseworlds label or the new DC Black Label. However, there's something that bothers me a lot about it and that is that Joker itself has nothing of the Joker.

Although the film seems to take certain inspirations from the character's stories, especially The Killing Joke, in a way, an essential way, Todd Phillips created the story of a mentally ill person and disguised him as the Joker and that's a problem because although it addresses a different perspective of the character's beginnings, in reality the Joker, the image itself is just a simple collateral element of the film's character's job.

The clown means nothing, not even in the political and social context that the director tried to give to his story.
The clown is only the chosen costume. It could have been something else but that ultimately wouldn't have been the Joker and believe me when I tell you that a film about a mentally ill person with murderous tendencies is much more commercial when you sell it as a famous character, than if you had only made a film about a mentally ill person with murderous tendencies.

Unfortunately Joker is an interesting story of misery and rot but unable to be more provocative and frankly the story is barely enough to compensate for the entire film. It's the performance of Joaquin Phoenix that sustains it.
Todd Phillips makes clear how limited he is as a filmmaker because he never achieves a memorable or spectacular scene, he just drives the story while letting Phoenix do his job. No one else in the cast is relevant, not even De Niro, they're just people around Arthur Fleck and his mental descent which reaches its breaking point in that violent final stretch but unfortunately never feels like the Joker, or at least the Joker who has always been known.

Joker isn't a bad film at all but I don't see nothing great either.
It's a different perspective and a different approach to comic book adaptations and shows that contrasting takes can be made with such stories and characters and for me that's a good thing.

And personally despite the good work of Phoenix and although the comparison might be unfair, Heath Ledger's performance remains unrivaled.… Expand

Everybody who goes to see this movie will probably walk away thinking the exact same thing and know what the message is. At this point I think it’s pretty obvious what everybody already knows and I’m just going to put in my five cents and that’s Joaquin Phoenix is amazing as Arthur Fleck/Joker and he definitely deserves an Oscar nomination for his role. He went all-in with this character showing the different stages in his life and making everybody feel bad for him. At certain points in the film, I felt really bad for the guy and wanted to help him out because nobody deserves to be treated that way. It also helps that he didn’t start out as wanting to become the Joker but society just helped turn him into him. Robert De Niro, who plays Murray Franklin, probably won’t get an Oscar nomination for supporting actor but he still did a standout job with his character. Another thing that stood out to me was the cinematography of the movie and how it helped show Arthur’s slow descent into madness and how he views the world. I feel like some people are waiting for me to hate on the pacing of this film and honestly, I had no problem with it at all. If the movie was any longer it would have felt like it was dragging on and any shorter and they would have rushed the Joker transformation. But with that in mind, this film is like most people have said already and that’s a character story. So, if you don’t want to watch a story about a man who’s driven to his breaking point and wants to see an action superhero then stay home and watch The Dark Knight. I love how the costume was different from any Joker suit we’ve seen before, though it’s hard to replicate without buying a store-bought costume. The music by Hildur Guonadottir was amazing. In the end, this movie is an amazing character story with an important message.… Expand

I don't think that since The Rocky Horror Picture Show's sequel Shock Treatment that I've had such a conflict over how I feel about a film. I think I equally like and dislike this movie.

First off, I'll confirm most of the good things that everyone's been saying: This has some very interesting looks at wealth inequality, the failings of mental health care, what can cause the result of psychopathic attacks, and the basic human apathy and failure of humankid to take care of itself in general. There are a lot of really top notch lines and scenes in this. The final act is something. It leaves quite the impression.

The whole things looks great. Director Todd Phillips provides such an impressive look and sound to the film. Some great cinematography. Dirty, crowded, crime-laden Gotham looks great. Both score and song selections really guide the mood.

Again I must parrot what everyone's saying: Joaquin Phoenix delivers what could be an Oscar-winning performance as the lead. He is so nuanced and excels at making you feel uncomfortable. Joaquin has such a unique body language in this. This version of the Joker has a condition where he can laugh uncontrollably, and the actor does a great job of making it feel realistic and unpleasant. He also appears to have lost a lot of weight in this. The Joker is traditionally portrayed as a skinny feller but here the movie uses this to make the character feel at times downright primal or sickly, matching his mental state.

However, the movie should not have been two hours long. In order to show the events that create the Joker, Phillips over-compensates and throws way too many plot points at the guy. There are moments that are quite tedious, especially in the middle. There is a also a subplot I was really not found of that reeks of uninspired fan-fiction.

To be honest, this was such a grounded piece by superhero comic standards that it could've been a non-comic book film. Yeah, DC is trying to show that these films can be more prestigious and serious, but by taking out the over-the-top parts of the superhero genre, I feel we may lose what made them special in the first place.

This is the first real comic supervillain movie. (Venom's movie was an anti-hero flick.) But taking the comics into account: his isn't the first attempt to redo a supervillain's origina story. I feat that a lot of these stories frustratingly tend to recycle concepts and this is no exception. These include: 1) Make the villain's story darker than previous incarnations. 2) Have one of their few connections be with a mother and/or romantic interest or fixation (Zazie Beets' character could've been cut out of this completely without changing anything).

Considering that this is about a burgeoning psychopath, you can probably guess, but just to confirm: this is a REALLy dark movie. Violence doesn't happen all the time but when it does: Whoo-boy! Phillips has publicly mentioned that the films of Scorses, such as Taxi Driver and The Comedian, greatly influenced him. So, be forewarned if that's not your thing.

I really had a hard time deciding on the rating for this. On one hand, Phillips, who has directed comedies up till now, surprisingly pulls off quite a confident, intriguing cinematic experience. The movie managed to elicit an emotional response from me that very few films have. However, the issues I mentioned prevented me from loving this or watching a second time. Some of the theater audience at the end clapped, but I personally don't think the movie was strong enough to justify that.… Expand

The first act drags a little bit but is more than made up for by the solid second and truly masterful third act that will leave you breathless and terrified walking out of the theater. I would see this movie for the third act and climax alone. On top of that, the gritty 70s-inspired Gotham, Phillips' directing, many poignant themes, and soundtrack (specifically score) are truly amazing. Albeit not a perfect movie, Joker is a film experience that will send shivers down your spine more than any horror movie these days and stick with you for years to come.
