This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I saw Joker today. I’m not sure what I was expecting but I was very disturbed while watching this movie. I disagree with many who assess the Joker as an anti-hero. There’s absolutely nothing even remotely heroic about this character. In fact, I think the movie is commenting on how absurd the notion is at the end of the movie. The Joker character does nothing out of a political motivation. It’s all reaction and anger. Sure, he enjoys the attention it gets him but to call him a hero out of the insanity spiral that he rides to the end is absurd. The movement he sparks is entirely accidental and watching the crowd cheer him at the end is the pinnacle of deluded idiocy. They’ve turned a psychotic murderer into some kind of folk hero and I think the scene was intentionally meant to show this craziness for what it is. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t hate this movie. It was harrowing to watch this man come apart and descend into madness. It was well made but I think everyone is missing the point of Joker. He’s a villain and this movie show how he got there and how ridiculous it is to view him as anything else but a villain.… Expand

I very much enjoyed this film. It's a really gritty character study of quite possibly the most popular villian in all of comicsafter a couple of days of processing this film as one really needs to do afterwards, here are my thoughts on it

I very much enjoyed this film. It's a really gritty character study of quite possibly the most popular villian in all of comics which sets itself apart from all other films in the superhero/supervillian genre.

As the viewer we are invited to empathise with our protagonist Arthur Flack, an already very damaged man when we meet him, yet the degree of how damaged is only revealed later in the film. For the message of this film is monsters are rarely born, but created by other monsters. A statement which is very true in the world we live in. And yet still while making this point the film still successfully falls short of trying to justify any of his horrible actions he makes later as the joker. While at first it seems like a very straight forward narrative. As the film progresses it becomes increasingly clear that there is a lot more going on as it draws inspiration from some very prominent graphic novels such as The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns, and I do feel a second viewing may be required. Being set around the late 70s/early 80s, the film is made to look, though a combination of camera angles and colour palettes very much like films made in that era with a soundtrack to suit. It even intentionally parodies key films from that era, the 2 obvious ones being Taxi Driver and King of Comedy with Robert De Niro being cast as a very clear homage. Reasons for such parodies become clear upon the completion of the film.

The standout feature of this film is Joaquin Phoenix's performance, which is comparable to but still distinguished from Heath Ledgers Joker. I still don't know which one I prefer or if I prefer one over the other, as both work perfectly within their own films and I think can both sit at the top next to each other for their own reasons. Early on in the film there is a very specific and brilliant character trait revealed about Joaquin's character Arthur Fleck which completely alters the context of all his self expressions throughout the film.

Personally I think this film is best viewed as a very black comedy. And while it is probably not the best film made this year, it is still a very good film and is exactly what you want in a Joker movie, so from me gets 8/10

P.S. anyone going into this film expecting an incel hero worship narrative as promised in various articles online, you will not find that here, unless you go in completely ignorant of what is presented in front of you… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I loved joker. It is a nice change of pace from all the other comic book movies. It isn’t over the top action like avengers, it is more realistic and more violent. From the start you are hooked and can connect with Arthur. You want to feel sympathy for him, but as the movie goes on you may start to feel less and less sympathetic for him because of the choices he makes. The climax of the movie is very satisfying yet very dark, you feel good for Arthur but you don’t want to. The ending is also very good, it lets you choose what parts of the movie are real and what parts are just Arthur’s hallucinations or fantasies. My only problem with the film is that the movie has a very slow climb to the climax with only two or three scenes that have good action.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I heard mixed reviews on this film however I had to see for myself, and I am giving this film and eight. A hard to stomach production as we dive into the character we all know as The Joker. Growing up off of DC, we as the viewers are so accustomed to the playful yet hazardous cartoon character. There have been many times where we catch glimpses of the Dark-side the Joker portrays. That being said this film truly grasps the realism and humanity this very troubled being has to offer. Misunderstood and deeply disturbed. I could see how they were mixed reviews I neither love the character noor hated the character... but rather understood The ramifications. The unfortunate fact is, this film may have you truly cringing as you take a journey into to the mind of the Joker. The only reason for distastefulness I can justify is that there are people out in the word who truly suffer this way witch may cause a rebuttal.… Expand

The movie excels on telling a story about a slowly growing psychopath that gets where he is due to the society rejecting him, by showing it oppress Joker in a lot of ways that, while we don't agree at all with what he does at the end of the movie, we can't stop but feel sorry about him and even understand him a little. Speaking of the Joker, holy s*it, Joaquim Phoenix nailed on the role of the character! He managed to show us how a mentally ill man behaves without getting too much exaggerated to sound forced, he managed to give to us a brand new version of the character, which I enjoy WAY more than the original one, and it rivals with Robert Downey Jr to be the best actor to portray a comic book character until now. The direction is pretty solid, without any points where the quality of it decreases but without any highlights, and the soundtrack is really good. There are only two problems with the movie, the first being the guy that runs the television show, what he does during the movie doesn't make so much sense and it gets a bit ridiculous, I know that he is egocentric and all but that was simply way to unrealistic for me to ignore. The second one is that, despite Joaquim amazing performance, Arthur was not the most charismatic I have seen in a movie, outside of all the suffering and madness he goes through, I can't find much more character identity on him, we never saw him outside of an endless wheel of suffering that, I must admit, while good, started to get me tired on the last third of the movie. With that being said, the qualities overthrow the flaws, and the movie is really good, I just think while he performs everything very well, he excels at nothing outside Joaquim performance, and those two problems I stated previously really stop him from being a masterpiece, but he is worth your time. 8.5/10 Best DC movie.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Фильм хороший, но не идеальный. Так сюжет самой картины достоин уважения, актерская игра Хоакина Феникса превосходная, и по моему мнению превышает игру Леонардо Ди Каприо. В общем сюжет картины превосходен, но в реализации чувствуется небольшой бюджет, и из за этого имеются касяки в самом фильме: в моменте когда Феникс выходит на сцену в облике джокера, выбрасывая сигарету, видно как за кулисами один из людей съемочной группы убирает данную сигарету. Касяк был в стабилизации камеры: в некоторых моментах было поддергивание камеры. Касяк в пулевых ранениях: когда Феникс кого то убивал, то сзади жертвы вылетала кровь, но этого не могло быть, тк пистолет из которого убивали не мог сделать сквозное пулевое отверстие.

Joaquin Phoenix's acting is obviously the center of the movie as the plot revolves around the slow paced decay of Arthur (a.k.a.

Joker) mixed with the acceptance of himself. you can't really predict where the movie is going to take you, but that's the point. There's no hero and villain, this is not a standard comic book movie as it's closer in "style" to Birdman than to The Dark Knight. The idea here is to build a character, is to give a reason and an explanation to the mysteriousness of the Joker's past.
The role of the joker is one the most serious (pum kind of intended) nowadays and requires a lot of dedication from the actor as well as the writers and directors (otherwise you get Suicide Squad Joker) as you need to feel in the shoes of Heath Ledger and Jack Nicholson and although I don't believe Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is the best here, he did his research and really commited to the role and the result was so good that it's worth being mentioned alongside these names.
Joker is not a perfect masterpiece, but it's worth every Oscar nomination it got, especially for best actor. I definitely recommend watching this movie.… Expand

Joaquin Phoenix takes on some incredibly dark rolls and generally nails the performance.
Joker is another jewel in his crown. He threads subtle emotions in every dark corner and
becomes the Joker. Very well done cinematic movie.

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.

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.

His mental disease causes him an uncontrollable laughter that makes him look bad to the audience and ruin his jokes, stopping him from being a stand up comedian.
He gets fired for a certain reason and more bad stuff happen in the proccess.
In order to stop this tragedy, Arthur embraces his madness and decides to put an end to everything that harmed him for so long.
Now... I want to keep my thoughts as brief as I can.
The story was decent! It showed every single detail of Arthur's transformation and made it as engaging as possible.
The performances were among the best I've ever seen, especially from Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro.
There were plenty of impressive moments, and the music and the cinematography were amazing as well!
The only bad thing I have to say about this film is that it leaves more Joker sequences to be desired; the pacing feels slow.

Pros:
+ Interesting story
+ Phenomenal performance
+ Beautiful cinematography and music

Cons:
- Pacing issues

Narrative: 7/10
Performances: 10/10
Score: 9/10

Final Rating: 8.5/10
- Amazing -
I am not a movie enthusiast, but Joker was worth it and I'm excited for a possible sequel.

Any ways The movie was just ok. It was well Directed and the acting was good, Story was alright. My problems with it are going in I just thought Phoenix was Miscast as the Joker and after seeing it, well it just confirms I was right. I can admit when I'm wrong cause I thought the same thing with Downey as Ironman and Heath ledger as the Joker but completely changing my mind after I saw the movie. Phoenix is just to old to play the Joker, He looks 50 on top of that his voice just doesn't carry any weight of insanity nor do I buy him as the Joker. Now I do think Phoenix is a good actor and I think he was trying his best to do it but he just doesn't pull it off for me. I also hated the make up job for the Joker. It just didn't look right. He looked like a normal clown instead of a Insane one.

The Script is pretty good I like its Darker tone. I'm getting bored of these copy paste comic book movies. I want some thing Darker and edgier and this does deliver on that. It does take awhile for it to get going but we do get to see the Jokers slow decent into madness, which is done pretty good. If they could have just found the right actor for the Joker this could have been a 8 or maybe even a 9 from me. Who should have played the Joker? I dont know I really dont follow who the young actors are out there so I dont know who should have been cast for the part but he should have been younger like mid to late 20s considering Batman is only like 11 or 12 in this. I kept thinking when they meet for the first time the Joker is gonna be pushin 70.… Expand

The Joker feels like someone wanting to make a Taxi Driver style character drama(heck, they even have DeNiro in it and I can't think of any other reason than that) but somehow knew they can't sell it in the age of capecrap unless you slap the name of a comic book character on it. And that is where the movie shines; everything related to Arthur is pretty good but once he slowly starts turning into the Joker it starts falling apart.The attempt to ground this movie in the Gotham mythos is what keeps it from being anything else than an above average one as there are many inconsistencies with the source material, rangig from the superficial, like the age difference between Bruce and the Arthur(judging by the timeline of the movie, the Joker will walk with a cane by the time Bruce starts kicking ass), to more profound ones, like the fact that this Joker doesn't really resemble the Clown Prince of Crime. I know this is only his origin story, but even so he feels kind of dumb and at the end you are left feeling rather sorry for him than afraid.

Now, what most feel is the highlight of the film is Joaquin's performance, but I wasn't very impressed by it. It isn't bad, in fact it's quite good, but every time I look at him I can see it's an actor playing a role instead of an actual person. I think a more subtle approach would have been better since I haven't watched anyone be so desperate for an Oscar since that time DiCaprio crawled naked from an animal carcass. What really stands out in the movie however is its world. It's dark, it's gritty, and not in a Zack Snyder stlized way, rather here filth looks like filth, everything seems old and decayed and enhances the feeling of a world fallen to despair, where madness breeds more madness, so props to the director and cinematographer.

All in all, a pretty good movie. Not only in the Comic book genre, but in general. I would have given it a 6, but since it triggers snowflakes and Disney shills it deserves one extra point. And maybe an extra rewatch.… Expand

There’s something beautifully hypnotic about Joaquin Phoenix.

Everytime I try to figure out why, but nothing will come closer to the answer. How lucky are we to go to the cinema and watch one of the greatest livings actors of our generationThere’s something beautifully hypnotic about Joaquin Phoenix.

Everytime I try to figure out why, but nothing will come closer to the answer. How lucky are we to go to the cinema and watch one of the greatest livings actors of our generation in his prime giving us a performance that we will never forget. Joaquin Phoenix was absolutely phenomenal as Arthur Fleck, or his stage name ‘Joker’. Some of the best acting I’ve seen all year.

Phoenix lost a staggering 50 Pounds for the role and there’s plenty of scenes where we see his whole body in frame. You literally see every bone in this guys body, and at times it makes him look ghoulish. Oddly shaped and mangled. With his shoulder blades in clear sight, you could metaphorically say he’s an angel fallen to hell after losing his wings, or something like that. When he laughs I feel his pain, because the character has a mental condition where he has episodes of uncontrollable laughter that doesn’t reflect his actual mood. A real life condition that’s so awful to imagine. Phoenix can act with his eyes where you see the pain and anxiety from Arthur's mental state.

Whenever Arthur feels like he’s in control of something in his life, he dances. There’s a bathroom scene where we first see his dance, which looks a lot like Tai chi while displaying such power. Its also when darkness started to crawl into his soul. Something so simple can speak more than a million words. And what’s more impressive he completely improvised that scene. I like when directors let actors play around.

I felt sorry for Arthur, not because I related to him or I saw myself in him, but because Phoenix is that brilliant of an actor that you struggle to pick a side to root for or against. Despite the questionable and straight up horrific acts he commits, but you understand how he got to this point and it dawns on you how much of a tragedy it is.

‘Joker’ has already divided people like no movie ever. People say the movie is empty and has nothing to say. I don’t agree, because the message is loud and clear - don’t be a dick to your fellow neighbor. Todd Philips never intended to make a political statement, but to hold up a mirror to reflect the ugliness in people and the filth in our “improved” society.

When I heard that Todd Philips was going to be directing, I thought it made perfect sense. Just watch the ‘Hangover 2 & 3’, the two most uncomfortable comedies he’s ever directed that felt more crime drama than anything funny. There’s also some dark humor in ‘Joker’ that involves a door chain. It’s silly, yet absolutely terrifying with the given context. A complete departure from his other work and that’s why I think it’s one of his best. I honestly think he made something so unique and meaningful. Seriously, I do.

The score by Hildur Guðnadóttir helped set the tone tremendously. A melancholy tone with a chaotic twist. A representation of Arthur slowly drowning in his own misery and pain. A little fun fact: The score for the film were written based on the script even before the actual filming of the movie started, which I think is the best way to do it, if you ask me. Someone to imagine movie by songs and incorporate their interpretation through music.

The cinematography was gorgeous and there’s a handful of shots that has imprinted into my memory. Lawrence Sher does an excellent job off showing the decaying Gotham city and the sewer waste look of the city. Bright neon lights with striking colors that manage to make the most run down of places look pretty.

I like how they actually gave Thomas Wayne a character rather than “guy gets shot in alleyway”. He’s portrayed as a ruthless man with blunt ways of saving Gotham City. However he loves his wife and son, so his unforgiving attitude was all for the shake of keeping his loved ones safe. He’s also a massive movie buff where he often goes to watch the classics on the big screen. So it’s an interesting take on the character viewed in somebody’s else perspective.

Now lets talk about the controversy that's been surrounding this movie:

This is one of the most ludicrous controversy in recent memory. The movie will not cause or inspire violence, but shows why violence happens. Maybe this movie could inspire people to think twice about how they treat others. Why not think about the positives? If “Joker” is going to be responsible for violence and mass shootings, then so is every other movie with any form of violence ever. And sure, there’s some brutal and raw approach to violence in ‘Joker’, but we all have seen worst. ‘Deadpool’ is more graphic than this. It's not the directors duty to teach morals to the viewer. People will never learn to stop pointing fingers at things to blame and actually do something about it! People often understandment how much power their got.

Anywhere, sorry about that folks, just had to get that off my chest. Go and check it out.… Expand

Even prior articles of our own have covered the fact that ‘Joker’ received an eight minute standingBefore any of us see a single frame of Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’ we’re all well aware of the film’s many plaudits and longtime critical acclaim. Even prior articles of our own have covered the fact that ‘Joker’ received an eight minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, or that it also took home the Golden Lion, the festival’s award for best film.

Based on the competition, such illustrious awards may very well be warranted, but over time, reaction to ‘Joker’ seemed to falter, starting with the movie losing out to Taika Waititi’s 'Jojo Rabbit' at the Toronto International Film Festival. Even now, ‘Joker’ is only garnering a 69% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 58 on Metacritic. Frankly, we don’t disagree.

For as much as we appreciate the grittiness and stripped-down nature of the film, which represents a welcomed departure from the typical superhero/supervillain genre (or action genre in general), the film simply has too many flaws to earn our outright acclaim.

For example, a lot of the gratuitous violence just doesn’t feel organic. Instead, it feels like Phillips knew he needed to show some gruesomeness—or perhaps he just wanted to ramp up the shock factor—so he wedged a few bloody scenes into the script. Worse, a lot of the scenes were shot using a heavy filter, which to us made it feel like we we watching a movie-within-a-movie, which itself provided an emotional filter distancing us from the story unfolding on screen.

Lastly, leading up to this weekend, plenty of people have made comparisons between ‘Joker’ and Martin Scorsese’s ‘Taxi Driver.’ Sure, Todd Phillips borrows a lot of imagery from the classic, especially the handgun gesture Arthur Fleck uses all too often. But if the same people are comparing the two in terms of quality and merit, they are severely overselling ‘Joker,’ severely underselling ‘Taxi Driver,’ or both.… 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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a flawed, yet very, very good film. The main problem I had with it was the lack of realism pertaining to the descent to madness. Particularly, a talk show host making fun of you and flat out bullying you? Or a group of kids randomly jumping you? If you look at a superior film with this subject matter in Taxi Driver, you see a much more realistic and nuanced descent. Not to mention, while I like the homage to that film, at times it feels like a cheap knock off of it.

It has lovely shots. And, most importantly, Joaquin Phoenix delivered an absolutely all-time performance that was jaw-dropping from start to finish. In my personal opinion, he should win Best Actor. I just wish the movie around him was a bit more well rounded, even if it was engaging and entertaining.… Expand
