Honestly, I cannot understand the current 56 score on Critics reviews. Even with quite some licenses which divert from the comic material, the writers kept the soul essence of the comic Joker intact. Probably the most accurate depiction of the “Classic” DC Joker, ironically from the movie which more deviates from the source material. Expand

Problems with unevenDespite a mostly solid (though occasionally hammy) performance by Joaquin Phoenix and an excellent production design, this much-awaited origin story about Batman's vile nemesis falls short on a number of other levels. Problems with uneven pacing, mishandled back story revelations, heavy-handed sociopolitical allegories, excessive narrative elements, violence bordering on gratuitous and plot holes aplenty all conspire to weaken an otherwise-ambitious story aimed at taking the comic book genre in a new direction. What's more, the film features an ending that's out of place compared to the apparent climax that preceded it. And then there are derivative elements taken almost verbatim from a variety of other pictures, including "Falling Down," "Network" and "The King of Comedy," among others. But what's perhaps most distressing is the message the film sends, one that's dangerous, even if accurate in its depiction of the state of affairs in the US today. What this film gets right is impressive, but, unfortunately, there's not enough of that compared the package overall. Expand

I wouldHonestly, I wasn’t expecting much from the trailers and director’s track record. I was only interested in seeing how Phoenix does as Joker but I expected the film to be run of the mill and lack substance. Well, it was a masterpiece. I would just say to anyone judging without actually watching, give it a try. If only to see Joaquin Phoenix top Heath Ledger as Joker, which I didn’t think would ever happen after Dark Knight. There was a hell of a lot more substance to this than I expected. This was a masterful slow burning character study, showing the transformation of a downtrodden, mentally ill sociopath, into The Joker. And yeah, it’s one of the darkest and most uncomfortable comedies you will ever see but it’s set up and done very well. Visually great, soundtrack great and Phoenix was unbelievable. This is getting a lot of bad reviews from critics who I guess were made uncomfortable but there are thousands of senselessly violent movies and this was dark as you get, but not senseless. Metacritic currently has an average rating from critics of 57/100, with both the metacritic and imdb users rating it 9.2/10. It used to be that I’d put more stock in the critics than average viewer ratings but it’s getting really hard to take modern reviewers seriously when you see the countless generic and badly constructed comic book adaptations and new Star Wars films get a better critical response than an actual piece of art like Joker.

It’s everything you’ve heard it would be and more. DC descended into a pit of bad movies in recent years, frantically searching for a balance between dark and gritty or laugh out loud comedies. So not only is it refreshing to see a successful, well-written, stripped back comic book movie but it’s also one of the darkest films I’ve seen in years and definitely pushes the comic book genre into new territory.

Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is a man who has been forgotten by society, neglected and living in poverty with his mother in Gotham. Working as a clown for hire and desperately trying to make it as a stand-up comedian. A character study very much grounded in reality. It may be too real or too dark for some viewers, watch the trailer if you’re in any doubt, it will give you just a taste of what’s in store if you decide to see Joker.

There was always going to be the problem of taking on an iconic character like the Joker on the big screen again. Anyone portraying that role can’t help but be stuck in the shadow of Heath Ledger’s performance. A performance so brilliant the Oscars decided it was deserving of a win. The abysmal Suicide Squad gave us a very different take on the Joker with Jared Leto. Hardly a memorable performance though in his defence he didn’t exactly get a fair shot as Suicide Squad appeared to be hacked to pieces in the editing room and stitched back together at random. That is the only logical conclusion I can draw from one of the worst comic book films I’ve ever seen. Joaquin Phoenix was an ideal casting choice for a Joker origin movie, it’s not an over the top CGI flashy film by any means. Phoenix is one of those few actors that puts everything into a role, you can see him disappear and transform into the Joker. It’s terrifyingly brilliant and I’ll be shocked if he doesn’t walk away with an Oscar for his portrayal as the Joker. He’s one of the only actors who could possibly match Heath Ledger’s standard. Just don’t ask me to choose a favourite because there’s no way I could do that.

Everything from Joaquin Phoenix’s onscreen presence to the chilling soundtrack sets out to unsettle you constantly. I was incredibly tense for this whole film and I know I’ll still be thinking about Joker for a long time afterwards. A deep look into the mind of a man pushed beyond his limits. Phoenix’s manic laugh alone is enough to send chills down your spine. Frightening, disturbing and at times it’s almost like a horror movie. It doesn’t matter what kind of comic book movie you prefer Joker is recommended for all you film fans.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I wasn’t sure what to expect and the beginning has filled me with doubts - to the extend I wasn’t sure I would stay to the end. I’m glad I did, as very soon everything starts to fit just right and despite it is definitely is not a “fast action movie”, the 140 minutes of it didn’t feel too long at all. The only ”downside” - I will never look at the Joker and the Wayne family the same - nothing is black and white anymore. But I think that this was the idea in the first place... Expand

This movie is an absolutely fantastic character study, and anybody who thinks it's confused about the plot is trying to watch a different movie altogether. Joaquin Phoenix pulls off an incredible portrayal of the Joker, one that is at once faithful to the character and yet as unique in its way as Ledger's was. If I'm being nit-picky, I have issues with the one scene where Joker pontificates towards the end, it seemed superfluous and slightly discordant, but takes away nothing from the massive accomplishment that this movie represents. It's deeply indebted to Alan Moore for this versio of the Joker's origin, and viewers should always remember that there is no 'definitive' Joker, or at least that question won't be settled until DC releases The Three Jokers! In straying away from the DCU, both in style and in substance, this movie is easily one of the best DC-based movies you'll watch this decade. Expand

The moments that gave me chills were the scene when Arthur is holding little Bruce's face and then when he is in the stairwell with his mother's medical chart and verifies everything Tom Wayne told me was true about his mother. Learning everything he thought he knew was a lie and the anger that grew within him that bought him to such disillusionment with his world it made him kill the one person he most loved in his world and turn him into the psychopathic killer. Her death killed Arthur Fleck and reincarnated him into the Joker. The twist with Sophie Dumond (Zazie Beetz ) was brilliant and totally unexpected.

Wow. This film was like a Greek Tragedy play. This is the film I wish all other comic book movies were modeled after. Nothing is over the top, everything is plausible in this realistic world. No super powers or grandiose schemes. Arthur Fleck is just a regular man like the Waynes, but without the fortunes of the Waynes. Just a man who beleaguered with abuse, lies, manipulation and misfortune that snaps into the killer he becomes.

I did not want the movie to end because I loved it so much. My bladder was at the point of bursting but I did not want to leave my seat and miss a thing. This is a titanium scribed A++. It is rare I think of any movie as a perfect 10 out of 10, but this movie hit that score. I was left thinking about this film hours after I left the theater. DC Black finally blew away everything Marvel had out of the water with this film. All thanks to a super talented film director and one of the best actors of our era Joaquin Phoenix. If the Oscars don't see it fit to grant him an award, then the Oscars have no redeeming value.

"Joker" is a film that is wonderful in everything. A wonderful camera work, a great soundtrack, a beautiful and well-coordinated plot and, of course, an acting game, God bless Joaquin Phoenix, how he played ... We always saw that the Joker appeared from falling into a vat with chemicals or was some unattainable evil, but now... now we see just a person in a terrible society of vices. Many unfairly criticize this picture for the fact that it can push someone to violence or justify it. But if you have a desire to commit violence, then the problem is only in you. This film does not justify violence, it shows how we create it ourselves. What do we get if we put a mentally unhealthy person in a society that will persecute and mock him? We will get what we deserve ...

I understood what it wanted to portray. Unfortunately all the numerous great things about this movie didn't helped. The movie didn't need more action, it could have been even more chaotic and confusing, but even as it is, it needed something "violent" or something special at the beginning that would have kept me invested.The IP has so much potential, the movie could have been going in so many directions...
Arthur is not or it is a tragic and very unLUCKY man and that's ok but not very interesting... One important note here is my problem with the conclusion of this story: how is this weak and sick man supposed to be the antagonist of batman or even of a policeman. Such a disappointment.

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.

Critics call it cynical. I say, wake up, take a look outside. Sure its not all awful, but this is a dramatisation of a very real phenomenon. It begs us all to be a little nicer to each other and acts as a stark warning of what can happen when people aren't heard or seen. A powerful film. I just hope we don't see any copycat crimes.

Wow. Heavily inspired by Taxi Driver, but that's not a bad thing; this movie is executed very well.

I went to see joker expecting fun family fun.

Was there fun?

Was there family?

I'll just say this:

For a family fun movie... this movie had minimal families, and un-fun. "Joker" is anything but. Most of his jokes involve mean bad things that I personally. don't. want. my kids. to know. about.

Example of how a scene COULD have gone

Joker: "Knock knock, it's me, the joking joker"
Man: "Who?? Get away, I don't know any joker"

This scene would have illustrated the nature of jokes.

The movie completely falls apart in the 78th act. "Joker" begins as a mild mannered man, but he ends as a medium tangy spicy mannered man. This was my favorite part of the movie -- the spice is just what I needed to spice up my life. That's when I made a realization -- am *I* the jokers? Let me explain...

On the surface, "Joker" seems like it's just a movie about the difficulties of clown. However, when you delve a little deeper, you'll realize that the movie theater seats are not comfortable and the arm rests do not raise. Most of the seats cannot even hold a large drink, so why even sell them in that theater?

Okay so now lets get to the negative part of the review. At exactly 1 hour and 38 minutes into the film, you can clearly see a baby smoking in the bottom right part of the screen. That's when I draw the line. A baby smoking? I then look over at my 38 year old baby and I see he picked up this trait from the movie. I don't want to spoil anything but I don't like the fact that he died at the end. Not even in a cool way. Dude just trips. Now if he tripped on a banana, then I would understand the joke. But now I sit here in my **** dimmly lit 400 sq ft apartment with my two kids and I am still trying to figure out what the joke was of this movie. Overall I think this movie is 10/10. I guess you could say that "joker" was a movie that really CLOWNED me?

It's captivating and raw. It lived to the hype and any previous joke would be proud. This movie captivates the comic book Joker and I love it.

It was unreal... Joaquin Phoenix's performance was top notch. The scariest part of the movie was how much his actions made sense, and how you can't really fault the logic of the people who would consider the dude someone to follow.

The score is haunting and beautiful, acting is wonderful, themes are sad and dark but real, camera work is beautiful and there were many scenes that made me want to but them on my walls as a poster. Thank you WB and DC, right now this is my top 2019 movie. Expand

The portrayal of the city of Gotham and the darkness of its streets is showns in the personality of the joker and the people of the city. His role in making ravolution in the city is chilling. Director of the movie managed to combine humor with extremely dark scenes filled with violence and aggression but it a way that it doesn't effect the seriousness of the situation at hand. Amazing. Joaquin's performance is the best acting I ever witnessed. It takes the 1st place, in front of DiCaprio's - The Revenant and Legder's - Joker. t. Oscar winning acting wihout a doubt, I have never experiences such mindblowing acting. Ledgers's Joker is a different type and thus I wouldn't dare to compare the status of each Joker, but this is another level of acting in my opinion. Overall a phenomenal movie with Oscar-winning acting without a doubt. Expand

Every scene is excellent thanks to Joaquin Phoenix's incredible performance. He really sells the role, at points, I was even convinced he was not acting, that he really was like this in real life. That's how incredible he is in this film. Throughout the film, inescapable anxiety surrounds every scene. It feels as if Joker will crack at any moment, like a pipe with too much pressure. That constant feeling of unease was what sold the movie for me. In the end, I feel empathy for the Joker, and I think that's what the audience is meant to feel, the movie has been written like that. It makes me have an internal conflict, he did all this bad stuff, why do I sympathize with him? And that might just be the magic of this film. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joker is a cinematic masterpiece, while the first 20 minutes may feel like they drag on a bit, the film more than makes up for it in the third act. Joaquin Phoenix plays the joker perfectly making it so that no one to relate to him, but in the same way having everyone be able to relate to him. The end of the film is brutal with joker killing the television host live on air in a way only the joker can, as a joke. Furthermore while everyone saw it coming, including Thomas and Martha Wayne's now infamous death outside the theatre now inexplicably links the joker to Bruce Wayne throughout his ride as the bat, now becoming part of his origin as well. This movie is easily a 10/10 with no joker apart from ledger's being able to beat it. Joaquin does Heath Ledger proud. Expand

This is not an action packed comic film or follow a typical "comic-movie" formula (which is something I loved about it). It's character driven and artistic.
