This movie majestically portrays how madness can eat up one's head. Joaquin Phoenix has truly mesmerised the audiences with his performance in depicting the protoganist of this dark slow burn. One of the best movies of 2019....

I thought this looked solid at best and even a bit too pretentious in the trailer, but in here to say I was incredibly wrong. This is a massive achievement of cinema that's extremely rare in a day and age of cgi nonsense and reboots. While this is somewhat of a reboot of sorts, the standalone origin tale is impeccable from start to finish and echoes resemblance to the best joker origin comics from the past. Joaquin bleeds, sweats, and cries his every drop into this magnificently dedicated performance. Heath Ledger would be proud. This is undoubtedly the greatest acting performance since Heath's joker. The directing and writing is slickly brilliant and the bleak settings and tones are palpable throughout. When this film was over the place was blown away and every audience member was awestruck that they witnessed a film that could still transport them into a character's world and very existence. Believe the hype. This is going to be revered as a transcending masterpiece of cinema. Expand

Joker is deep, immaculate, powerful, and triumphant as you witness Joaquin Phoenix giving the Oscar winning performance of his entire career as the Clown Prince of Crime in 1970’s unforgiving Gotham City. All thanks to Todd Phillips’Joker is deep, immaculate, powerful, and triumphant as you witness Joaquin Phoenix giving the Oscar winning performance of his entire career as the Clown Prince of Crime in 1970’s unforgiving Gotham City. All thanks to Todd Phillips’ inspiration from Martin Scorsese’s Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, it is safe to say that this film is one of those films that will be talked about for a very long time. And there is no doubt that Joker can deliver a mature fish out of water story that is dark and psychologically brooding that every comic book fan needs to see. May the future of DC Black begin… Expand

It is an incredible piece of art that portrays how if society constantly neglects or beats someone down they can become a monster. The acting is incredible , it is shot fantastically and one thing I didn't hear many talk about but I personally thought was brilliant was the soundtrack. There is very few scenes of violence in this movie but when it happens it stings and makes you go ''jesus'' ....is does not romanticise violence or make it seem like an answer to a problem at all. To the contrary it makes you lose your sympathy for Arthur Fleck's struggle's in life, which to me, is the best possible way violence could be used in as realistic a movie as this. Ignore the critics, this film is incredible, comic book fan or not. Expand

There's little to comment negatively about this movie.
It's a well-made character study movie of someone suffering from mental issues caused by mental health and society alike. So don't expect an action-packed movie, but a slow "character growth" (more likely regress) movie, but one that is surprisingly well-paced most of the time to not get boring.

Joachim's performance is amazing, to a point in the movie where the character becomes more self-absorbed and confident and you can almost say it's a different actor playing the role. I've heard some calling his acting exaggerated, it's certally not, at least not in the majority of scenes. (the movie does a subtles, yet kinda smart trick where some scenes are from the main characters' POV and not the actual real POV of all the other characters; this is done with a subtle reveal near the climax of the movie)

It's a gritty depressing movie, but there are a lot darker, violent and depressing titles than this one, to a point I'm starting to believe American media has a serious problem by calling this movie controversial. There's nothing controversial about this one, the Joker is not glorified nor blamed, he is just shown as he is (as a good movie should do), the movie does not force a point of view letting the viewer draw a conclusion (as a good movie should do).

The directing and cinematography are very good. There are scenes that look so great visually and evoke a specific feeling very well. The soundtrack is spot on.

You definitely have to see this movie. But go in with patience, it's not a movie to digest when tired or bored.

I haven't seen a performace by a make actor that left me spellbound since the likes of De Niro in 'Raging Bull' or Jack Nicholson in 'One flew of the cuckoos nest'. When I saw the trailer last year I sensed it would be a turkey and fail to live up to Christopher Nolan trilogy. I am so happy to saw I was wrong. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An amazing adaptation of several Joker origin stories overlayed with other other works in film history. This doesn't make the move any less creative. Movies like avatar have had stories that are old and have been told numerous times, but it's how they present them that makes them stand out. Joker is no different. Filled with social undertones related to current times, Joker takes what was old and makes it new again in brilliant ways.

Some of "professional" reviews are missing the point and even outright lying about it. Saying it has no batman in it, is disingenuous at best. You could argue that this is a prequel to the Dark Knight series, with the same amounts of darkness and even more realism. On the surface, it is about anarchy. Did you expect something different? Do you know Joker? Below the surface are undertones about inequality, social duties, and freedoms that we're allowed and our inhumanity in daily life.

To all the people saying that Joker is glorified and the movie sets him up as hero, you're just wrong. No one sees him as a hero. Understanding why someone does something, doesn't mean you agree with it. Saying a kid has mental issues as a reason he shoots up a school, doesn't mean you agree with it. You just understand it. Joker here is no different. Overall a great movie and something I will watch several times, even before it hits other formats. Personally, I believe everyone needs to watch it, regardless of whether you agree with it or not. It contains messages that need to be said/heard.

I think until Bruce become a Batman the Joker will be died at this time.

The performance of Joaquin was amazing with no doubts, also the pictures was stunning and remind us of the masterpiece "The Dark Knight".

Finally, the movie is worth to watch, but If Christopher Nolan direct or write "Joker", I think we would watch a masterpiece.

Before 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 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.

It shows its boldness on the terrific atmosphere of an ill man on an ill world: violence, lack of compassion and education. This movie really surprised me - a lot - dealing with a deep and serious tone, and unpredictable plot twists.
Camera did an astonishing work to maintain the setting. Character builds properly with an ultimate crescendo pacing. Music is great.
I was not a huge fan of Joker or DC related characters, neither I know if it's true to its comics inception, but it's a hell of a movie.

Definitely one of the better films this year, but that doesn't speak much to this movie's credit as it does to almost everything else being trash.

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.

Joker in every essence is a masterpiece. Like every scene is a part of a jigsaw puzzle and all the pieces fall right into place, Todd has made sure you see it happening. To talk about Joaquin Phoenix as a comic book fan I think the biggest compliment I can give him is that he's finally a joker worthy enough to be compared to the great Mark Hamill, his laugh Haunts you, he manages to express his laughs in all situations and you feel it. I'd be lying if I said it didn't give me chills. The last time something like this happened was when I saw Batman, Mask of Phantasm. Joaquin's acting is top notch and this is the first movie I've seen of his, and I'm gonna zip through his other movies soon. The point of this movie is that it is gripping and it manages to hold its viewers, let it be through Todd's vision, Joaquin's acting or the music. It has all the right elements mixed precisely, and it makes you one with the character, I for once couldn't stop myself from dancing in my seat because the music is great and Joaquin is magnetic. If you love dark humour you will love this movie, if you don't like Joker states "you wouldn't get it". Comic book fans would know Joker does not have an origin story and they could have done anything with the storyline. They could have picked anything as a story, but they picked magnificence. As a comic book fan I had huge expectations and Honestly it has exceeded my expectations. My rant won't make any sense because this work of art cannot be described in words. You will have to go experience it, live it, feel the emotions and for once just once become one with a character. I've seen it twice already, but the experience is so good, I am gonna feed on it some more. Expand

Hands down the greatest acting performance and perhaps movie I’ve ever seen. Do not listen to the “safe space” critics that think this movie is a giant dog whistle for Donald Trump. This movie is a masterpiece in the same league as Taxi Driver. The movie received a standing ovation here in Thailand. Considering that most of the audience was reading subtitles, that’s pretty amazing.

This Joker movie embodies the ethos of "cheerful nihilism" / “Clown World”. Clown World is the idea that the world is becoming more and more like a grotesque freakshow, with degeneration on various fronts becoming worse (social, political, racial, etc.). Instead of bearing the emotional burden of what some believe is the multi-faceted downturn of society, "honk honk" "Put on your smiley face" "Why so serious?" represents the option of cheerful nihilism, where one acknowledges the world's absurdity but decides to laugh and make fun of it. "Why get riled up when none of it matters anyways?" “I thought my life was a tragedy, then I realized it was a comedy” says the Joker.

Esse filme é tranquilo um dos melhores filmes já produzidos nessa década. Com um enredo que te prende a tela de cinema do começo ao fim, Coringa é um retrato cruel e honesto de uma sociedade adoecida. 10/10

Phoenix delivers stunning performance and could well be in run for an Oscar next year.

If you can do that, then perhaps you'll love it. Expand

Criminally False Critic score. Mr Phoenix deserves something better than an oscar for his performance. The direction taken with this movie is realistic, and it's scary. This is a movie you should watch, even if you dislike the outcome.

Very few parts felt like he was the Joker. The build up is slow and drawn out. Easily could have been thirty minutes shorter. The acting is great but the character is poorly written.

Don't let the critics scores influence you, the media wants this movie grounded, they're trying to kill its reputation.

But in reality, Joker is a masterpiece, an acting masterclass, beautifully written and directed drama.

And about the score of the movie, for a long time i've not heard this much emotional sound and perfectly fitting one for a character like Arthur Fleck.

One of the best DC movies ever. That's all. Watch it!

There is a pity for hateful people. I cried five minutes before the movie started, although it may be that my own lacrimal gland is too developed. But as a person, when I see this society in the picture, this may be a society in the movie orThere is a pity for hateful people. I cried five minutes before the movie started, although it may be that my own lacrimal gland is too developed. But as a person, when I see this society in the picture, this may be a society in the movie or a real life, and start to feel sad for those who need help.

What are the conditions that make you think you can bully people?
Who is deciding who's death is more worthy of being pity.
The scene at Talkshow can be said to be the core concept of the film, completely bringing the existence of Joker and the morbidity of society to the table.
What everyone is not willing to face is the person who called the indifference, so he chose to blame the murder, but he did not think that he was one of the murderers who led to the birth of the murderer.
When he becomes Joker, you and I , The Society gives him a hand.

Today, through the story, we watched the birth of a person who needed warmth and was cast aside by society, a person who was originally kind but was fooled and collapsed.
It is not Arthur that is wrong, but the indifferent people of this society and those who think they are clever and bully.
In contrast to Batman, I feel that Arthur is a flesh and blood. It’s not spoiled here.

At the end of the movie, I still vaguely remember what Arthur said. "Please...don’t...i really love my job..." Writing this eyelids began to turn red again. It is not difficult to imagine how much a person will be disappointed when he simply wants to bring laughter to the world, but is ridiculed and used by the world. You really can go see "Joker" After reading it, I just want to talk to everyone around me. Don't be indifferent to the people around you. Even if he is sick, he is very strange, and don't abandon him. Because you may be able to save it before the world changes. I don't want to talk too much here, because I know that film reviews or experiences will affect the shock and the point of entry for a person. If you see something else or have any feelings, go to the movies and taste! I just want to say after reading it. If I were Harleen Quinzel, I would probably also become Harley Quinn by listening to Joker's story. I am so distressed by Arthur and I feel bad for Arthur's kindness.

An incredible piece of art about our lack of empathy and its consequences. Explaining where violence may come from doesn't equate to justifying it. If the movie parallel's real life so much, it's not the movie we should be criticizing.
