Easily Oscar material. Joaquin takes us on a tour de force into the insanity of a psychotic derange criminal from a beginning of a begnin man who struggles with mental illness and poor social circumstances. I absolutely loved the movie and IEasily Oscar material. Joaquin takes us on a tour de force into the insanity of a psychotic derange criminal from a beginning of a begnin man who struggles with mental illness and poor social circumstances. I absolutely loved the movie and I WILL watch it a second time in a Cinema, which is something I do not do ever.

The storytelling, the in setting logic, the lore of the Joker, all was respected and all fitted. Well worth your money.

Joker (2019) is awesome, yes, It is, don't get me wrong this time. :) Joker is set in 1981, it follows Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian whose descent into insanity and nihilism inspires a violent counter-cultural revolution againstJoker (2019) is awesome, yes, It is, don't get me wrong this time. :) Joker is set in 1981, it follows Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian whose descent into insanity and nihilism inspires a violent counter-cultural revolution against the wealthy in a decaying Gotham City. It's a great take on mental illness and bullying and how it affects the victim in a suspenseful way fitting for a psychological thriller. The movie draws inspiration from classic films with similar themes like "The King of Comedy". Robert De Niro's casting in the movie is fitting given his role in "The King of Comedy".

Joaquin Phoenix does an amazing job playing The Joker. His performance is extremely flawless and beautiful. While Heath Ledger did a great job with Joker in The Dark Knight, Phoenix's performance is as great as the former, if not even better. Arthur Fleck's a very compelling character, as he goes through a ton of difficult stuff in his life, like bullying and such. He also has a ton of character development as he transforms into The Joker. His struggles also make the viewer want to be thrown into his world so that they can experience how he was treated. The film also works with Arthur's mental illness as it sometimes makes it harder for the viewer to know whether the events he's experiencing are real or not. The narrative also accurately portrays how Arthur's mental health progressively worsens through the film as he begins the movie as a sympathetic tragic person who continuously becomes more violent until he becomes a truly terrible person and a killer. While Arthur's conditions make him a sympathetic victim, his actions are still criminal and the move does paint him as a villain appropriately.

The movie spreads a strong message on hatred, unfair class systems, the dangers of long-term suppression of emotions, abuse towards mental illness, among others with how Arthur is treated by society and his mental state. It also talks about how cruel people can be to others.

Here are a couple of bad things about Although the movie's tackling of mental illness is profound, there are some inaccuracies. Some examples including The pseudobulbar affect, a medical condition that causes people to laugh uncontrollably is a physical disorder rather than a mental disorder. Given his severe declining mental condition towards the end of the movie, Arthur shouldn't have been able to outsmart the detectives. He shouldn't be able to interact with the interviewers after donning the full Joker outfit.

What is the greatest two parts? The famous scene where Joker dances down the step street before he gets chased by the cops is amazing, in addition, the film takes place in at West 167th Street in Highbridge, and another scene where Joker is in a talk show with Franklin, and goes on a joke that society that abandons him and treats him like trash, and threatens him that he deserves him and he instantly kills Franklin is absolutely disturbing to watch.

While the violent moments are infrequent when they do happen, they're intense enough to make the viewer feel uncomfortable with the psychological implications behind the violence.

At the end of the film, we can see Bruce Wayne's family getting shoot by a protester, which it was nice to see Bruce Wayne before he becomes Batman.

It's a very different take on a superhero movie, and it's refreshing to see.

It uses the old Warner Bros. "Big W" logo at the beginning, fitting with the time period this movie is set in.

Unlike other recent DC films that tried too hard to be dark and edgy, Joker manages to be dark and serious by doing it correctly and the dark tone of the film enhances the narrative.

Joker is awesome, and I recommend you to see Joker! :) Hope you like my review! :)

And truly the Best film to bring a comic book so chillingly and realistically to real ife. Remarkable Direction, Cinematography, Music and the Acting. Some people are surprised to find it DISTURBING and VIOLENT, but it's a necessity and message. It's about society and reflects those underappreciated/unrecognized/bullied people, proving they can do something too. The way it shows class difference, corruption and how rich and talented rule others around them is not exaggerated and that's what makes it different. It's BELIEVABLE. There could be multiple JOKERs living in our society that could shake those around them in much bitter way than the film shows making people uncomforting people. Consider this a wake up call, a message, but first a film. A PERFECT film.. Expand

Ignore the negative reviews.

'Joker' predictably alienates soft, cowardly critics and viewers who are too politically-obtuse and morally irresponsible to acknowledge the atomic force and brutal truth of the ugly, devastating dilemma that is wrought out to perfection by Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips. Of the two I've spoken to that walked out halfway through the film, both are delusionally cynical, falsely optimistic people who are excruciating to deal with, so devoid of genuine humanism they are.

And that's the point. The critics who insult this film with their offensively ignorant and dismissive reviews are the morally aloof, narcissistic tunnel-visionists who refuse to accept that their failure to acknowledge and grasp the pain and suffering of the most unfortunate and abused members of society is precisely what turns the Arthur Flecks of this world into Jokers. This film puts them on trial, and the verdict is guilty.

Beautiful, haunting, and unforgettable, Joker offers a rare glimpse into how and why a heart can sink into darkness. Phoenix's brilliant, selfless performance fills that space in the shadow cast by the nearsighted, villainous Ayn Rands of this world, the ones who fail to offer compassion and understanding to those who need it most.

This is the desperately necessary, bloody-brush-stroked 'One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' that sensitive, disgusted millennials have been waiting for. It's a hymn of outrage in a time of political despair and tyranny of truth, and it's the best picture of 2019.

This being an original Joker take, allows the creator the freedom that he has and he uses it perfectly.

When I saw the trailer at first, I wrote it off as another boring movie, but I have never been so wrong in my life. This is the first time I have watched a movie twice in one day. Absolutely my hats off to the cast and creator! This is an absolute masterpiece, a MUST WATCH!

Плюс фильм не о клоунах в цветных трусах и колготках, как делает Марвел, а о нашей жизни - замените Джокера на обычного человека и не поменяется ничего. Отличный фильм. И можете посмотреть оценку критиков, а так же кто именно эти критики - мнение этих людей не стоит ничего. Expand

Critics are panning this movie unfairly. I actually really enjoyed this movie despite the darkness and realism. Don't listen to the critics, go see it (and judge it) for yourself.

Holly molly! This movie is truly a masterpiece, a version of Joker which didn't exist before. I can't wait for the sequel. If you haven't seen this movie. Go watch it it's worth every cent!

Metacritic is a joke, and this review page shows exactly why it is so. Critics are out of touch and overwhelmingly biased, and are thus quickly losing any credibility they might have had left. Their days are surely numbered.

That said, 'Joker' is a masterpiece and should surely be commended - although I am no fan of the man, it is irrefutable that Phoenix did a fantastic job and portrayed the Joker phenomenally. Definitely in my top 3 films of the 2010's.

First off, Joaquin Phoenix murders his Joker role.Joker is an uncomfortable watch, but fascinating too. Bleak, vicious and bruising, it might be a slow-burner, but the punchline is well worth waiting for.

All the woke journalists giving it a 0~4 are too high on themselves, just on the acting alone (everything else being c**p) the minimum it deserves is a 5, and that's low-balling it

Don't listen to trolls reviewing this movie. It's a masterpiece.
Needless to say, Joaquin Phoenix's acting is beyond perfection on this movie.
The plot is very intriguing and makes the viewer question oneself about the protagonist behaviour and reality.
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.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Featuring a riveting, fully realized, and Oscar-worthy performance by Joaquin Phoenix, Joker would work just as well as an engrossing character study without any of its DC Comics trappings; that it just so happens to be a brilliant Batman-universe movie is icing on the Batfan cake. You will likely leave Joker feeling like I did: unsettled and ready to debate the film for years to come. Expand
