This was interesting: The professional critics are bad, but the user critics here are very good. I dont trust the imdb Score, but it has a high score there. So I was curious who will win.
The movie is great, has a lot of suspense, mostly because of the brilliant performance by Joaquin Phoenix. The development of Joker is very comprehensible and you suffer with him and with his situation from early on. Some scenes were very hard and hit severely and this movie still touches me even after seeing it. It is also interesting, that we have a similar political situation in the western countries like in this movie.

I only didnt like the ending, it was very sudden and I wanted to see more.

Come film a se potrebbe andare ma come joker e inesistente, ogni cosa che fa del personaggio il suo punto di forza e azzerato, il regista in maniera incompetente fa capire che nemmeno sa di chi sta parlando, un insulto

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie "Joker" presents the story of another side of the DCU's anti-hero character, named "The Joker". The movie has some similarities with the comics, but the idea of construction of a different and unique joker is amazing. During the show, it takes place the transformation and fall of Arthur Fleck, which is becoming later, the renowned character. The action takes place in the Gotham City, as dark as this one can be, and makes the people wondering what is real and what is not. This way, the mind of the protagonist can be more easily understood. The movie is original, dark, realistic and deserves a sequel for sure. Expand

I expected it to appeal to a certain demographic, and it absolutely does. Phoenix's performance is stellar, which I expected given past performances in The Master and You Were Never Really Here, but the plot was predictable. I get it, it's an origin story, but if you stack it up against Ledger's performance, I don't like this Joker at all. It's Taxi Driver if Travis Bickle were a victim of abuse and overt mental illness. It mirrors that movie in many ways, but one thing I'll say for Travis, we didn't have to set him up as this ultimate victim. Unlike Ledger's Joker, a sociopath who would have made this Joker's past a lie to feign victimhood, throwing off his adversaries, Phoenix's Joker is a victim. He's a man with no agency who finds it in a gun. It's the dream of every incel and nutjob who's ever felt they were given a raw deal and finally snapped into a beautiful swan song of violence and retribution. What's truly terrifying about the joker is the mob. Much like Antifa or the alt-right today, the mob is looking for any excuse to be a mob, and they look to this broken man who's only claim to fame is shooting unarmed people (granted, the first time is in defense). It's as if the entire population of disaffected white 20-somethings rallied around Dylan Roof or the guy who shot up the theater in Colorado. Again, Phoenix's performance is legendary and he dives into this character. He is Arthur Fleck, who is a more interesting character to me than the Joker. I don't know if that was the intent of the film, but it kind of undercuts the agency of superheroes/villains. You don't walk away from Joker hating the bad guy. Many walk away on his side. On the side of the mob, where it's far easier to protest and react violently in the face of adversity than it is to actually do the hard work of fixing problems or people. It's the lazy internet route to social change that leaves the same problems covered in a layer of poopy pants that no one realizes how special someone is. In fact, you could rename this Travis Bickle's Afterbirth. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This film is a malignant tumor on the collective psyche of society. I left the film feeling violated and disgusted. The only message this film sends is that the world is cold, cruel and uncaring and everyone in it is TERRIBLE. The plot is poorly constructed, the characters (ALL without exception) are flat, two dimensional and amoral. The rich are all insensitive pigs, and the poor are filthy, violent anarchists. No one has to take responsibility for their actions, because everyone else is to blame. The mental illness is poorly developed, he's supposed to be a vulnerable narcissist with some variation of tourette's, but instead he portrays as a schizophrenic with flat effect. Joaquin in this film has none of the Joker's infamous charisma or confidence. Instead he's portrayed as pathetic, grotesque and detestable. Furthermore, in this film the Joker is mentally, developmentally challenged, none of the Joker's ingenuity or wit. The whole film translates as a sob story told by a creatively challenged man. Maybe this whole film was supposed to be a sob story told to the psychiatrist, that would make it slightly less awful than it is. But not by a lot. This film is emotionally, narratively and cinematically flat. Expand

It was a story about a villain who excelled at one thing and that was to COMPLAIN. The character was absent of the ingenuity and dark cunning that are the fundamental characteristics that make its famous anti-hero the Joker. The characters story is all nearly encased in the typical socialist narrative to appeal to modern popular ideology. I don’t know what this movie was but if you are looking to enjoy the cunning genius shared by the greats like Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill you won’t find it in this movie. Just an empty prettied up nobody with flashy dance moves and a running mouth. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Cinematography, Shady Dark Ugly Retro settings, and music was good for normal person. I didn’t think to get such a Violent Deep scary movie from a director who directed all funny movies like The Hangover series..!! Secondly the name of Movie was quite oppotise to story. No doubt, ground breaking performance by Jaoquin. The person who lost his 20kg wight for pscyhc role. Story of Arthur Fleck ( Joker) A person who has history of multiple psychic disorders because of his horrible childhood, his mother also faced some mental issues. Arthur chooses to express his anger by killing the bad people, who didn't understood his mental condition, disporportional laugh according to situations.

His expression of intolerance starts with killings of 3 men in a subway teasing a girl in a metro then his collegue who guides him in wrong way to take away his job, then his colleague, his mom, then kills his favourite host of a famous reality show who uses people like him and mean while his expression of suppression gives him craze in old suppressed society which makes Joker feels Proud about him and ends up killing Thomas Wayne, the mayor of Gotham and finally lands him in a Psychiatric ward. #PersonalOpinion: I think, there are two ways to express extreme level of depression, one is by killing yourself ( Sucide), other is by killing those, who are reason of your depression. People reach at this Extreme level, when we ignore them, we don't listen what they exactly want to say, what they want us to understand, we simply assume more, reach at conculsions. If our so called civilized society will continue, this behaviour with one another, it will lead to a dark, disorganized and full of people with paradoxical laughter only.

Interesting, irreverent but still falls into the well know good vs. evil war, where things are never really full represented, but one way viewed. Essentially, joker is a film that emerged for the audience due an enormous identification with a character's resentment over others, society and the self failure he blaimes the world for. Still, can't find the subtlety the theme needs to find truth and dimension on the character construction. Again, Joker (2019) is a beautiful film that needs to understand it's nature and stop pretending to be a life changing story telling, accepting it's faults and growing on them. 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.

Masterpiece movie of the decade to influence generations.
Joker is a Traumatizing psychological drama/thriller that puts the spotlight on a comic book villian called joker.
Though the movie is inspired by the comic world which is imaginary, the movie feels real and authentic. Unlike other comic book movies which are filled with CGI and animation, joker uses story over action.
The movie is about arthur fleck (joaquin phoenix), a middle aged, miserable, poor standup comedian who suffers from mental problems and lives with his old mother.
He lives in gotham city where the people are cruel, emotionless and awful. Arthur is lonely and helpless yet he tries to be a good human being by sending positive energy and trying to make the people laugh and smile but the others are so wicked, merciless, enraged and furious they don't even accept him and make him feel worse by bullying, beating and abandoning him. Imagine what happens when a victim of society runs out of patience and turns extremely evil. The atposphere of the film is quite dark and the pace of the movie is a little slow in the beginning but as we go forward in the story it goes faster and faster just like a roller coaster.
The music and soundtracks used in the movie are perfectly in place and completely related to the theme of movie.
The climacteric of the movie is joaquin phoenix's fabulous and oscar worthy acting , where he delivers the sense of the film in the best way possible.
Joker might be one of the darkest movies made in decades but definitely deserves to be watched with patience and attention because it's one of the few movies that besides giving audience entertainment it tries to make people think.

The Joker makes its move on the brokenness of capitalism at a crucial moment. Gritty period uptown scenes, turbulent low strings, powerful method acting. Believable.

This film scares people, it shakes the establishment to its very core and it has politically biased journalists and news media quaking in their boots over the strong and thought-provoking message this film masterfully delivers.

Look at the critic reviews compared to the user reviews. Judge for yourself.

Looking for depth of a character with a ridiculous laugh..... and attempting to call iself "deep".
This is definately a movie for 2019......where so many sheep exist.... but for some reason, see themselves as "individual thinkers"... This is absolutely a terrible film..... Its a shame so many people fell for its indoctrination

La belleza de Joker está envuelta por una ambientación tétrica, depresiva, caótica, en una ciudad sucia,Joker es la película basada de un cómic más poderosa, bella y trascendental desde El Caballero de la Noche de Christopher Nolan. La belleza de Joker está envuelta por una ambientación tétrica, depresiva, caótica, en una ciudad sucia, corrompida política y socialmente. Todo esto converge con un sentimiento poderoso de humanidad a través de los ojos de un hombre solitario, dolido y quebrantado.

Hay dos puntos que me gustaría resaltar, primero, esta cinta puede parecer pretenciosa para algunas personas, hay mucho diálogo de exposición que resaltan lo obvio, empero, hay momentos sin diálogo que, a través de la música, de la fantástica fotografía y de la magistral interpretación de Joaquin Phoenix, la audiencia puede apreciar la caída de Arthur y el nacimiento de su alter ego, el Joker. -la escena del baile en el baño es un claro ejemplo de lo anterior-. La crudeza de las imágenes, la violencia, y una clara crítica al sistema capitalista hacen de Joker una cinta compleja y para nada olvidable. Es bastante obvia la inspiración sacada del maestro Scorsese en sus cintas “Taxi Driver” y “El Rey de la Comedia” -ambas interpretadas por Robert De Niro que también aparece en esta cinta-. Segundo, ignoren la controversia sobre la tonta idea de que esta cinta incita a la sociedad a cometer actos ilícitos, los críticos solo analizan la forma pero ignoran el fondo, lo cual es triste pues esta película transmite valiosos, bestiales y poderosos mensajes que son de gran relevancia en la actualidad.

A masterpiece, but let me explain my vote of 6.

This is an art-film, it has absolutely nothing to do with Batman or Joker. It's crystal clear that they had a script that was ready, but no one was willing to produce it because it's not "superhero movies", so they put the title "Joker" on it and added some Batman backstory.

Joaquin Phoenix is absolutely phenomenal, it's a masterclass in theatre-acting, obviously it's not cinema acting, but who cares.

Photography is insanely good, each scene is perfectly framed to the point of perfection.

I'm giving 6 because it's a shame that such a great movie had to put "Joker" in the title just to pitch the movie to some movie studio manager. It's a real shame and people should not accept it.

Masterpiece and oscar winning performance, shameful actions by production companies, it's unexcusable.

Holy, f’n, sh*t.

Those were the words that were running through my mind while watching Joker. I can’t believe this movie exists. That it somehow got greenlit by Warner Bros, in a time where Disney/Marvel reign supreme with their theme-park formula. It wasn’t that long ago that Warner’s meddled with Zack Snyder’s Justice League because it was too dark. What Todd Phillips does with Joker is infinitely darker than anything Zack Snyder did with DC. That alone is a minor miracle. Add to that fact that Joaquin Phoenix, a true A-grader in the world of acting, was convinced to take on the role, in a property that he does not find traditionally attractive, and we have a movie that shouldn’t exist.

But we do, and thank the film gods for that!

Joaquin Phoenix owns the part, chews up every scene, and brings his A-game to the movie. He is magnetic in the role; you can’t take your eyes off him. Watching him transform from Arthur Fleck into The Joker is a thing of dark, somber beauty. There is a line in the movie that says “I use to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it’s a comedy.” make no mistake, watching a mentally ill person that is shunned by a society which lacks empathy, slowly deteriorate into a homicidal maniac, is a tragedy. This movie hits hard and doesn’t hold back with its message.

The score by Hildur Guðnadóttir is brilliant. She manages to capture the mood of the setting and Arthur’s mindset so well. I can’t imagine the movie without this score. The cinematography is great. The colours, the lighting, the close-ups of Joaquin, and in particular, a shot of Joker standing on top of a cop car embracing the chaos he inspired, it’s a thing of beauty. I also liked the addition of a couple of songs from the era it’s set in. Props must be given to the supporting cast, even though they didn’t have too much to do because of the movie’s strong focus on Arthur, but did great with what they had, in particular, Robert Deniro.

And lastly, the biggest surprise from this movie, is the director, Todd Phillips. When I first heard the news of a Martin Scorsese produced Joker origin movie, the hype within started. Then Joaquin Phoenix got attached to the leading role; the hype picked up the pace. And then Todd Phillips, the director of The Hangover Trilogy attached to direct, the breaks on the hype train were pulled or at least slowed down. I kept the faith that’d be good because if the project had Scorsese and Phoenix interested in it, then it had to be good, so I backed their judgment and subsequently backed Phillips, and I must say, they got it right. I hope to see more serious movies from Todd Phillips; the guy can pull them off.

If you want to see a tour-de-force performance from one of the world’s best actors and a hard-hitting movie that doesn’t hold back its punches and doesn’t apologize for them, if you want to be left speechless by the end, then you have to see this movie. It is one of the best films of 2019, and the hype of its brilliance couldn’t be any more correct. The movie is not about an incel who couldn’t get laid, so he goes loco, like some of the media are portraying it to be. This movie is a warning about society’s inability to deal with its unfortunate inhabitants in an empathic way. It’s funny how the media lays into these “incels” as some of the characters lay into Arthur in the movie. Life imitating art, I guess.
