Would you like to see something really funny? Go to the critic reviews and sort by rating. If this is exactly how would you rate them from best to completely out of touch, go see the movie.

I felt sorry for Arthur FleckI am not a professional film critic, but this movie is a complete work of art. The soundtrack really adds tension to the scenes, and Phoenix's laugh is torturous (he deserves an oscar, and I'm not exaggerating). I felt sorry for Arthur Fleck for most of the movie, but in the end he became the scary and inhuman Joker. I didn't find this movie violent, in fact the violent scenes are raw and well filmed. I feel sick for ideological critics who see politics in everything and think this movie can have a bad influence. **** Art is not intended to moralize anyone.
Although I don't like comic books, it's a realistic movie and I liked this style! I hope to watch again to capture all the details.… Expand

Wonderful acting by Joaquim Phoenix. This movie dives into the madness of a society that ignores and humiliates its poorest citizens, with some touches of humor, but most of the time really dark.

This movie is something which everyone has to see it once in their lifetime.

The 80's settings brings a darker filter to it, It also borrows heavily from movies of that era, including "The King of Comedy" and especially "Taxi Driver", in some scenes almost to the point of being a rip-off, which works wonders for it. It feels less like a Superhero/Villain Movie but more of a study.

The movie does not praise violence and it's far from being about making the Joker a "hero" or him starting a movement. Violence is what happens in between and labeling the movie as such is a misinterpretation of the picture.

Finally I think if you change the name of movie and the characters portrayed in it and the integrity of the movie and what they are trying to tell you remains the same then that movie deserves it's praise. Which can not be said about a lot of Superhero movies these days.… Expand

And usually, I give more positive reviews on things than negative. I am easily forgivable for the occasional bad movie, but this one was a movie I had to clear my conscious of. I didn't want all the press and early reviews to cloud my judgment on what I PERSONALLY thought of the film. So after seeing it, what do I think? I believe the hype. It's a true modern day masterpiece that deserves all the praise it gets and none of the hate from naysayers. Phoenix gives a performance that rivals Ledger's and brings something never before seen to the comic book world. Todd Phillips has proven that he no longer needs the frat-boy comedies and that the world of dramas is where he thrives best. Lawrence Sharr, the man behind the cinematography, has brought to life some of the most gorgeous shots I have ever personally seen, even rivaling Roger Deakins from Blade Runner 2049. The score by Hildur is ecstatic and terrifying to listen to. I really love this movie, from its story -- while familiar -- fits within the world that has been established, to the acting FROM EVERYBODY, to the greater themes of bad days, society, and madness itself. It's sad to say that we will never get another look into the world of Joker because this movie left me wanting more, and that's a truly amazing thing for a movie to do. If it leaves you wanting more, then it did its job. Joker is a masterpiece, a true statement on the culture of cinema, and I hope that everyone who receives a nomination wins it, because this movie deserves it. And for the love of God, send in the clowns. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. HA HA HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!… Expand

Wasn't quite hyped about it, I mean, an origin story of a villain made by the director of Hangover movies; what could I even expect? Then, the reviews started to drop. Still wasn't sure if I would like it. And after I saw it, it was way better than I thought it would be. I won't call it a masterpiece, but it definitely is on my top 3 DC films of all times! .
.
Good : There's hardly anything bad about Joker. Joaquin Phoenix does a great job of bringing the character into life. Rather than a typical superhero/supervillain origin story, we get to see a psychological drama + horror, and thank God, we got that. I love the genre, I love films like Infinity War, Days of Future Past, Endgame and Raimi's Spider-Man. But occasionally, it's really good to take a break from such films. It's, kind of, in the category of films like Unbreakable. Basically, the movie is (no spoilers ahead) Arthur, being tormented by the society and being a mentally unstable loner, loses his mind after the constant torment and after that, all hell breaks loose. That's all the movie shows. It would be quite difficult to give a really good story for a plot like this, since there are many movies with this kind of plot (awfully crappy ones included). I completely liked this movie, means the screenplay and direction worked for me. You can feel for Arthur, whenever the movie asks you to. You want to root for Arthur, but you know that it will mean some incredibly terrible things will happen. We see him slowly transition into Joker, and when he completely turns into the Joker it is worth a round of applause. We feel good as well as terrified with the actions of the Joker whenever he snaps and crazy stuff happens. Without getting into spoilers, I would say - in short - that it has many quotable lines and each of them make sense. Whatever Joker (a psychopath) says is more realistic than what a sane person says. And obviously has some sick, terrifying and gruesome Joker moments that a proper Joker movie should have. If it's not clear by the trailers, there's no Batman here. But (again, no spoilers) it does have some Batman references to support the movie. It could've created a mess and might have felt like a shoehorned plotline, but it plays out as a proper support for the main story and the transition of Arthur into Joker. .
.
Mixed : It is a good thing that the movie has a 70s psycho horror vibe to it. But, it could've been more original. Like many others have pointed out, it's similar to Taxi Driver by Scorsese. While it wasn't a copy and paste of Taxi Driver, but some parts make it obvious that the movie was inspired by Taxi Driver. Not necessarily a bad thing, the movie has the elements as a homage-ish way, but looking at how well made it was, it could've been slightly more original. And, it may feel a bit slow for some people, though it's worth your time. .
.
My take on the controversy : It can happen that some morons might watch this film and cause violence. It can happen with any violent movie. But, even though it justified the Joker's actions, it doesn't show them to be right. Speaking of violence, it's just psychologically compelling horror. It's less violent than Deadpool, but feels more violent as it's a serious movie. So, glorification and siding with a psychopath is a complete and total f**king bulls**t. .
.
Conclusion : It's a must watch. You don't need to follow any of the DC movies to understand it. But do not expect it to be a typical superhero action film with CGI battles and a spectacle. Wrong expectations might ruin the experience. Else, I found it to be better than The Dark Knight Rises. And TDKR is one of my favorites in the genre. If a Nolan movie is replaced by another movie in my list, you may consider it to be great. One last thing, people causing violence because of Joker would be equivalent to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly inspiring three people to have a gun duel for some gold. .

It's been SO LONG since I've seen a movie with QUALITY, something that makes you think, something that's different and as creative as this. Honestly... just when I was starting to lose faith in the movie industry this comes along and blows me away, it gave me that feeling of "finally! A movie we've been desperately needing in the age of reboots and remakes and remasters and live cartoon adaptations and political correctness BS" this is the direction the movie industry has to go and keep going. It's exactly what I personally always wanted as a Joker movie, a character study analysis about a broken man. Joaquin Phoenix deserves an award for his performance he killed it and honestly crushes all the previous Joker's that came before him that we've seen on screen and that's a huge statement. That laugh will send chills of disturbances down your spine every single time. It's a mix of sadness, confusion and just downright creepy I will even dare to say it's better than Mark Hamill's laugh. Make of that what you will. Acting? Superb!! Atmosphere and tone was perfect for this style of movie very depressing. Story? I won't spoil but it is very engaging, makes you think and you definitely feel for the Arthur. You'll be asking yourself questions even after the credits roll. No post credits by the way so don't sit through it. Music is a huge plus the composer really made the perfect soundtrack for such a film, she captures the mood and mentality of Arthur with every key note played a real treat. Loved it, I don't care what anyone says this is a 10/10 to me. If you love the Joker, or just a very good thriller about a broken man - watch this you won't regret it. Also - the snowflakes crying about wanting this banned because of violence? Ha... there was hardly any. I think other movies are worse in that regard, more drama than action if anything so no it won't promote a mass shooting or anything like that if anything it helps raise awareness on helping the mentally ill. Don't believe the fake news and mass hysteria, do yourself a favor - watch it and make your own judgement.

Joaquin Phoenix man... that guy never fails to impress.… Expand

You feel Bruse Wayne's pain and love for the city. You sense the necessity of sacrifice of such social elites to save the city. Joker, on the other hand, tells the story from an entirely different angle. You get to see Gotham from the point of view of a commoner, who struggles at his day to day life, just like all the other commoners, struck by recession, having little to rely on, cheating and hurting others on daily basis just to get by. You get to see the City from the eyes of people who are routinely looked down upon by the Elite, either as trash, or as someone to be "changed" or "saved".

One suggestion for the viewer who is going to watch this movie:
Although from the surface level, the Gotham and the people portrayed in this movie might feels different from the impression you got from Batman movies. Remember that you are looking at the world from the perspective of the Joker. Watch with your existing understandings on those familiar characters in mind. Try and understand the contradictions that you see. Enjoy the movie with this mind set, you will end up with a much deeper appreciation over this piece of art.

Joker is, with no doubt, a dark movie, as what a movie named as Joker should be. Yet with the dark story, it intrigues deep contemplation. Moreover, the social problem this movie portrays actually reflects the ever growing conflicts and dissonance in multiple parts of our contemporary world on many interesting levels. In my humble opinion, this movie is the definition of MASTERPIECE.… Expand

Is he a maniac created by an accidental fall into an acidic bath or is he a symptom of the society as a whole? Joker tries to answer these questions, while it also gives the audience an honest glimpse of our modern society, where the poor are forgotten and left in a system that is meant to keep taps on them more than help them.
It is understandable why this movie has created so much controversy, because while it meant to be the backstory of Batman's arch-nemesis, it is firmly grounded in the reality and problems of today of today. problems that most people don't want to talk about or recognize.
Because of this, and due in a large part to the stellar performance of Joaquin Phoenix, this movie deserves the highest of marks, no matter what the professional critics might think. The movie is just about two hours long, but time flies when you're having fun, and in my humble opinion this is a movie that everyone should watch.
The best detail about this movie is the fact that it works perfectly as a standalone criticism of today's society, but it also works as a prequel to Christopher Nolan's "The Dark Knight" from 2008, as it tells a plausible backstory to Heath Ledgers Joker.

In short; this movie should be seen by all, and it should be rewarded with as many rewards as possible.… Expand

People are going to get upset thinking the Joker is a protagonist that the movie is encouraging you to root for. I highly disagree. This movie is a character-study not asking you to sympathize the anti-hero but to understand him. If you thought you could go to an origin story about a villain and not be uncomfortable then I'm not sure how to console you. The movie is a masterpiece and DC absolutely needs to head in this direction to save us from the cursed Disney Marvel content that has no heart but ironically is praised by the critics.… Expand

My wife and I saw this and were mesmerized for the entire movie. I saw only one mistake in the movie and it was minor. This is absolutely an incredible origin story and I honestly think the "professional" critics (many of which only write for blogs) can't seperate their personal biases from their critique of this movie. Go see this movie.… Expand

A message that’s painfully true that’s been told by the brilliant writers that worked on this movie that society can be cruel, and society is also the reason behind all the rioting, murder, stealing, etc, that’s in the world. A movie that has deep characters, interesting story, realistic acting combined with realistic action, and a powerful ending (that some people might have missed the mark at what it meant,) is worthy of a 10/10 flick.… Expand

Out of this whole year I have never watched a movie that played with my emotions quite like this film. Joker is a character study on one of the most famous villains in the dc comics but this film is not what you expect.

the best movie about the origin of a comic book character, we can understand the motives of Arthur Fleck, and the producers did a great job of getting us close to the joker and making us like it. Joaquin Phoenix also greatly improves the experience.

Phoenix presents us a character that is complex and stands as a main character that whilst morally challenged we still root for their ideals in the end. Every actor in this film showed clear passion to the art they was presenting and that is extremely surprising especially looking at DC's previous track record. In all honesty Joker is the best depiction of the character I have ever seen Heath Ledger would be proud of the work Phoenix has done and I would love to see more of his portrayal of this beloved character.
Joker is not only the best film to be released this year but one of the best films of past 10 years.… Expand

His upset with his laughter and psychological problems makes the character's story more interesting in terms of how his problems with people are presented and the part of Gotham's society that fits him.
A conflict in Gotham's society and in his mind makes things harder for the character to understand, and also makes it more enigmatic for the public.
Good references are used and embedded that make sense of the story and make the movie even better.

Its direction and photography are really pleasing and excellent. Joaquin Phoenix acting is spectacular. And it's a powerful competitor for the Best Actor in a Leading Role and the movie itself for the Best Picture award. When I saw this movie it remembered me a lot to Martin Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976) due to its cinematic references to the classic. It was definitely worth the money and time. And after years of a lot of superhero movies coming from Marvel Studios, this one comes (in my opinion) as a very needful type of movie these days. A serious, dark, with a bit of funny moments movie. To see Arthur Fleck A.K.A. Joker, (Joaquin Phoenix) transform from a relatively "normal" guy to a crazy, obscure man because of all the revelations and life problems he has to go through, is just, as mentioned before, brilliant. Also adding that the script, was written as a new origin for Batman's enemy, the direction and acting from Phoenix and that its final minutes are just excellent, makes this movie as named in the title, an authentic masterpiece.… Expand
