Seeing how critics gave this movie a bad score and crap like Thor Ragnarok a good one makes me realize I should never, ever take their reviews in consideration. This movie is a M-A-S-T-E-R-P-I-E-C-E! go see it for yourself

Yet the commitment of its production team and its cast created something else entirely, and it resonates with so many people. Is it a completely 'original work'? No, as the slow yet sure descent to madness 'psychological thriller' was a staple in the 70's. Taxi Driver...A Dog Day's Afternoon...Joker paid a handsome homage to these flicks. Kudos also to Phoenix's incredibly committed performance as Arthur Fleck aka the Joker. It is an incredible feat that will probably land him an Oscar Nomination, and a highly probable win. Yet again, why just an '8'? Simply because I have seen this film 'before' and it is simply a repackaging of these beloved 1970's flick (many are directed by the comic book genre's biggest 'critic' Marty Scorcesse). Yet, it is a great film that is to some extent,that lives up to all its hype. Expand

This film is from the start to the final scene clever. It isn't a popcorn film you would take your other half to see, it isn't like your marvel action feast that you will be used to of late. No this is a film of the gradual downward spiral of one man, commonly known today as the joker. Joaquin's performance was 100% dedication, forsaking all past iterations and giving a performance to be respected on its own

As a kid I loved superhero comics, as it happens, my parents owned a collected volume of (pre-super) Batman comics. Good stories, if a bit corny in spots. The Joker was one of the most recurring villains in them. Yet it wasn't until BatmanAs a kid I loved superhero comics, as it happens, my parents owned a collected volume of (pre-super) Batman comics. Good stories, if a bit corny in spots. The Joker was one of the most recurring villains in them. Yet it wasn't until Batman TAS that Mark Hamill's performance as a voice-actor really brought the Joker to life. For most of my life I felt that the Joker was a perfect if cartoony villain. Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger did amazingly well in the live-action portrayals, but Hamill still did it best. So... my brother and I have been trying to spend a bit more time together as we do not have a lot of family left. We have gone to see a few movies and we both enjoyed comics as kids, so Joker (which I'd heard good things about) was a natural choice. And we were both blown away. This review is just my personal opinion mind and I will strive to keep away from spoilers.

Primarily, Joker is not a super-hero story. It is a psychological drama set against a fictional city, containing characters with recognisable names all from a comicbook franchise. But it is not a fantasy-filled spandex-fest. Todd Phillips has made this movie in quite a different way than I had imagined possible. It is a story about one unhappy, mentally and emotionally scarred man trying to live in a city that has severe issues. Over the course of the movie, in which these worsen and throughout which Phillips makes the viewer wonder what is real, we follow Arthur Fleck's descent if not into madness than to and beyond the breaking point. The climax of the movie perfectly encapsulates this: if you keep pushing someone, then you will get what you deserve.

It is a phenomenal artwork, this movie. And Joaquin Phoenix has played his role as Arthur perfectly. Scratch Letho, that was a cartoon character done badly. Phoenix on the other hand has portrayed a human being. A broken man in a **** of a city living in utter misery... You get why what happens, happens. I cannot praise Phoenix enough here as he has made the Joker an actual human being. Something that only occurred in rare flashes throughout the comics, say at the end of The Killing Joke. As a viewer of the movie, you will be touched by this. Hopefully, it will inspire you, or at the least promote empathy.
The rest of the cast also manages to come across as genuine. The lone mother, the social worker, the asshat office workers... They can be found on Earth as well.

To address the critic reviewbombs: Not all movies are intended to be sugarcoated stories for mentally challenged babies. Functional violence, deep themes and complex issues in a morally grey story have their place in movies. Heck, any form of fiction. Joker deserves all the awards it can get and then some. It is clear why this movie does better than the parodious Batwoman.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. People keep saying this is a phenomenal portrayal of people with mental health problems. It’s not it’s damaging and not like any people I’ve come across. The vast majority of people who have been hurt in childhood and suffered trauma do not hurt anyone. The only person they hurt are themselves because they struggle to deal with the trauma they have and they are often not getting the support they need. To suggest trauma means you can go crazy and commit horrific crimes is rare and unfair to people with mental health issues. The film is also boring. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Es una pelicula demasiado grandiosa, el hecho de combinar la realidad y relacionarlo con un personaje de un comic haciendolo ver de una manera surrealista que podria suceder en la actualidad y de hecho le da el toque de enves de comvertirlo en una simple pelicula puede ser una historia completamente real, de hecho los casos de asesinos con problemas psicologicos son relativamente parecidos. En mi opinion, puede ser visto de muchas maneras, como a la par verlo como un llamado a la sociedad el cual el mensaje sea la tolerancia y el respeto por los demas, el ponerse en los zapatos de la otra persona y comprender que no todos tenemos la misma vida con ventajas o desventajas, como a la vez un simbolo de revelion para otros ya que tambien vivimos en una sociedad donde la moral esta por los suelos cuando uno asiende hacia el poder y es el pueblo mismo quien debe sufrir esa falta de etica por parte del gobierno. Simplemente tiene muchos mensajes sobre la realidad que vivimos hoy en dia y como ya se establecio antes, esto es a manera de entretenimiento solo es una pelicula para ver y reir o llorar un rato de la realidad en la se convirtio el mundo. Quiza la idea principal de la pelicula sea arreglar todo el mundo que hemos creado, no a traves de asesinatos, disputas y problemas. Sino a la traves de la union, del saber que esta bien y que esta mal como Ghandi lo dijo una vez "No hay que apagar la luz de otro para lograr que brille la nuestra". Expand

Any ways The movie was just ok. It was well Directed and the acting was good, Story was alright. My problems with it are going in I just thought Phoenix was Miscast as the Joker and after seeing it, well it just confirms I was right. I can admit when I'm wrong cause I thought the same thing with Downey as Ironman and Heath ledger as the Joker but completely changing my mind after I saw the movie. Phoenix is just to old to play the Joker, He looks 50 on top of that his voice just doesn't carry any weight of insanity nor do I buy him as the Joker. Now I do think Phoenix is a good actor and I think he was trying his best to do it but he just doesn't pull it off for me. I also hated the make up job for the Joker. It just didn't look right. He looked like a normal clown instead of a Insane one.

The Script is pretty good I like its Darker tone. I'm getting bored of these copy paste comic book movies. I want some thing Darker and edgier and this does deliver on that. It does take awhile for it to get going but we do get to see the Jokers slow decent into madness, which is done pretty good. If they could have just found the right actor for the Joker this could have been a 8 or maybe even a 9 from me. Who should have played the Joker? I dont know I really dont follow who the young actors are out there so I dont know who should have been cast for the part but he should have been younger like mid to late 20s considering Batman is only like 11 or 12 in this. I kept thinking when they meet for the first time the Joker is gonna be pushin 70.

You sense the necessity of sacrifice of such social elites to save the city. Joker, on theIn a classic Batman movie (in 2000s), you see Gotham from the point of view of the honorable elites. 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.

The Joker is crazy. Yeah, we know. We knew that already. Joaquin Phoenix is a good actor? Yeah we knew that also. If anything, it's an essay on mental illness. At a time when we need more compassion and resources towards mental illness, the film shocks the viewer in to out-right fearing it. Sure, maybe that's not the intention, but that's the result. Or maybe it's just a movie about a comic book character and I shouldn't take it so literally. Either way, it's not something I'd recommend to people, and I won't watch it again. In the end, it's just not fun. Go watch one of the many other (superior) Joaquin Phoenix films instead. Expand

Right after the first scene, it made me think of the opening scenes in (Tarkovsky's) Andrei Rublev where the town jester succombs to melancholy (and the Tartar horde) amid the utter despair of the Russian folks. The Joker is the face of human spirit resisting and subliming nihilism, just like Rublev's bellboy is, despite having to go very different routes.
Phoenix is phenomenal. He makes De Niro's acting look wooden and, simply, bad, in the only weak scene of the film. So-called professional critics should take a good look in the mirror to see if they have the same courage to face the truth the Joker reveals about all of us.

Bruce Wayne gets mentioned and my eyes roll. Should have been about a guy who embraces his inner clown after losing his job. Would have been more interesting because as it stands it feels like it sticks to the source material for the Joker and as a result I lost interest. The early parts of the movie are definitely the best. It sort of hovers between Taxi Driver and Batman. Can't decide whether it wants to be a serious movie or a comic book movie. Expand

Absolutely Amazing movie! Psychological, atmospheric, shocking, amazing acting from Joaquin Phoenix(should be an oscar), good origin story, reat cinematography, good pacing. Grim, dark movie which rightly reflects the state of Gotham city.Absolutely Amazing movie! Psychological, atmospheric, shocking, amazing acting from Joaquin Phoenix(should be an oscar), good origin story, reat cinematography, good pacing. Grim, dark movie which rightly reflects the state of Gotham city. Some parts are kinda hard to watch and the movie makes you feel all kinds of things. I just thought the scenes with BW were unnecessary and didnt need to be there at all.
Still the best movie in many years.

The new Joker movie is yet another visceral and cerebral retelling of the iconic Joker character. Albeit the thematic of this iteration is more of a macabre "Rite of Passage." I absolutely adore it:

The Good: Stellar acting. Themes of gray
The new Joker movie is yet another visceral and cerebral retelling of the iconic Joker character. Albeit the thematic of this iteration is more of a macabre "Rite of Passage." I absolutely adore it:

The Good: Stellar acting. Themes of gray and grey morality. Gratuitous violence. The Cinematography and disturbing realism.
The Bad: A rather peculiar lack of consequences for his actions. While it is expected, coming from a villain's P.O.V., it inevitably loses a bit of hardcore grit that could have put it a slight tier above Heath Ledger's Joker, whose dark and brutal portrayal is immortal.
The Ugly: This is a good kind of ugly, but the haunting irony, the touch on several topical themes that ail our society and the wonderful musical thematics that accompanies the movie creates a haunting experience and I was wowed beyond belief in an era where I have massive brightness-induced-apathy with overenfranchised Marvel and DC comics movies with pointless, unnecessary remakes. I swear if another Avengers movie comes out, I'm boycotting superhero movies for another ten years. More of this visceral, cerebral content that actually bothers to stimulate your mind please!

9/10

And in a sens, his fate seems linked to the city itself. There is no fx here. The action is minimal and there are some violent moments. The performance of Phoenix is amazing (Oscar's worthy). And it has a good cast around him. The music is interesting and sound like some parts of The Dark Knight. Some areas of the movie are a bit slow. I personally didn't like the constant smoking. I give it 75%. Really good acting and interesting story. Expand

Kind of like a derivative Taxi Driver fused with Clockwork Orange, only slightly made watchable by Phoenix playing a crazy person. Basically a pointless exercise with no redeeming value.

I only really have one problem with the film: it's script. Now, the story is actually pretty good, it's just that it's one we've seen before in films like Taxi Driver. For a comic book movie movie, it's a pretty unique script, but compared to other films like this, it doesn't do this kind of story as well. It's a little slow n parts and its dialogue is nothing special, but this is still a pretty well written movie, with symbolism left and right and a satisfying, yet tragic, arc for its protagonist. On its own, this is a very well made movie, but just isn't quite a masterpiece (though, it was pretty close to being one). Expand

The story follows (Ben) Arthur Flecks descent from a deranged recluse to an unhinged murderous lunatic with a cult following. This film uses current world issues to add plausibility to it's story, you never quite find yourself empathizing with Arthur, but you can understand how he gets to be the Joker and why. Joaquin Phoenix's performance is fantastic in this movie, you really can't help but think of how short changed Jared Leto must be feeling right now. The acting is great, the story is captivating if now a little slow at points and the cinemetography is gorgeous. Well worth a watch! Expand
