As an origin movie, you cannot expect this to be action-packed like Ledger's performance of the clown. However, Pheonix does a great job showing you how the Joker became the villain we know today. The film can be a bit hard to watch at parts for people who aren't used to such violence. What we see is a very good look into the mind of someone who is beaten down by the rotten people of society and driven to the edge of sanity. Even if you are not a Batman or Joker fan, this is worth a watch for the study of a character alone. Expand

A masterpiece.
Joaquin's performance in this movie is something that haven't seen on the big screen in a very long time, while the soundtrack behind , empowers the scenes and gets you to the exact point where you can live the story through Joker's eyes.
And maybe that's the reason the reviewers were so afraid of complimenting this movie , because they were afraid of representing something that goes against everything they believe in .

The Joker is great in almost everything - the acting, the colors, the visuals, the dialogue, the makeup - but like the main character, it's completely empty inside.

Like Arthur, who sits in a dark room and fantasises about a better life, Phillips's Joker wants so badly to be something more than a superhero (or supervillain?) movie.
It tries to be a critique to modern society, but fails at being realistic.
It tries to be an elegy to nihilism, but its protagonist is more of a common criminal than an Übermensch.
It tries to be complex, but its black and white perspective makes it something you would expect in fanfiction. There is nothing new in Arthur's descent into madness and more importantly there is no real conflict. The viewer knows from the start what will happen, he knows that Arthur is supposed to be the victim who finally snaps and gets revenge on the real bad guys (namely everyone else). This movie feels like a "gut punch" to some people because of its emotional intensity - but is this feeling genuine? Or is there something more to it? The writers tried to make Arthur Fleck as real as possible, to make him a tragic character, but in the end it looks like they googled "Buttmonkey" and built him around that concept.

Many emotions sprawled,theirs a bit of dark-humor, analyzing the society on a deeper level and a potential coming of age story for a man so worn down by society his only escape is to reinvent himself into someone he would like for others to see him as.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, that was dark... I do have some trouble with specific dark content as it usually strays away from the artistic wonder that it needs to serve a purpose. When I walked in to see this film, I had butterflies in my tum-tum as I didn't know how the dark subject matter could be handled. Then I saw this experience. I love this film for the same reason that I love A Clockwork Orange. **** up content that is handled with dignity. Making the audience empathise with Arthur until he lashes out. It's a perfect balance. The score is masterful, Joaquin Phoenix's performance actually makes me jealous on how good it is. I do say that it does have some issues such as Bruce Wayne being involved for fan service. (However, I do like how they recreated Batman's origin). There really wasn't any importance with him and the illusions do seem a bit of an excuse for some flaws such as Joker shooting Murray because, "why does that camera keep broadcasting this"? or "How come Murray didn't expect Joker to game-end him with a gun"? But, in the end, I don't care. A very good film that is worth your time. Expand

Joaquin has delivered a performance that stands toe to toe with the likes of Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. This film feels extremely prescient in our time as many who are disaffected are shunned and treated like they're toxic by nature.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The music, cinematography, and the lead actor were incredible! The plot, pacing, and the idea that this was so supposed to be the Joker is the real joke here. Practically nothing was portrayed correctly in this movie from the comics or even other films or cartoons, and all that could be forgiven if they at least captured the essence of the character however they did not. He was never really funny (even though comedy is subjective as Arthur states himself) he isn't really a criminal he just kind of stumbles and fumbles through every situation, and most importantly he wasn't smart or conniving. This is supposed to the legendary, the infamous, the iconic villain of Batman in the future? A weak, pathetic, mentally ill clown that can't even keep a job or take care of his mother. Everything is handed to this character through plot driven circumstances. Oh the crowd just happens to get riled up just in time so he can slip through and meet Thomas Wayne. He didn't rile up the crowd, or plan a diversion how did he get a service outfit to blend in? Oh it was just laying around in a service closet just his size. The real Joker is smart and that is what allows him to go to to toe with the greatest detective of all time. He doesn't just get the luckiest circumstances in the world and just happens to beat Batman. He plans and schemes and puts on a show and actually knows how to be funny if he wants to be. The only reason I think this has good reviews is because my generation doesn't know the characters, and joaquin phoenix is an amazing artist bringing the role he was told to play to life. If this was a random movie about a random clown with mental illness and tragic story it would be a decent movie. As a movie supposedly portraying the Joker it was the worst movie DC has made so far. It was a movie made is if they don't understand their own character or why he is even so iconic or infamous in the first place. Sincerely a huge Joker fan Expand

The Joker character alone is a legend of a villain with his twisted, cold mind and legacy. And the movie really convinces you he's the good guy before he breaks and goes deeper on madness. As the good guy, you expect the moment he overcomes everything, but the movie will hit you with its shocking moments to remind you that this is not the case, that Joker is a villain, but not over nothing.
When you watch Pirates of the Caribbean, you see captain Jack Sparrow rather than Johnny Depp. When you watch this movie, you see the Joker, as it's impossible to see Joaquin Phoenix, because it was an outstanding performance.
It easily is the most remarkable movie of the year, and will (probably) make you feel bad at the end of it. Put it simple, it's a masterpiece, a fine work of art.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The film was impressive, and now I understand why it has 16+ mark. The film shows how the community hurts its members turning them into monsters. That was also the best actor to play Joker I have ever seen, so I wold recommend it to anyone.

P.S. That was an absolutely different Joker from the previous onces, and for sure different from Marvels' "Evilmen"

Joker is a somewhat unnecessary take on one of the world's most famous comic book villains.
Phoenix is very, very good and he will at least get an Oscar nomination for his Travis Bickle-esq downward spiral.

Something bothered me about this movie right from the get go.
It was dark, very, very dark, "Gritty" and grim, but most of all it was totally devoid of fun
There was no menace, he was portrayed as nothing but a social outcast, a damaged, demented character with no charisma.
Charisma is who The Joker has always been, Nicholson, Hamill, both of their "versions" were much more endearing, menacing and dangerous. Phoenix is just a psycho who's been pushed too far.
The social commentary is there in spades and is frankly over the top. Its too dark, predictable and honestly not that good.

Despite a history of various actors completely nailing the role director Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix bring to life an extremely original take on this much beloved character. Arthur Fleck is a mentallyJoker is an absolute masterpiece. Despite a history of various actors completely nailing the role director Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix bring to life an extremely original take on this much beloved character. Arthur Fleck is a mentally ill professional clown with dreams of becoming a stand up comedian. But after a series of traumatic/hurtful experiences Arthur slowly begins to crack as he is edged closer and closer to insanity. Many critics including Peter Bradshaw (the guardian) have criticized joker for its ambiguous handling of morals and encouraging of violent behavior, however I can confirm that this is not the case. Although our protagonist is an extremely troubled man and his actions are far from virtuous, we don’t sympathise with Arthur because of his attributes as a person, but because of how badly he is treated by others. Todd Phillips does an excellent job of shining a light on real world problems, whether it be wealthy capitalists who don’t hold any concern for the poor or stage show hosts who practically make profit from ridiculing others. Although some of it may be a bit far fetched it is purposefully done this way in order to prevent the film from feeling too political. Joaquin Phoenix is outstanding In every aspect, and his performance is definitely Oscar worthy. The supporting cast as well, although not as heavily focused on, certainly never falter. Another feature that separates Joker from most films of its genre is steering clear of the trends of blockbuster action. When there is the occasional moment of violence it feels dark, gritty and shocking to say the least. Another problem that critics claim exists is that the film draws heavy inspiration from other movies such as the atmosphere in taxi driver or the riots from V for vendetta but once again I disagree, because the film does enough to feel different from all of them. There is so much more I could say to praise this film, but in order to not drag I’ll just leave out some of the less important details. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E-Value: 9
Acting: 9
Plot: 9

Unlike the previous DC movies (after 2012's The Dark Knight Rises) which is set in DC Extended Universe, Joker is a standalone movie which is separated from the shared universe franchise and starred Joaquin Phoenix as the titular character instead of Jared Leto, who previously portrayed the character in 2016's Suicide Squad.

Set in the year of 1981, Arthur Fleck (Phoenix) lives in Gotham City with his mother, Penny Fleck (Conroy), and works a party clown to make ends meet. He also idolised the talk show host, Franklin Murray (De Niro) and wants to be like him one day. Life in Gotham City is very difficult for him because the city is filled with crimes, unemployment and society is very heavily divided between the rich and poor.

Arthur also has a disorder which causes him to laugh at inappropriate times and he always relied on social services program for his medication. His life starts to get from bad to worse when he lost his job due to bringing a gun to a children's hospital while entertaining the children which is meant for his own protection and being sold out by his friend who gave him the gun to protect his own skin.

The worst things happened to him does not stop there. After he lost his job, he gets beaten up by three drunken Wayne Enterprises employees in a subway train which forced him to kill two of them with his gun in self-defense and execute the last one when he attempts to escape. Not long after that, he loses access to his medication after the social services program got shut down due to budget cut and learns a horrifying truth about his mother along with his past. Arthur's fall to the path of darkness begins here.

While it may not be part of the shared universe, this movie is really great and the tone is very dark and even better when combined with the plot which is very well written and executed. It is even darker than 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and The Dark Knight Trilogy.

What I love about the movie are the character developement and ambiguous nature. For the former, I love how Arthur Fleck's journey began from a nobody who is ignored by society until his transformation into an iconic villain being depicted. He worked very hard as working man but after all that hard work, he always ended up getting beaten, betrayed and even being mock by other people. All these bad things happened to him had led him to become a villain. All it takes to change a person was a "one bad day".

For the latter, Todd Phillips managed to make the movie into an open ended and more than one interpretation. This is true to the source material because Joker does not really have an origin story in the comic book. In the comic book itself, Joker prefer his origin story to be a multiple choice. This multiple choice was used in the movie which really made you think whether which parts of his origin are true and what other parts are false. It is really up to audiences' interpretation. That is what made the movie plot really great.

Joaquin Phoenix is really amazing in his performance as Joker. He put up a lot of effort in this role and he successfully nailed it. His dances in some scenes and his Joker laugh are very impressive. In addition, his version of Joker is right on par with the late Heath Ledger, who portrayed Joker in 2008's The Dark Knight. His acting skills is definitely an Oscars worthy be nominate as Best Actor and might even have the chance to win that award.

This movie is truly a masterpiece for a low budget superhero (or supervillain in this case) movie. I would definitely recommend to watch this movie to everyone and not just comic book fans.

Best movie I’ve seen in over at least a decade. By far the best comic book movie of all time.
Don’t listen to the liberal rag reviews, they’re just pissed the movie didn’t inspire a real life mass act of violence they could take advantage of.
