This film does notElements of fantasy and fiction are still present in this Joker film, but the more realistic spice of conflict is one of the keys to the success of character building and the dark atmosphere until the end of the story. This film does not present a variety of exciting action scenes, but rather is focused on the drama of life as a Gotham society whose situation is not conducive for everyone. Conflict that can be better understood and coupled with how Arthur sees the world and his surroundings which is heavily influenced by his mental health condition, we are invited to take part in falling into the madness he experiences throughout the film. There is greater sympathy for the character of the Joker this time, but it also creates a conflict in your mind that what the Joker himself did cannot be fully justified.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. My only concern about the movie was the scene of Thomas Wayne going with his family to the theater on that specific day knowing that there's was going to be a possible riot in the afternoon. The scene going trough the alley was perfect at first, but knowing what was going to happen was pointless. The scene could have been better if a police's officer told him to go trough the alley so nothing happens to the Wayne's family. But then a thug kill the police officer making Thomas Wayne's getting shot an Martha too. Other than that i loved the hole movie.… Expand

I experienced sadness, creepiness, joy, rage, confusionA confused representation of insanity from a perspective of a sane person, a celebration of madness and chaos.
At last, I have watched one of the most anticipated movies of this year.
I experienced sadness, creepiness, joy, rage, confusion altogether, and it felt good.
The story was above average, sometimes the director seemed confused about what he's trying to say.
There were so many beautiful distinct pieces scattered throughout the film that gives you chills but ultimately they failed to form a complete landscape, eventually it became a gorgeously crafted baroque film with a sheer hollow inside.
It criticizes our self-centered, pretentious, empathy less society but ironically the movie itself falls under its own sword.

Welcome, Tod Phillips to the big boy's club! His direction was crafty and pretty awesome though lack a little bit of originality. His trick with Arthur's illusion seemed a bit risky given its context. We will never know for sure if Arthur did go Murray's show or not!

The cinematography was superb, there were plenty of scenes that'll enter your mind and stay there for a while.

Joaquin Phoenix did his best, tried hard to embody the magnanimous character of Joker, he did pretty well, but sometimes it felt he was just trying too hard. Despite it's unfair to compare him with great heath ledger I must say he was able to pull it off impressively and takes this Joker to a distinct level. It was a one-man show and he's gonna get nominated for the academy award for sure.

One of the most entertaining and satisfying aspects of this film is its music composition, damn! It was too good, and you'll get to see some insane dance move as a bonus.
The main problem with this film is the lack of originality and a precise plot, sometimes it felt like the movie itself was confused and wandering aimlessly! That's why it failed to become a complete cinematic art rather than a montage of eye pleasing scenes, and nothing more.

Overall, despite its shortcomings, this movie is definitely one of the most exciting movie of this year.

Even though the action happens in the imaginary City of Gotham, this film does not fit properly into that category. There is no hero in the movie, and the Joker is hardly THE villain.

Without spoiling the movie I would like to mention that I do not agree with all the hype about it. Especially with its moral and political message.

The movie is done extremely well technically. Joaquin Phoenix is a great actor (what a surprise!). Is it his best role? I don't think so. For an actor of his caliber it is not that difficult to play a mentally disturbed person. No doubt, he carries the whole film.

I did not like the script except the very end of it that puts the whole content into a question. Did it ALL happen? Or was it just a hallucination of a sick mind?

As a serious movie it is not working. But you cannot expect if from Marvel series.
As piece of entertainment, it definitely found huge audience. Me excluded.

I do not regret that I saw it. But I will not want to see it the second time.
Your mileage might vary.… Expand

There’s something beautifully hypnotic about Joaquin Phoenix.

Everytime I try to figure out why, but nothing will come closer to the answer. How lucky are we to go to the cinema and watch one of the greatest livings actors of our generationThere’s something beautifully hypnotic about Joaquin Phoenix.

Everytime I try to figure out why, but nothing will come closer to the answer. How lucky are we to go to the cinema and watch one of the greatest livings actors of our generation in his prime giving us a performance that we will never forget. Joaquin Phoenix was absolutely phenomenal as Arthur Fleck, or his stage name ‘Joker’. Some of the best acting I’ve seen all year.

Phoenix lost a staggering 50 Pounds for the role and there’s plenty of scenes where we see his whole body in frame. You literally see every bone in this guys body, and at times it makes him look ghoulish. Oddly shaped and mangled. With his shoulder blades in clear sight, you could metaphorically say he’s an angel fallen to hell after losing his wings, or something like that. When he laughs I feel his pain, because the character has a mental condition where he has episodes of uncontrollable laughter that doesn’t reflect his actual mood. A real life condition that’s so awful to imagine. Phoenix can act with his eyes where you see the pain and anxiety from Arthur's mental state.

Whenever Arthur feels like he’s in control of something in his life, he dances. There’s a bathroom scene where we first see his dance, which looks a lot like Tai chi while displaying such power. Its also when darkness started to crawl into his soul. Something so simple can speak more than a million words. And what’s more impressive he completely improvised that scene. I like when directors let actors play around.

I felt sorry for Arthur, not because I related to him or I saw myself in him, but because Phoenix is that brilliant of an actor that you struggle to pick a side to root for or against. Despite the questionable and straight up horrific acts he commits, but you understand how he got to this point and it dawns on you how much of a tragedy it is.

‘Joker’ has already divided people like no movie ever. People say the movie is empty and has nothing to say. I don’t agree, because the message is loud and clear - don’t be a dick to your fellow neighbor. Todd Philips never intended to make a political statement, but to hold up a mirror to reflect the ugliness in people and the filth in our “improved” society.

When I heard that Todd Philips was going to be directing, I thought it made perfect sense. Just watch the ‘Hangover 2 & 3’, the two most uncomfortable comedies he’s ever directed that felt more crime drama than anything funny. There’s also some dark humor in ‘Joker’ that involves a door chain. It’s silly, yet absolutely terrifying with the given context. A complete departure from his other work and that’s why I think it’s one of his best. I honestly think he made something so unique and meaningful. Seriously, I do.

The score by Hildur Guðnadóttir helped set the tone tremendously. A melancholy tone with a chaotic twist. A representation of Arthur slowly drowning in his own misery and pain. A little fun fact: The score for the film were written based on the script even before the actual filming of the movie started, which I think is the best way to do it, if you ask me. Someone to imagine movie by songs and incorporate their interpretation through music.

The cinematography was gorgeous and there’s a handful of shots that has imprinted into my memory. Lawrence Sher does an excellent job off showing the decaying Gotham city and the sewer waste look of the city. Bright neon lights with striking colors that manage to make the most run down of places look pretty.

I like how they actually gave Thomas Wayne a character rather than “guy gets shot in alleyway”. He’s portrayed as a ruthless man with blunt ways of saving Gotham City. However he loves his wife and son, so his unforgiving attitude was all for the shake of keeping his loved ones safe. He’s also a massive movie buff where he often goes to watch the classics on the big screen. So it’s an interesting take on the character viewed in somebody’s else perspective.

Now lets talk about the controversy that's been surrounding this movie:

This is one of the most ludicrous controversy in recent memory. The movie will not cause or inspire violence, but shows why violence happens. Maybe this movie could inspire people to think twice about how they treat others. Why not think about the positives? If “Joker” is going to be responsible for violence and mass shootings, then so is every other movie with any form of violence ever. And sure, there’s some brutal and raw approach to violence in ‘Joker’, but we all have seen worst. ‘Deadpool’ is more graphic than this. It's not the directors duty to teach morals to the viewer. People will never learn to stop pointing fingers at things to blame and actually do something about it! People often understandment how much power their got.

Anywhere, sorry about that folks, just had to get that off my chest. Go and check it out.… Expand

This was a harrowing descent of a man who gets brought down further and further to the birth of the character. Stand out moments like Murray being shot or the subway scene felt impacting. It felt like it made sense. As for Phoenix, my god that man can act. He managed to convey an entire spectrum of emotions. You can see the tears in his eyes as he laughs, seeing the pain that Arthur feels. Or when he laughs at Murray's body, its as if Phoenix enjoyed the scene. I wish more films like this was so impacting, harrowing and very little flaw in writing. This is how to do an origin story that's worthy of Joker and this hopefully will change DC and the genre to be more accepting of films like these.… Expand

The way the movie is executed and doesn't give away too much with what's happened or what's going to happen leaves you at the edge of your seat asking yourself "What's going to happen"/"What's happened?". The plot twist(s) prevents the movie from being predictable and too linear and leaves you discussing the movie after you watched it which is mostly a sign of a good movie if the discussions are positive.

Overall, the cinematics of the movie are amazing and the movie wouldn't get this rating if it wasn't for Joaquin's amazing acting, which made me restore my faith in Hollywood picking good actors who can act and not just because of Political Correctness.… Expand

A masterpiece. A must see. So much to think about. I honestly didn't want it to end. The music was beautiful for such a tragic story. The awkward humour was very clever.

Joker's incredible box-office hit is not without a certain irony for a film that is so inspired by the new Hollywood.
The new Hollywood is this period of American filmmaking, where filmmakers start making small and medium-budget films thatJoker's incredible box-office hit is not without a certain irony for a film that is so inspired by the new Hollywood.
The new Hollywood is this period of American filmmaking, where filmmakers start making small and medium-budget films that are part of a counter-culture, in stark contrast to the Pharaonic budgets of the big Hollywood machines of previous years, and achieve unexpected public successes for this kind of film, leading to a whole decade where audiences rush to the cinema to see films where "people in suits talk in the dark", to use Coppola's famous phrase to describe the Godfather.
Given the success of Todd Philips's reasonably priced film compared to recent blockbusters, it is hoped that this joker will pave the way for a "Hollywood renewal".
Joker even opens with the old Warner logo (the one used from 1972 to 1984), immediately marking the dark aesthetics typical of those years, and unfolds as a study of character that is reminiscent of some films of the period like Midnight Cowboy (a film filled with losers who are not without Arthur Fleck) but especially two films by Martin Scorsese: Taxi Driver at the King of Comedy (de Niro taking Lewis's place).
But the film is not just a nostalgic trip back to a bygone era, so much so that its subject is rooted in our time by talking about the ever-increasing disparity between rich and poor, by pinpointing the current political and economic discourse of the elites through the figure of Thomas Wayne, who resembles to be mistaken for a clever mix of Trump and Macron.
The film, in an obvious parallel with the society in which we live, holds out a mirror and pushes the nail down: cuts in social assistance budgets and a whole section of the society that has been abandoned will inevitably end up generating all kinds of abominations on the fertile ground that is poverty.
It is quite striking to note the similarities between the demonstrations of the Gotham subjects dressed as clown, and other mass citizen movements that can be observed in France or elsewhere at this time.
Nevertheless, beyond the question of society's collective responsibility in creating its own monsters, the film is more about studying a character who is going mad than about burning politics.
And what a character! Joaquin Phoenix masters his subject and is as touching in some scenes as he is disturbing in others, and we feel as much empathy for him as we do disgust.
And then, this laugh, which seems to physically hurt Arthur Fleck and which is an essential part of the role's panoply, this laugh, is particularly well found and defines the character perfectly, not the joker in general, but the joker in particular.
In short, a role to the disproportionate size of this talented actor.
In the end, Joker is a successful film, even if it is not without some flaws or elements that are sometimes too heavily endorsed both in its content and its staging. And while it is true that I am less enthusiastic than the average, I am delighted with the success of a film that places characters above effects and that we hope to see emulators in the future.… Expand

Once the trailers started coming out, it became clear that the film would go in a very differentI strongly dislike the character of the Joker, so when DC announced that they would be making a Joker solo film, I expected it to be terrible. Once the trailers started coming out, it became clear that the film would go in a very different direction than any previous movie featuring the Joker, and that it (very shockingly) had the potential to be actually good. After hearing great things about it which indicated that it wouldn’t be at all like I originally expected, I decided to see the film.

Arthur Fleck is so unlike previous incarnations of the Joker that it’s insulting to even consider him to be the same character. Instead of another badly written, disgusting, and monstrous überedgelord, we got a believable, lifelike, and compelling character who barely resembles the Joker. To put it more simply, other Jokers are characters written for edgelords, while Arthur is a realistic portrayal of an edgelord.

The film reflects America’s current fears of political violence, violent mobs, and spree killers. Arthur is white, male, mentally ill, has become misanthropic due to feeling that society has abused and abandoned him, and seeks attention from committing atrocities, all of which are common traits among today’s spree killers. The film is not an endorsement of violence, but an exploration of the mindset of a killer. The film is very melodramatic, but that isn’t a bad thing. Each incident that pushes Arthur further into evil is reminiscent of situations that inspire real life violence, not to endorse the violent acts, but to explain the motives behind them. A film tackling a question of “why” these acts of violence happen is needed in an age where they seem to happen so often.

Part of the reason that Black Panther was good was because it greatly distanced itself from the shared universe that it was part of. Joker takes this further by distancing itself from the entire superhero genre. In fact, the only reason that this is a superhero movie are a few place and character names that could’ve been changed without impacting the plot, but as nice as it would be, a major studio would never put so much money and effort into a film like this unless it was tied to a lucrative franchise like DC/Batman. I’ve previously said that Black Panther is the only superhero film that deserves to be nominated for an Oscar other than Best Visual Effects, but I believe that not only does Joker also deserve to be nominated in several Oscar categories, it possibly even deserves to win them. Like how I expect Black Panther to be a fluke for Marvel, I expect Joker to be a fluke for DC, being the one example of the company making a good film despite the odds.

Talking about the film’s context and comparing it to other works doesn’t really capture everything that went into making this movie good. The cinematography was better than any film I’ve seen recently, with most shots seeming to be carefully and deliberately constructed, the original score is haunting and sets the mood perfectly, dialogue is consistently well written, the actors do a great job of bringing the characters to life, and every scene stands out as memorable and potential classics. Overall, a very well made film.

Oh, a supervillain is created from an abusive home, some bullying, and the loss of a job? Then everyone would be a supervillain, eff off. Joaquin Phoenix is a complete mess, not able to keep his own interpretation consistent from moment to moment in the same scene. It's a painful wreck, and offensive to anyone who's ever actually dealt with mental health and/or abuse issues.

I think what I love the most about it is how well it captivates you. You sympathize with Arthur, You feel like the world is crashing around you as much as it does with Arthur. There isn't a single moment that happens that causes a disconnect, that puts this film outside the realm of possibility.

As opposed to typical fluff and cartoonish action scenes, however, this film doesn't horse around with pale expectations from the supervillain-following crowd. "Joker" takes itself entirely seriously and unapologetic in it's many-faceted presentation of the main character, played by former renegade actor Joachin Phoenix, with the apparent attempt to dissect this guy's psyche' within the framework of a totally serious explanation of humour vs. tragedy and evil vs. good. To the surprise of few, these analytics go only so far, leaving the audience to stitch the elements together for themselves.

The effort was noble, successful in a limited sort of way given how hampered this film is by some rather intrusive flaws. First and foremost to my eye -- or more precisely, to my ear -- is miscasting Phoenix as a clown who doesn't quite get the clown-laugh down convincingly; then again, perhaps this was an intentional faux pas (either by Direction or good Acting) in conveying Arthur Fleck's (Joker's) strain and frustration in playing the part of a professional funny man, when his personal life is in ruins. Personally, I found the rendition more ear-hurting and off-color than convincing, but who can say ?

The other quite noticeable bug-a-boo in this deeply disturbing tale is how, once in a while, random elements of older films are deliberately inserted into the action, not so much to enhance the story line but to throw in talking points among viewers. The most recognizable was the choice of Robert Di Niro as TV variety show host Murray Franklin in, for those who can recall, a blatant re-seating of the same star as wannabe show host Rupert Pupkin in 1982's black comedy "The King of Comedy", easily a better and more engaging flick. Tho it may be a facsimile of "Joker"'s intent to date it relative to its setting and scenes' demands, Franklin's jokes and one-liners were awfully lite and minimally funny -- once again a probable counter-play to Fleck's ironic humorous twists, given that he is by this point in the picture revealed as a murderer.

Another example of surreal connection to an earlier cinematic work was when rioting clowns protesting the mayoral campaign of Tom Wayne -- that's right, the father of future crime-fighter Batman -- began chanting something along the lines of "We're mad as hell and won't take it anymore !!" a la 1975's landmark movie "Network" starring Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway. Perhaps this critic is too dense to pick up on some deep significance of this "borrowed" mass quotation, yet all I know is its use was so distracting that it only served as a mild giggle, tending to take away from the built-up drama of the story.

It is understandable the upset many have over the release of this subject matter in a time of firearm mayhem, but what really bothers me is the timing vis-a-vis Halloween. Here's hoping sanity and security prevail, so as not to end up with a Thursday-Bloody-Thursday . . .… Expand

For those of us that do empathize with others; you will feel broken while watching this movie. The depth of sadness, and level of acting Joaquin Phoenix brings to this film may haunt you for weeks. I have been desperate and nearly homeless for a decade of my life. I know the depth of sadness that Arthur Fleck felt before breaking down completely in this film to become The Joker. Life experiences like those portrayed in this film are why suicides in America have skyrocketed. This film is not only important for the perspective it provides, but to reveal those critics in the media that do not appreciate the deeply emotional art of acting at the highest level humanity can achieve. I am glad someone has finally told the story of the forgotten people in society with mental illness, and what monsters we could have become if we lost grip with our humanity and love for others in the process of fighting our inner demons.… Expand
