¡Un film único! Realmente es electrizante. Tanto la interpretación excepcional de Joaquin Phoenix como la dirección de Todd Phillips. Una de las películas del año. Y seguro que de nominaciones a los Oscars de 2019.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An origin story for the joker that in a weirdly successful way manages to include aspects that remind you of both Ledger and Romero (as surprising as this may be). Much more serious than the recent comic book movies, but does not go into that "brooding for the sake of brooding" phase. Provides a complicated view of mental illness (for a movie, obviously),

The ending is my only (minor) gripe. It could have ended on TV zoom-out scene.

Pheonix was magnificent, De Niro also gave a great performance (for real, not just compared to Dirty Grandpa). Zazie Beetz is also fantastic.… Expand

Joker is everyFunny how critics will praise exploitative trash but when a realistic, hard hitting film like this comes out they shy away from it just because it makes them uncomfortable. Yes this is hard viewing, but it's supposed to be. Joker is every person you've ever ridiculed, every person with mental illness you've stared at funny on the bus and judged. This is a harrowing account of how people really feel in our society, taken to an extreme of course, but this is really where we're headed if our politics don't change along with the scapegoating and shunning of those are less fortunate or different in a way that scares us. Critics call it cynical. I say, wake up, take a look outside. Sure its not all awful, but this is a dramatisation of a very real phenomenon. It begs us all to be a little nicer to each other and acts as a stark warning of what can happen when people aren't heard or seen. A powerful film. I just hope we don't see any copycat crimes. This is the only thing that scares me. I'm surprised this film was allowed to made at all, but glad it was… Expand

Something so deeply unsettling, visceral, and yet impossible to turn away from. So mind-searingly horrific, yet deeply emotional and thematically resonant. So incredibly well-crafted and performed that I honestly cannot help but include it among my favorites for the entire year. I mean, look around. You can't swing a cat without striking someone with thoughts on this movie and its meanings/implications for our times. For all of this to emanate from a movie based on a comic book character honestly amazes me in the best way, no matter how exhausting some of the discussions have become. In an age where every comic book film is compared to and contrasted with every other iteration from its own canon, other canons, etc., I totally understand why there's a fatigue that's come about in response to it all. But here comes Todd Phillips (I'm honestly still having a hard time believing that he's the filmmaker behind this thing) with a mold-breaking, crowd-censuring treatise on everything that's wrong with our understanding of the downtrodden -- one that I feel still very elegantly straddles the line between doing this and absolutely holding the antiheroic antics of the protagonist to a standard of personal responsibility. It's a high-wire act of nerve-frying narrative choices, incredible cinematography, moral pyrotechnics, a performance that's honestly career-defining, and the Batman mythos. And it roundly accomplishes what it sets out to do. It warns. It scars. It contextualizes a world we all thought we understood in a way we could have never imagined.

I love this. I love this and I know it's a movie that doesn't love me back.

There's no doubt in my mind that, as a comic book movie, this has to be the greatest undertaking any creative team has ever had to assume, especially considering all the implications and discourses that the film's spawned. The creators knew the conversations that this movie was going to create and were undeterred and unafraid. I applaud them for it.… Expand

This was a near perfect movie. Great acting, story cinematography, score, etc. This is a great super villain origin story. Further proof WB is at least somewhat getting it's act together. Bonus points for keeping it R rated.

Una obra de arte de calidad. Una magnífica interpretación de Phoenix en una película desmarcada del género de superhéroes y villanos. Quizás por eso logra destacarse. Es la mejor adaptación de un personaje de cómic que se ha hecho.

This movie surely slipped under the studio's radar. Almost like they knew it was a gamble and green-lit total creative freedom. Fantastic! The soundtrack, both original and licensed, the setting, the pacing, the scene composition, the dialog and the story were all excellent. I'm not sure the actor was the best fit for Joker, but he did a great job regardless. He hit the somber lows really well, and the lows were necessary fuel for the Joker's highs that he performed satisfactorily. There was still slight room for improvement, but not enough to push it out of the 10/10 slot: the movie could have ended 5 minutes earlier and been more subtle in a few places, almost like the director is asking "Did you get it? Let me explain it for some of you", but overall, this goes well beyond expectations for a comic book movie.

Now give Watchmen the same treatment!… Expand

Nothing short of a masterpiece. There is no point in comparing Joaquin Phenix to Heath Ledger, both had their on take on the character and the movies are vastly different.
But nonetheless, this is one of the greatest performances captured on film.

I spent my entire viewing unable to look away, all while trying to dig myself further into the back of my seat. The movie plays with the edge of what is relatable, with a society, and city that feels real enough it could just maybe exist. Which makes the story so damn believable its terrifying to watch.

I also loved Christopher Nolan's first two Dark Knight movies as well as Tim Burton's take on the character. This movie however elevates Bob Kane and Bill Finger's creation to an entirely new dimension. With obvious comparisons to Martin Scorsese's classic gritty movies of the 1970's (Taxi Driver especially), Joker is simply stunning. A scary, jaw-dropping and unflinching delve into madness, seen through the eyes of Arthur Fleck, played to utter perfection by Joaquin Phoenix. Don't listen to the hyper-ventilated hysteria surrounding the movie, just go and watch this masterwork of perfection. 10/10.… Expand

The movie is well acted, really well acted so credit should be given there. It was a bit overlong and dragged at points but the 3rd act somewhat made up for that. Its worth watching although it doesn't necessarily need to be watched ASAP in theaters, i would have been fine watching it on netflix later. Second viewing...Its even better on the second viewing, i might go see it a third time. Its def worth a watch so go see it lol… Expand

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.
