It’s drawn out pacing is perfect as it doesn’t feel too long or too short.

"Joker" is a unique masterpiece in so many ways. I am absolutely blown away by the acting, music, cinematography, script, makeup, and the whole feel this movie has. It's dark, sad and very realistic. It does a great job at showing the viewer, a story of a troubled mind, and answers the question "What if the joker lived in our world. How would he have gotten there. What could push a person so far out, and hate society so much".
The scary thing is, you can really relate to his journey.
Wonderful job everyone on the team of this movie.
And kudos to DC Comics for daring to make this movie.
Thank you.… Expand

The film is an ominous take on the origin of the famous DC villain, The Joker. The film is a spectacular display of mental illness, violence and societal divide. But at its core what makes the film so amazing is Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of The Joker. His eerie performance makes you sympathise with his character but at the same time chastise the decisions he makes as he descends into insanity. The combination of Todd Phillips's Martin Scorsese inspired direction and Joaquin Phoenix's outstandingly realistic performance really make this film something to behold.

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.

My Rating:7.5/10… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "All I have are negative thoughts"
A masterpiece. It's brilliant. Exceptional. Bla, bla, bla.
If I were to cover the full scope of this movie's brilliance you'd be here all night. First of all my problems with some people's criticism of the film:

Over the top violence???!!! Yeah, nah. What absolute BS, clearly Deadpool and Game of Thrones exist in a difference universe. So you think it will cause mass violence or people who are messed up to get what? More messed up? Yeah well you should have thought of that crap 50 years ago. And let's just forget about movies like the Shining or Silence of the Lambs. Yeah, The Joker is going to be absolutely detrimental to society, cause shootings, oh no, ban the film - eat my arse. The media is just encouraging people to do something stupid by bringing that sort of drivel to everyone's attention. Not the Joker, the media is far more detrimental to society than anything else. Unfortunately it's impossible to have an entirely objective media entity without bias. Well that rant went on for a while, what was I talking about?

Ahh yeah, what's great about the film:

Holy crap Joaquin Pheonix is a bloody legend, his performance as Arthur Fleck in his transition from slightly mentally f***ed dude to majorly mentally f***ed dude (i.e. The Joker) is impeccable. His portrayal of The Joker is definitely on even terms with Heath's, and Heath created the best villain any superhero movie has ever done. Rest In Peace Heath Ledger. The way in which the film connected Arthur to the Wayne family and specifically Bruce by creating a mystery around Arthur's parentage was extemely well done. If only Todd and his crew were willing to connect this Joker to The Batman in later films, because they set the scene for that possibility quite perfectly, unfortunately that notion is all f**kery. Robert Pattinson, surely you can't do anything worse than Affleck or Clooney, but I've seen Twilight. However, I also agree that you could make a really good Bruce Wayne and Batman. See you in 2021.

Ok, Arthur's laugh was mind-blowing, and the Joker laugh is hard to do well (I've tried); especially if you're going for it at a new angle, Pheonix's laugh both gave me the creeps and made me crack up at certain points during the film. Honestly, that scene where he's watching the stand-up comedy, but he laughs out of time with the audience, and at the most unfunny lines that are only part of the build up to the actual punchline. Bloody hilarious. Yeah, my favourite scene in the movie I reckon. You might say that it was an insignificant scene, but it does a really fine job of depicting Arthur's detachment to other people and society in general.

The dark humour is crafted expertly. At least I think so; at my cinema I felt like me and my mate were the only ones laughing throughout the film. Everyone else must just have been wonder-struck at how good the film was. Arthur's dancing is simply sublime, and I'm not kidding; him busting a move in a public bathroom after he just busted the s**t out of three wankers on a train again did an excellent job of exploring his minor psychological issues. What more can I say, oh yeah, hehehe. Dwarf. I was sort of shocked when he killed that dude, Randall, I'm not absolutely sure why in cosideration. But when the Gary couldn't reach the latch, I laughed a bit guiltily. Arthur Fleck: I don’t want you to worry about money, mom. I mean, everybody’s telling me that my standup’s ready for the big clubs.
Penny Fleck: But what makes you think you could do that?
Arthur Fleck: What do you mean?
Penny Fleck: I mean, don’t you have to be funny to be a comedian?

Hahaha, So good, so good....

I wanna talk about his facial expressions, the riots the were invoked by his supposed "vigilante" actions, and his therapy sessions. But I don't have enough time, so here the last thoughts.

That moment when he eccentuated the smile and red paint on his face with his blood whilst amongst his supporters was golden. His face, sorry, fate is sealed and he is now The joker.

His speech and killing Murray on the talk show. Quite satisfying, Murray's talk show was great symbolism of a problem in society. Murray wants to find dirt on you, other people will find it funny, takes it much too far, Murray doesn't give a s**t Arthur kills him. The twist of him only imagining his relationshop with Sophie.
The Ending Scene - grim, yet amusing.
I didn't look to closely in to theme, plot devices, and whatnot, but there are plenty of other opinion pieces that talk about that stuff.

I'm really looking forward to what becomes of Arthur Fleck. 10/10

Oh, no. I forgot to punch out… Expand

Joker is a fantastic film and a fantastic comic book film. Although the film is great, there are a small handful of issues. Unfortunately, most of those issues are spoiler related so I can’t talk about them. The one I can talk about is that the film does sometimes borrow a little too much from the films it is inspired by, Taxi Driver (1976) and The King of Comedy (1983). If you have seen either of those films and watch Joker then you will know what I am talking about. Other than that and my spoiler related issues, the film is almost perfect. Joaquin Phoenix does a phenomenal job as the Joker. You can barely recognize that it is him because he just disappears into this role. The way Joaquin Phoenix shows this slow downfall of his character is incredible. Robert De Niro also does a fantastic job with his limited role. He’s cold, calculating, and manipulative and it’s perfect. The sequence of events that the film portrays is perfect. It doesn’t quickly get to the “Joker” but spends most of the film showing the slow downfall of his character. The film does this to perfection. This film is incredibly dark. There are multiple moments in the film that your jaw just drops at what happens. The film uses violence to its advantage. The scenes where it is used in adds to the already huge amount of tension that has been built up which leads me to my next point, Joker is incredibly tense. There are multiple moments where events are slowly building up and you are just on the edge of your seat waiting for the climax of that scene and when it happens, it feels super satisfying. The score for this film is amazing also. Hildur Guðnadóttir has so many outstanding compositions that adds to the tension and gives us an insight into Arthur’s mind. The cinematography is surprisingly really good. It always provides a way to show us how Arthur is feeling while also getting other necessary shots. Joker is a film that has to be experienced on its own. Ignore the controversy behind it and try not to pay too much attention to the critic reviews. You have to see the film and depending on how you feel the film portrays issues like violence and mental illness will determine if you like it or not. Overall, Joker is exactly what comic book films needed with a breathtaking performance from Joaquin Phoenix and an interesting, dark, and realistic approach into an iconic character. I give Joker a 9.5/10.… Expand

While it is not for everyone, this was such an entertaining movie. Everybody is taking it so literally, but remember it is a comic book origin story not a biography.

It is an incredible piece of art that portrays how if society constantly neglects or beats someone down they can become a monster. The acting is incredible , it is shot fantastically and one thing I didn't hear many talk about but I personally thought was brilliant was the soundtrack. There is very few scenes of violence in this movie but when it happens it stings and makes you go ''jesus'' ....is does not romanticise violence or make it seem like an answer to a problem at all. To the contrary it makes you lose your sympathy for Arthur Fleck's struggle's in life, which to me, is the best possible way violence could be used in as realistic a movie as this. Ignore the critics, this film is incredible, comic book fan or not.… Expand

Throughout most of the movie, I forgot I was watching a comic book movie. Make no mistake, thisHaving seen Joker a second time, I can confirm that this movie is a character study filled with strong performances that drip off of the screen. Throughout most of the movie, I forgot I was watching a comic book movie. Make no mistake, this is an incredibly timely, hard hitting drama that has a lot to say without being overly political.

To address the controversy surrounding this film: this movie is not a glorification of incel culture at all. To make that claim is disingenuous at best. I find it hard to believe that anyone would walk out of this movie and think that Arthur Fleck is a hero. However, the movie dares you to feel empathy for him, and I definitely did. Joker really paints a bleak picture of a society that treats the suffering, mentally ill poor like garbage, and then shows apathy when violence does break out.

On that note, the violence in this film is not overly gorey, but it is extremely realistic, and this is not a movie for the faint of heart. In addition to the very real violence, this movie is a story of a deeply disturbed man who has an increasingly more terrifying psychotic breakdown over the film's two hour runtime. Joaquin Phoenix is terrifying to behold, and he gives one of the best performances I have seen all year. People will not soon forget his scary performance, and I think he will stand proudly beside the likes of Heath Ledger and Mark Hamill when it comes to great Jokers.

As far as the script, it's pretty darn good. It weaves a nuanced, complex argument about mental illness and classism. This story dares the audience to examine their own treatment of the mentally ill in their lives, and whether or not we really care about them. This movie is brave enough to ask whether our societal apathy is responsible for people going off the deep end and committing gruesome crimes. From a cinematography stand point, the camera work and shot structure is hideously immaculate. It constructs a really dirty, scummy underbelly of a city with striking beauty.

The soundtrack is great. The music always comes from the world of the movie, and the use of Frank Sinatra is just terrifying to hear. It's very inventive, and I enjoyed pretty much the entire score.

My only two qualms with the movie are that it is a very, very on-the-nose take on Taxi Driver, and that it is a slow burn. If you do decide to see this movie, it is well worth the slow burn, and you will find that this is a movie that demands multiple viewings, and one that will haunt you to the core.… Expand

This movie is an absolutely fantastic character study, and anybody who thinks it's confused about the plot is trying to watch a different movie altogether. Joaquin Phoenix pulls off an incredible portrayal of the Joker, one that is at once faithful to the character and yet as unique in its way as Ledger's was. If I'm being nit-picky, I have issues with the one scene where Joker pontificates towards the end, it seemed superfluous and slightly discordant, but takes away nothing from the massive accomplishment that this movie represents. It's deeply indebted to Alan Moore for this versio of the Joker's origin, and viewers should always remember that there is no 'definitive' Joker, or at least that question won't be settled until DC releases The Three Jokers! In straying away from the DCU, both in style and in substance, this movie is easily one of the best DC-based movies you'll watch this decade.… Expand

It's a well-made character study movie of someone suffering from mental issues caused by mental health and society alike. So don't expect an action-packed movie, but a slow "character growth" (more likely regress) movie, but one that is surprisingly well-paced most of the time to not get boring.

Joachim's performance is amazing, to a point in the movie where the character becomes more self-absorbed and confident and you can almost say it's a different actor playing the role. I've heard some calling his acting exaggerated, it's certally not, at least not in the majority of scenes. (the movie does a subtles, yet kinda smart trick where some scenes are from the main characters' POV and not the actual real POV of all the other characters; this is done with a subtle reveal near the climax of the movie)

It's a gritty depressing movie, but there are a lot darker, violent and depressing titles than this one, to a point I'm starting to believe American media has a serious problem by calling this movie controversial. There's nothing controversial about this one, the Joker is not glorified nor blamed, he is just shown as he is (as a good movie should do), the movie does not force a point of view letting the viewer draw a conclusion (as a good movie should do).

The directing and cinematography are very good. There are scenes that look so great visually and evoke a specific feeling very well. The soundtrack is spot on.

You definitely have to see this movie. But go in with patience, it's not a movie to digest when tired or bored.… Expand
