It was one of the best cinematic experience of my life. The gorgeous cinematography, the haunting score, the swift direction by Todd Phillips and ofcourse the performance of a lifetime by Joaquin made Joker one of the best in this decade.

This is why film critics are no longer relevant, how can they give a film like this a group score of 59? What a Joke! haha

This will be the benchmark of societal commentary for years to come.

The movie touches on numerous sensitive subjects and there were all vital to explain how the character Joker could have come into existence. I assume the reason why people found the film disturbing was because they found themselves slightly sympathizing with the main character and they didn't want it to be so and overcompensated by damming it completely. This movie is lightning in a bottle and true storytelling by Todd Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix and everyone involved. Thank you Warner Bros, for allowing this film to be made; don't mess it up. Expand

I understood that it was taking a different approach, doing it's own thingFrom the pitch trailer where Joaquin Phoenix donned the make up, and the trailers that followed after. Joker easily became one of my most anticipated films of 2019. I understood that it was taking a different approach, doing it's own thing outside of the Extended DC Universe. Reality can be a cruel mistress, along with life not being all sunshine and rainbows. It's unfortunate and sometimes we need movies to help us see that things can get crazier, it's unsettling though brutally beautiful there's no denying that. I'm not glorifying violence, though unfortunately when society, and communities fall. It's bound to happen, it's not going to be a light subject. It's going to be dark, grim, and dirty. Each kill or violent act we can see the madness growing until it reaches it's crescendo. To see the journey towards madness unfold with every inconvenience, every emotional breakdown it's heartbreaking, unpleasant, and it just makes you feel unnerved. Those aren't exactly bad traits for the performances just sell it. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a hauntingly painful display, we can see a broken man just scatter and rebuild into something more sinister. When all hope is lost, what more do you have to give? Zazie Beets as Sophie also did a great job with her role, acting as one of the few hope spots for poor Arthur, and De Niro playing a talk show host who might be a slimeball for his ridicule is no slouch either.

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.

Dark as hell, Joker takes u through the disturbing journey of Arthur Fleck, from being a clown & a wanna be stand- up comedian (with only one joke in his hand.....his life) to become THE "JOKER"......this journey never looked unreal though,Dark as hell, Joker takes u through the disturbing journey of Arthur Fleck, from being a clown & a wanna be stand- up comedian (with only one joke in his hand.....his life) to become THE "JOKER"......this journey never looked unreal though, unlike that of a hulk or a spider man....as this journey was quite human, logical and beautifully graphed and captured(of course) !!!

Heath Ledger from the 'Dark Knight' was my personal favourite joker till date & Joaquin Phoenix took the legacy of Heath to another level altogether.....that laugh, that dance, that sprint, that walk....uff....can't get over that !!!

Talking about the other aspects of the movie....the background music was the soul of the movie, if not the psyche and the madness of joker itself,,,,,the cinematography, the supporting cast, the direction...everything thing was right on money , the movie very smartly dealt with the then situation of America (the Gotham city),,,,,the unemployment, the raising power in the hands of the rich....all it took was a stand and a voice (be it good or bad) against the established power to become the 'HERO'...which further became the reason of the rise in murders & crime in the city !!!

In his small appearance, the legend Robert De Niro was exceptionally awesome, something that u would expect from him everytime u see him on the screen.....that small conversation at the end btwn joker and De Niro was cinematic beauty and looked damn organic....an absolute treat to watch !!!

Don't know about the oscars, but it was once in the lifetime performance by Joaquin Phoenix....and would remain in my heart for years & in my brain for days to come,,,may be.....The best portrayal of a psycho character that i have seen...was that of Christian Bale in 'American Psycho'.....Phoenix was right up there too if not above, not only the craziness, disturbance and madness but also the physical transformation was quite commendable.

!! IF HEATH HAS GIVEN HIS LIFE FOR THE JOKER THEN I WOULD SAY PHOENIX HAS GIVEN A LIFE TO THE JOKER !!

My one of the favourite lines from the movie was...joker saying to himself,,,"I used to think that my life is a TRAGEDY but now i realise that it is nothing but COMEDY"....so, u can imagine how disturbing a movie could be with it's theme being 'TRAGEDY=COMEDY'...but it was not that disturbing for me as i am used to of or aware of the ongoing social-political structure of our country !!!

It has got those 'Dark Knight' (arguably one of the finest superhero movie ever made) vibes...i had an emotional ride, watching small Bruce Wane (Nolan's batman) meeting Joker, getting to know the pre batman story of the Gotham city and the back story or the building-up of the 'Joker the villain' of dark night.....IT WAS QUITE NOSTALGIC FOR ME IN THAT WAY !!!

If i would have maximum of 5 stars to give to this movie, i would have simply divided it by zero (0).....i write about movies all the time but this one has that 'something' that forced me to type and share my views with u guys instead of writing it in my diary.....on that note i would like to finish this review with one line...."THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE IN LAST SEVERAL YEARS THAT I SAW....& U CAN'T CAN'T CAN'T MISS IT" !!!

Brilliant movie mood thanks to the fabuolus music and to elaborate motion of the clown. Dance on stairs and in the loo is far beyond dc universe's or hollywood's nowdays level. I would like to see batman after that!

I personally gave the movie a perfect score based on my appreciation of Joker's inspiration from older films such as "Taxi Driver" and "A Clockwork Orange". This is not an action packed comic film or follow a typical "comic-movie" formula (which is something I loved about it). It's character driven and artistic. If Joaquin Phoenix is not my new favorite Joker, then he's a damn close 2nd to Heath Ledger. Expand

I expected it to appeal to a certain demographic, and it absolutely does. Phoenix's performance is stellar, which I expected given past performances in The Master and You Were Never Really Here, but the plot was predictable. I get it, it's an origin story, but if you stack it up against Ledger's performance, I don't like this Joker at all. It's Taxi Driver if Travis Bickle were a victim of abuse and overt mental illness. It mirrors that movie in many ways, but one thing I'll say for Travis, we didn't have to set him up as this ultimate victim. Unlike Ledger's Joker, a sociopath who would have made this Joker's past a lie to feign victimhood, throwing off his adversaries, Phoenix's Joker is a victim. He's a man with no agency who finds it in a gun. It's the dream of every incel and nutjob who's ever felt they were given a raw deal and finally snapped into a beautiful swan song of violence and retribution. What's truly terrifying about the joker is the mob. Much like Antifa or the alt-right today, the mob is looking for any excuse to be a mob, and they look to this broken man who's only claim to fame is shooting unarmed people (granted, the first time is in defense). It's as if the entire population of disaffected white 20-somethings rallied around Dylan Roof or the guy who shot up the theater in Colorado. Again, Phoenix's performance is legendary and he dives into this character. He is Arthur Fleck, who is a more interesting character to me than the Joker. I don't know if that was the intent of the film, but it kind of undercuts the agency of superheroes/villains. You don't walk away from Joker hating the bad guy. Many walk away on his side. On the side of the mob, where it's far easier to protest and react violently in the face of adversity than it is to actually do the hard work of fixing problems or people. It's the lazy internet route to social change that leaves the same problems covered in a layer of poopy pants that no one realizes how special someone is. In fact, you could rename this Travis Bickle's Afterbirth. Expand

It is exactly like a late night talk show, it is not for everyone, for not everyone can endear the experience, the pain and the laughs.

Joker

Todd Phillips is a magnificent beast. Who'd have thought of that. Although I'd definitely mention my theory that still stands tall and strong. If a director can make a comedy classic with proper execution then it can pull off any heist of any genres with his eyes closed. Take either Adam McKay or Peter Farelly and now join the co-writer and director Todd Phillips's name to that list. Todd's film is, yes, a recurrent display of what you want from this film. It can also be translated as his fandom of this character over the years, that he has finally brought alive. Either way, whenever the film lands our expectations. Good expectations. The film suffers a lot. The script grows tricky for me, whenever the gaps are filled in with what you and the general perception would perceive and the dots that you know are about to come, and have to be a part of this case until it reaches that crime scene.

The film is only troubling in those senses. Another issue could be argued would be that the film doesn't clarify or give answers to all the existent and even questionable elements of the film. If it is an origin, then it should answer every corner of the truth. Should it? Should it, really though? For amidst this train of reckless actions, we forget that this is a comic book film. And just as any comic book story, you are told to believe in something and then move forward. Joker is in its truest form, with complete make up, dyed hair and colored suit, then becomes a comic book character. The consequences are to be determined. And not the reasons.

Not the "whys", but the "what now". And this is why Joker is much more present then Arthur Fleck. When Fleck is lost, the mobile objects in the wide shots are going further and further away. And when Joker shines, those same objects, those same trains returns back home. Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck never looks for the surrounding or outside the vehicle he is in, for he has nothing, no one to look for. And Phoenix as Joker giddily drools over the catastrophe that his choices casts on Gotham city, a significance of his presence, existence. Joker is almost too aptly titled. For the film doesn't focus on any other character. You cannot blame that it is an excuse or justification with an emotionally manipulated track. You are empathetic towards him but that is only because he is the only one you have been with. His is the only appeal you have been hearing. The laugh you have been listening. The jokes you have been questioning. It doesn't matter whether you get it or not.

A masterpiece, but let me explain my vote of 6.

This is an art-film, it has absolutely nothing to do with Batman or Joker. It's crystal clear that they had a script that was ready, but no one was willing to produce it because it's not "superhero movies", so they put the title "Joker" on it and added some Batman backstory.

Joaquin Phoenix is absolutely phenomenal, it's a masterclass in theatre-acting, obviously it's not cinema acting, but who cares.

Photography is insanely good, each scene is perfectly framed to the point of perfection.

I'm giving 6 because it's a shame that such a great movie had to put "Joker" in the title just to pitch the movie to some movie studio manager. It's a real shame and people should not accept it.

Masterpiece and oscar winning performance, shameful actions by production companies, it's unexcusable.

2019's "Joker" is honestly a bit of an enigma, with controversy on one side, acclaim on the other, and a debate as to the film's true messages and quality raging all the while. So as someone who went in with next to no expectations, only a2019's "Joker" is honestly a bit of an enigma, with controversy on one side, acclaim on the other, and a debate as to the film's true messages and quality raging all the while. So as someone who went in with next to no expectations, only a rudimentary knowledge of the background discussion, and a healthy distrust of many of DC's more recent film offerings, what did I think?

I think "Joker" is most-definitely a good film, but not a great one, all down to one fatal flaw. It unfortunately never stops leaping for that mystical "higher bar", the legendary status enjoyed by films like The Dark Knight, and in that eagerness overreaches and kills its true potential. At its most sincere, "Joker" succeeds in being a convincingly fiery crucible to forge such a legendary villain, but especially in the beginning, turns up the heat even more to the point of self-parody.

When we're first dropped onto the dismal-yet-familiar streets of Gotham, the film wastes no time in setting the world against Phoenix's Arthur Fleck, and that over-eagerness was my core issue. There's no buildup, no hope, no sense of potential wasted: Without any world-building or context, Fleck existing just to get beaten down and beaten down is shockingly ineffective, proving the film's priorities are focused on the goal, rather than the beginning. Gangs of bullies and ruthless bosses feel more forced than villainous, transparent mechanisms that exist solely to get the character where he needs to be, rather than to provide the organic descent and societal backdrop we were promised. It feels shallow, and in essence, the film would've benefited from taking its foot of the accelerator for a moment and smelling the roses, because as it stands, "Joker" starts off doing 90 mph in a fifty, and hits you with all the subtlety and depth of a freight train.

However, once the wheels are in motion and Fleck's descent begins, director Todd Phillips and Phoenix are more able to run wild, and this is where the film truly shines. After a shaky opening, the ensuing roller-coaster ride is truly a sight to behold. And why wouldn't it be? Hasn't the Joker always been more effective in the present, did Heath Ledger need a backstory to succeed? No! As we watch both Gotham and Fleck unravel, every revelation and every depraved act comes as a gut-punch, all building up to a live finale that perfectly fits the tone of the film while feeling authentically Joker, and an ending that wisely avoids the expected cliches and ends on a note of glee. Here, the Joker becomes a twisted hero in his own way. It wasn't the success Arthur Fleck had hoped for, but it feels like destiny nonetheless, and by the end all force and stiffness from the start of "Joker's" world fades away into a feeling of chilling plausibility.

So to conclude, I would recommend "Joker" for anyone looking for a fresh take on the classic character. This isn't your typical superhero flick, and while the darkness and violence may be a turn-off for some, it's an experience most will enjoy. It's a film that starts off unconvincingly, but is sure to leave an impact by the end. And with such large clown-shoes to fill, "Joker" more or less reaches the bar.
