This movie majestically portrays how madness can eat up one's head. Joaquin Phoenix has truly mesmerised the audiences with his performance in depicting the protoganist of this dark slow burn. One of the best movies of 2019....

One thing i loved about the movie was not only the character and his whole story, but also the amazing soundtrack which was composed by the same artist that created the music for Chernobyl series.

I was completely blown away with this movie and it left me wanting for more. I will return to the cinema next week, i need to watch it again. What an absolute masterpiece.… Expand

This movie is exactly what i wanted to a Joker movie, it's uncomfortable (in a good way), it's acid and it's shocking, all of this are not just things for the sake of "impact", it's exactly what a story about Joker should be. Joaquim PhoenixThis movie is exactly what i wanted to a Joker movie, it's uncomfortable (in a good way), it's acid and it's shocking, all of this are not just things for the sake of "impact", it's exactly what a story about Joker should be. Joaquim Phoenix perfomance is phenomenal, it's the first time i saw someone laughing and crying at the same time, the way that you can feel the pain in his laughter it's truly mindblowing, here we see Arthur (his character) expressing all kinds of emotion, from anger to happinnes, from sorrow to confusion, and so on, the movie was made for him and we couldn't had a better Joker than Joaquim. The nods to old movies like: Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy (both of Scorsese) are really interesting and they never felt forced to me, it has everything to do with that whole "character study" that Joker masterfully achieves. That movie is like a rollercoaster, it's start kinda of slow but when the moment comes it has that habilty to make you feel on the edge of your seat. The story construction was pretty well made as well, it makes sense that the poor people are upset about the situation of the city, it makes sense that they see Joker as a symbol, this is not saying where they are right or wrong, it just brings the consequences of a sick society, the same circustamces that made a mentally-ill person at a dangerous psychopat who laughs of the tragedy he's been trough. For me it's a masterful example of how you should make a Origin story, that's why i think this movie is a instant classic and a masterpiece.


It's a shame that a movie like Joker isn't get the praise that it deserves for the critics, that's why nobody cares about them anymore, people are much more interested to see opinions from guys the people who are up-voting this movie than a person that is much more concerned to try to put political agenda in his analisis instead of view the movie as a art.… Expand

Don't let the critics scores influence you, the media wants this movie grounded, they're trying to kill its reputation.

But in reality, Joker is a masterpiece, an acting masterclass, beautifully written and directed drama.

It reeks of property cash in and that's what destroys the possibility for this being a great movie... that and the writersThis movie fell short of its potential, held back by a desperate attempt to push the story into the world of Gotham. It reeks of property cash in and that's what destroys the possibility for this being a great movie... that and the writers don't seem to understand character Arthur as they can't keep his profile straight. This COULD have been a masterpiece but they demolished everything they created with a search and replace of a dark grim reality with the words "Gotham", "Wayne", and "Joker". So it results with a rating of "yeah that was a movie" instead of "wow what a statement".

Everyone has their opinion of what this movie "is" but I'm going to tell you it's not about mental health, it's not about the character the Joker or the world of DC, it's not about an incel, and it's definitely not about social inequality. This is not your hero. It's not deep, it's not riveting, and it barely scratches the surface of what it's attempting.

This is failed character development in a movie that went from amazing to what the heck am I watching 50 minutes in. This movie was about making money. Plain and simple. The story is convoluted and confused. It NEEDS to be part of the DC universe and that is actually what ruins it. Reality is far more grim than Gotham and that alone pulls away any impact this movie had.

For an "origin story" the movie spends only 10ish minutes establishing who Arthur is, only to completely pivot away from that and demolish his character with decisions he would never make. It abandons the plot of his own character for a tie-in with Thomas Wayne repeatedly, which feels forced and unwanted. If you cut out all of the Gotham references and change the ending it would be a much better film, but it would have made less than half the money and not had a gaggle of fanboys drooling over it for two years.

Is this movie worth watching? Sort of. It's not "good" because of everything I mentioned and the script is just not great. It gets mental health completely wrong. It has bad character development. Literally nothing makes sense and no one in this movie has any importance or relevance outside of Arthur, who the movie establishes as two maybe even three different characters. It falls way short of establishing social equity and the importance of humanism.

Anyone giving this over an 8 is merely grasping at the straws meant to build this into a failed version of the DC character Joker. Anyone actually analyzing this movie and the characters for what they are would rate this below a 7. It's bad writing. It's bad character development. The plot is convoluted. It's a cash in. Most of all it's an art house film trying to be mainstream that doesn't know it is badly written. Todd Phillips knows how to do one thing right, make money off of stupid people. His history of movies definitely proves that.

In the end this movie will get undeserved awards for all of the wrong reasons and critically acclaimed for a sad reach that writers need to be liked and get clicks. In the end this was not a great movie and it will be forgotten and left behind. I think the fact it's getting a sequel actually proves this is a cash-in and not worth your time. This should have made its statement, should have been a real world not a fictional one, and it should have been left there.

Joker can be summed up in one word I went to over and over again

And usually, I give more positive reviews on things than negative. I am easily forgivable for the occasional bad movie, but this one was a movie I had to clear my conscious of. I didn't want all the press and early reviews to cloud my judgment on what I PERSONALLY thought of the film. So after seeing it, what do I think? I believe the hype. It's a true modern day masterpiece that deserves all the praise it gets and none of the hate from naysayers. Phoenix gives a performance that rivals Ledger's and brings something never before seen to the comic book world. Todd Phillips has proven that he no longer needs the frat-boy comedies and that the world of dramas is where he thrives best. Lawrence Sharr, the man behind the cinematography, has brought to life some of the most gorgeous shots I have ever personally seen, even rivaling Roger Deakins from Blade Runner 2049. The score by Hildur is ecstatic and terrifying to listen to. I really love this movie, from its story -- while familiar -- fits within the world that has been established, to the acting FROM EVERYBODY, to the greater themes of bad days, society, and madness itself. It's sad to say that we will never get another look into the world of Joker because this movie left me wanting more, and that's a truly amazing thing for a movie to do. If it leaves you wanting more, then it did its job. Joker is a masterpiece, a true statement on the culture of cinema, and I hope that everyone who receives a nomination wins it, because this movie deserves it. And for the love of God, send in the clowns. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. HA HA HA. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!… Expand

There is a pity for hateful people. I cried five minutes before the movie started, although it may be that my own lacrimal gland is too developed.

I cried five minutes before the movie started, although it may be that my own lacrimal gland is too developed. But as a person, when I see this society in the picture, this may be a society in the movie or a real life, and start to feel sad for those who need help.

What are the conditions that make you think you can bully people?
Who is deciding who's death is more worthy of being pity.
The scene at Talkshow can be said to be the core concept of the film, completely bringing the existence of Joker and the morbidity of society to the table.
What everyone is not willing to face is the person who called the indifference, so he chose to blame the murder, but he did not think that he was one of the murderers who led to the birth of the murderer.
When he becomes Joker, you and I , The Society gives him a hand.

Today, through the story, we watched the birth of a person who needed warmth and was cast aside by society, a person who was originally kind but was fooled and collapsed.
It is not Arthur that is wrong, but the indifferent people of this society and those who think they are clever and bully.
In contrast to Batman, I feel that Arthur is a flesh and blood. It’s not spoiled here.

At the end of the movie, I still vaguely remember what Arthur said. "Please...don’t...i really love my job..." Writing this eyelids began to turn red again. It is not difficult to imagine how much a person will be disappointed when he simply wants to bring laughter to the world, but is ridiculed and used by the world. You really can go see "Joker" After reading it, I just want to talk to everyone around me. Don't be indifferent to the people around you. Even if he is sick, he is very strange, and don't abandon him. Because you may be able to save it before the world changes. I don't want to talk too much here, because I know that film reviews or experiences will affect the shock and the point of entry for a person. If you see something else or have any feelings, go to the movies and taste! I just want to say after reading it. If I were Harleen Quinzel, I would probably also become Harley Quinn by listening to Joker's story. I am so distressed by Arthur and I feel bad for Arthur's kindness.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A dark movie in every way. Folks that are bombing on it see this and it frankly depresses them and robs them of hope. After seeing it, I left the theater knowing what the Joker may have been feeling, likewise depressed and hopeless. The gaps left in the Jokers life story before we come to where he has arrived in the movie are easy enough to fill in just because it's the same sad story we have played witness to on the web and in the news for decades now. It's a cruel, cruel world indeed. A movie with a message many folks have obviously already tuned into. It asks if maybe we should all buckle up, this could become a bumpy ride. Thought provoking for sure!… Expand

Anyway, Joker is brilliant, even though an overused saying it is a piece of art. Phoenix's interpretation is fresh, immersive and utterly engaging. If you're a fan of the character, see the film. If you're not, still see the film. An honest 9/10 - I think (in a non spoilery way) that if instead of the film ending where it did, if it had an extra 15-20 mins then it would be a 10 from me, considering the contents of the final act.… Expand

If a comic book was sung in the style of a dark Russian novel it would sound like Joker. Goodbye CG DC Marvel super cast movies for the cognitively impaired. Embrace the suck.

Its not what you would expect and i feel like a lot of people will be upset about how different it is than most comic book movies. In fact its not really a comic book movie, its more of a drama if anything. Tie ins with the Waynes and GothamIts not what you would expect and i feel like a lot of people will be upset about how different it is than most comic book movies. In fact its not really a comic book movie, its more of a drama if anything. Tie ins with the Waynes and Gotham are pretty awesome because it sets the stage so i enjoyed that as a comic book fan. 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

This movie is very good, filmed in an European Style. This is not a blockbuster with special effects, it is about a man's drama. Joaquin Phoenix is for me The Joker. Great performance

I'm a huge Batman fan and the Dark Knight movie and Heath Ledger's Joker were undisputed at the top of the list of cinema portrayals and Joaquin Phoenix and Todd Phillips stole the title handily. I think this is the best portrayal of the Joker and absolutely told a great story about how the crown prince of crime came to be.

Set in the early 80’s this is essentially (as the title suggests) a stand alone origin story for Batman’s most famous foe ‘The Joker’. Despite the comic book inspiration however this really has more in common with Scorsese movies like Taxi Driver or King of Comedy in the way it provides an intense character study into one mans battle with mental illness.

With a brilliant lead performance from Joaquin Phoenix ‘Joker’ makes for a captivating watch and is one of those movies that people will be talking about for years to come. The only disappointment is we won’t see this version of The Joker on the big screen again...… Expand

It is not an "enjoyable" movie, other than a few very dark jokes.... But it is very well done, Phoenix brings it; amazing acting. The movie really makes you think in many ways, and certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Bruce Wayne gets mentioned and my eyes roll. Should have been about a guy who embraces his inner clown after losing his job. Would have been more interesting because as it stands it feels like it sticks to the source material for the Joker and as a result I lost interest. The early parts of the movie are definitely the best. It sort of hovers between Taxi Driver and Batman. Can't decide whether it wants to be a serious movie or a comic book movie.… Expand

An incredible piece of art about our lack of empathy and its consequences. Explaining where violence may come from doesn't equate to justifying it. If the movie parallel's real life so much, it's not the movie we should be criticizing.

How easily pleased have people become? When a ‘major’ movie is this simplistic and obviously just another copy of many other overrated downers – it leaves someone needing to explain how this nonsense then goes on to rate a ridiculous 11 OscarHow easily pleased have people become? When a ‘major’ movie is this simplistic and obviously just another copy of many other overrated downers – it leaves someone needing to explain how this nonsense then goes on to rate a ridiculous 11 Oscar nominations? Who can truly take the Oscars seriously any longer? Joker is a typical super-ugly, comic book R Rated serial killer story - which grinds its endless way through non-stop, grotesque situations of the most maudlin kind. We’ve already seen this character (somewhat over-played by Phoenix) far too many times in the past. Even the dark, sleazy settings don’t invite interest, and has left many viewers wanting it all to end quickly but no, it drags on for over two hours, feeling painfully more like three. Then there’s the casting of an over-used De Niro, intended to help capitalise on some of those ‘gangster- obsessed’ Scorsese offerings. Many paid to see this over-hyped lowbrow tosh, expecting to experience a masterpiece - only to wish they could get back their time and money for better use. If uninspired morbidity is your thing, you’ll get a bellyful – otherwise, stay well away and watch this junk fade into the obscurity it deserves, hopefully, along with the copycat movie makers. The final images this movie creates of carnage on the streets of America, looks more like the sorry, robotic BLM mayhem that’s reducing the USA to a decaying mess. Just what the CCP and others would be quite happy to see – Civil War. Such a pitiful shame and a sick joke.… Expand

I felt sorry for Arthur Fleck for most of the movie, but in the end he became the scary and inhuman Joker. I didn't find this movie violent, in fact the violent scenes are raw and well filmed. I feel sick for ideological critics who see politics in everything and think this movie can have a bad influence. **** Art is not intended to moralize anyone.

Hands down the greatest acting performance and perhaps movie I’ve ever seen. Do not listen to the “safe space” critics that think this movie is a giant dog whistle for Donald Trump. This movie is a masterpiece in the same league as Taxi Driver. The movie received a standing ovation here in Thailand. Considering that most of the audience was reading subtitles, that’s pretty amazing.

This Joker movie embodies the ethos of "cheerful nihilism" / “Clown World”. Clown World is the idea that the world is becoming more and more like a grotesque freakshow, with degeneration on various fronts becoming worse (social, political, racial, etc.). Instead of bearing the emotional burden of what some believe is the multi-faceted downturn of society, "honk honk" "Put on your smiley face" "Why so serious?" represents the option of cheerful nihilism, where one acknowledges the world's absurdity but decides to laugh and make fun of it. "Why get riled up when none of it matters anyways?" “I thought my life was a tragedy, then I realized it was a comedy” says the Joker.… Expand
