If you have seen JOKER, how would you rate it?

yeah, leto's joker is a joke in comparison, pun intended.
joaquin did some phenomenal stuff in this movie.
he is getting that oscar, for sure.
not the movie, cause politics, but the role, come on
 
I know Joaquin doesnt really obsess over money ........ anyonyone think he could refuse the truck load they are about to throw at him to do a sequel.

My ideal would be a trilogy

2nd film dealing with him meeting Harley Quinn as his therapist n his escape

3rd flick I he is in full clown prince mode.
 
Wow, what a movie. Acting, character development.... everything was perfect. One of the best movies I've seen in quite some time.
 
I wanted to compare this film with the dark knight.

But after thinking about it. I think both joker performances are very different. So while i get why they are compared, i think it's a bit unfair to compare them as well.

Joker focused on his origin, upbringing, and ultimately his decent into madness. By the end of the film, he had just turned into the joker. And dare i say that he still has more growing to do as the joker character for us to fully see the madman he will become.

With the dark knight, we see an established joker in his full fledged joker persona. He was a very intimidating villain. I guess i would compare it to reaching max character level in a game.

If both jokers were to go against each other, no doubt in my mind that ledger wins 9/10 times. Simply because he has the experience and cunning that phoenix's joker doesn't yet have.

Anyway, that's just what i think. I thought Joker (2019) was incredible. DC really needed a win here. Joaquin Phoenix is such a great actor. I really hope he wins the oscar for this. Who is he going up against?



i'm rating the film 9.5/10

From what I have been reading, and this might be a little shocking, Phoenix's main competition is going to be Adam Driver and his performance in Marriage Story
 
They could have made this movie for 20 million.. But the studio offered more so they took it and are fantastic catering every day.

I think he's one and done. This seemed like a passion project and Joaquin isn't at the Johnny Depp stage of his career, yet.

When I saw it some dude a few seats over sitting by himself spent 5 mins rifling through a backpack. Everyone around him was super tense waiting to make sure he didn’t pull out a gun. Strange times.

I had a somewhat similar experience. A guy wearing an overcoat, gloves and tie simply stood behind us for one or two minutes just looking at the screen before the film had begun. My date noticed that too and said he looked strange. I was ready to either hide somewhere or try to stop him somehow. Nothing happened but it seemed like an eternity until he sat down.

Sounds like Phoenix is open to it and according to him Todd had enough enthusiasm to keep shooting at the time, at least. WB and DC would be crazy if they wouldn't want to cash in on a sequel. There is also a lot of source material they can use as inspiration for a sequel. So, IMO, a sequel is not very unlikely.

Yeah, Phoenix wasn't on the cringelord juice that Leto was.
He said he had fun shooting this movie and seemed open to doing another if the script was right

what police state do you live in?

There's no security at my movie theatre,

they actually used to allow back packs all over l.a county before that colorado shooting I did it since maybe 2001. I actually think it has nothing to do with any of California laws it is all the theaters own policies. some theaters like AMC,edwards,regal let you do the stadium security thing where you bring in a clear bag. cinemark has the strictest security here.


personally it is not great of security they still have all the exits open a shooter could just walk in one of those easily.


if they actually wanted to have people be secure they could have security like a courthouse and armed guards.
