It's gonna look even worse in comparison than Dark Phoenix following Logan.
I wonder how many of the people praising Joker after watching it were bitching in the earlier threads about his incel origin. Joker purists mad because it defies canon lol.
Well. It definately wasn't a comic book movie. But I loved it in it's own right as a drama.
He was a great joker -
[/SPOILER]In the end. And when they did the Dark Night Zimmer riffs at the end when Bruce's parents are killed i got chills. Excellent usage of that memorable track there[/SPOILER]
9/10
But with the addendum i don't really feel like it was a comic book movie.
Definately award bait. But award bait I feel is deserved worth the effort.
Yep exactly what i thought.That scene was goooood shit dude
Also the scene with Joker in the police car was like a direct homage to Heath Ledger joker
Yep exactly what i thought.
Also:
His first meeting with Bruce was good too. I felt tension there, usually movies don't do that for me. Like i could feel the destiny between them two in the scene. Which is weird because I don't usually analyze movies like that but..there it is.
Did anyone think it would have been a nice twist for Joker to have killed Bruce Wayne? Precisely because it's a stand alone film and we'll never get to see Batman in this universe (let alone him battling The Joker), so it would have made an interesting alternate turn of events if The Joker had prevented someone like Batman from ever existing without even knowing it. Nice bit of dramatic irony for us, the audience
Warner Brothers would never allow that
Everything that happens in this movie is cliche
Everything that makes the Joker Joker is cliche
There took everything unique about the Joker and made him into your average high school nerd
Phoenix does a good job but it what it is.
Why not? It's an R rated movie
They would never allow the Joker to kill off a young Bruce Wayne. Even for a One off film.
Side Note . I don't get the notion of some retards claiming that Joker will start in Incel violence surge. The character isn't some fucking video game , neckbeard making Dumabass posts . He was a working class dude with a condition that honestly manifested from possible repressed childhood PTSD that is battling inner demons while working in a shitty ass economy and a suport system that actually doing more harm than good. He snapped due to the conditions he was put through which triggers dark resolve he probably had no idea he had .
Minor mini rant since , I thought it was ridiculous that there were cops making rounds in the theaters bullet proof vest ad all . The goddamn media is to blame for that hysteria . That said I was packing , since they don't have metal detectors there anyways
This Joker is actually a CTE Joker
He suffered repeated blows to the head his entire life
Phoenix craps in ledgers mouth in terms of acting performance. He gets the oscar if there us any honesty left.Pheonix is good but....not Oscar-worthy imo
I feel like Ledger was not necessary better but more memorable
Considering how many people have voted 10/10, I think this movie is highly overrated
This is a 7.5/10 type movie
