The joker review

I’m not quite sure what to think of this movie, it was a tough watch, lots of craziness, the joker played by Joaquin Phoenix, he was extremely crazy there were points where I was like that’s funny ha ha but wait now that’s sad but and then wait it’s funny ha ha. Dude laughed uncontrollably when you shouldn’t laugh I was like what the heck is going on here. I’ve always been a big fan of the Batman movies but this joker he was really freaking crazy, Lots of bad stuff happens to regular people like bullies and such and this was kind a like the bullied guy gets revenge. I spoke this review into my phone as I am preparing to go to bed (my boss has worked me like a Hebrew slave for 2 straight weeks). Hope you enjoyed. Later BC.

Excellent review without giving away anything about the plot or ending.

You have a boss

I give this review a 0/5 for not having any kind of scoring system

good

Joaquin Phoenix is awesome. I dont follow actors and such but he is one who I give props to...hes damn good. Him and Robert Downey Jr. Those guys are good.

You need to pm Derek, you are not doing this right.

3.5 out of 5 weird clown faces. Movie was very dark and the acting was tremendous. Left me with a meh feeling.

Is it really that hard to give a proper review? Come on guys. Get it together.

I don't want to come out of a movie I just paid $30+ for(ticket, popcorn, etc) and feel like Meh. I want to be excited, thrilled, calm, looking forward to the next in the series etc. NOT MEH. We already have enough dark movies out. Don't need another one to give ideas to the sicko's of this world.

Personally my review is easy,...2 Thumbs down. I go to the movies to be entertained, I was not.
My wife and I almost walked out, but kept saying something has to get good sooner or later,...The best part was the previews.

Sounds like a turd

just came in
too much smoking
too long
too vague
but OK

also
he is a good dancer
&
there is
semi - protest
about social issues

Did you catch the parts of the movie where it was just his imagination and not reality, like when the guy gave him the gun, and also his imaginary girlfriend.

I enjoyed the movie

I got most of the imagination stuff. What makes you lean towards the guy giving him the gun as imaginary?
But now that you mention it, anything good that happened, was his imagination.
Incredible acting job.
I like it better, after letting it sink in.

the smoking made me nervous
& how did he pay for all those smokes

my wife said to chill
its a movie

Early in the movie it showed his buddy giving him the gun in a sack for protection, later in the movie someone saw him buying the gun.

i am going to watch again
i missed that

I liked it.. especially the part on the talk show and the subway
Dang, he had to bathe his naked old mom,.no wonder he was nuts

Man you didn't give a spoiler alert. Derek! Help 'em out Pops!

there is no spoiler

Tough movie to watch, in my opinion. Very dark. Very troubling take on society, albeit a true, but small, portion of society. Joaquin Phoenix did an amazing job, but not a movie I will watch more than once.

Heath Ledger best Joker ever.

Not worth the price of admission........nor a bucket of popcorn and DP

After seeing the the promo I lost interest quickly

He will win the Oscar, easily. And I don't think it's that much of a stretch from his real personality.

"Joker" is set in 1982. I couldn't figure it out at first, but once he ran by a movie marquee and the movies playing were "Blowout" and "Love at First Bite," I realized this was a period piece.

* I think I have to two movies correct."

* The restroom scene and clock punch scene were both ad-libbed."

The movie does not feel like a comic/superhero/super villain movie at all.

The movie was dark, brooding and sad. There are no likable people in the entire movie except for "1" midget, and you worry about him.

Arthur is not really likable either, he's pathetic, but he's the star, and a good one!

The movie is truly about watching a man, (amusingly genesis from a made up comic book character) who is sad and depressed, but we watched his mental breakdown morph into a "people's champion."
Thugs and street hoodrats championed his efforts.

The restroom scene is where Arthur became "The Joker."
Arthur Fleck's shoes and the way he was instructed to "run" helped move scenes along nicely.
His smoking helped as well, and it's rare for lib Hollywood to have characters smoke these days.
Like wet roads, smoke looks good on film.

I give "Joker" 4 of 5 Clown Shoes.

Addendum: The real star of this movie was the "cello." Icelandic cellist Hildur Ingveldardóttir Guðnadóttir, a thirty-seven-year-old woman, provided the pasture for elegance. If not for her lavish/gothic cello music, Arthur/Joker's transformation would not have happened.
Addendum: Like the soundtrack to the premiere of "Twin Peaks" back in 1990, the music/score made the movie.

...------

Ms. Hildur G.


The "shoes" moved Arthur's soul...

I did not watch the Oscars, but I did see a couple short clips, including J Phoenix's acceptance speech.

...and with that speech, the "Joker" performance seemed all for not. I suddenly wanted my money back.

Addendum: Kidding, good movie, but silly place for his "agenda-speech" when he was there to win and deliver an "acting-speech."

...------

Yeah, Hollyweird blows

I don't see them as weird, just pompous because they have microphones in front of them, and they think they now what's best for the country's people...

Just like many of us.
