That Joker Movie was abominable

Unbearable and cringe.

Every time I hear it being praised I want to drop kick said person or group of people down a well with that demon bish from the ring, Samara

Ir's supposed to be cringe because the Joker's message was f*ck society. So ask yourself, why does our society cringe at the awkward, mentally challenged?

the Joker should have an evil, menacing, maniacal laugh; not some retarded laughing fits.... I don't know I found it pretty cringe

all in all still a decent movie though

The problem with the Joker movie is it's not actually about Batman, or even the Joker character itself for that matter. It's a movie about an incel with severe mental health issues caused by trauma from his past, but he's still with it just enough to decide to weaponize said mental health issues after years of getting shat on by 99% of people he comes across.

It wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't so blatantly forced it to center around the guy turning into the Joker when they barely made any efforts to actually make it about the Joker character. It's like they inserted the Joker aspect to the movie strictly so it would pull more money. And we're being honest, it worked, because that movie probably made about 100x more for being about the Joker than it would have all else being equal and it not having the Joker crap forced into it.

It was better than i thought it would be because I normally find joquin phoenix to be extremely boring.

He played the crazy guy pretty good. I liked the part about his girlfreind just being in his mind. Really seemed nuts when they exposed that.

Thought it was objectively good in a sea of bad films post 2012(srs we only get like 3 good movies per year now)

It had srs pacing issues, half way through the movie it loses your attention until the third act




It's one of those movies that is only created to set up a sequel, this one just told the origin of Joker's becoming

it worked because it was appropriate in a lot of ways. Its a pop character that is a crossing point for those mannerisms thus it directly resonates. I don't think it was forced because of this; the opposite, really.

I give it a solid 8/10 or so. I took it as a simple analog as to how the pressures of society affect people in different ways, and how we wouldn't need batman if greedy fuks wouldn't be greedy fuks.

The movie was really about "the joker in all of us." If you didn't get that, then cool. However it sounds like the movie touched a lot of people where they don't invite strangers lmao.

would you rather have more aquaman movies lmao. DC isn't good at feelgood chit.

Ironically I gotta say it feels good to see people panning the movie because it was over-rated. I suppose that's going to happen until someone dethrones the dark knight....

It was fine for movies with that particular aesthetic, but its not for me. I just felt exhausted after watching it.

To be clear, I typically have fairly harsh opinions about movies. Especially movies meant to be taken at least somewhat seriously like the Joker movie. I can give a lot of comedies a break in a lot of ways because they are meant to be pretty stupid and ridiculous in a lot of ways, but I digress.

Joker wasn't a *bad* movie by any means. I actually enjoyed it for the most part, especially when comparing it to all the other trash Hollywood has been pushing out over the past decade. As you said, it's more that it was simply way overrated than anything else. Worth a watch for sure imo, but it's not so amazing I'd put much thought into it beyond the time I saw it.

Ironically, seeing Joker in a theater back in late 2019 was the last "date night" type event I ever did with my ex-wife back. I still wasn't aware of her plans of bailing on me and our family at the time, then she hit me with it like a sack of bricks a few weeks after we saw the movie. I find the coincidence of it all kinda lulz lmao

Yeah it was pretty mid.

I'm pretty sure the joker wasn't an autistic FA either.


I wonder how many future mass shooters fap to this scene, srs.

Ugh this is one of the many parts in that movie that make me recoil in horror from how awkward and overacted the scenes were. The second hand embarrassment is too strong.

This. People who hate it think you're supposed to either worship the joker or hate the movie, I don't get it. When it comes to writing, acting, framing shots - basically doing everything it takes to make a great movie - it's one of the best I've ever seen. The acting is pretty nuts.

Agree to disagree then.

You're the exception though, I would not drop kick you down a haunted well with Samara.

You need to say why....

I liked it in a way but of course it's not really the Joker but some typical DC movie where they can't tell the real story.

Meanwhile, I did like that life was so bad for him that he started seeing it as a joke. That's the main personality point of Joker, he sees horrible things as funny, ironic, etc.

No other Joker in the movies had the actual personality of the Joker and the latest film was actually close on that point.
