Saw it last Saturday.
Was dark but an excellent movie.
Joaquin Phoenix is such an under-rated Actor.
Today’s Hollywood actors pale in comparison to his craft.
Refreshing, thoughtful, not the standard fare comic book buffet.
I’ve been avoiding this movie because the left have targeted to be a representation of the president..is this true? I never go to movies but early on the joker was being held as a must see flick..now I’m leery about it!
I grew up with Cesar Romero as the Joker. I guess I don’t understand the dark psychotic Jokers of movies of recent decades.
It really was a great movie. One of the best I’ve seen in a long while. You are right about it not being a comic book type movie. This Joker could have been in any city not just Gotham.
Watched it yesterday. Followed up by re-viewing of The Dark Knight at home.
Cant argue with the quality of the movie and the acting of Joaquin Phoenix. It was all good. Most importantly, in provided the back story to the excellent role played by Heath Ledger in TDK.
That said, as a stand alone movie, Joker is kind of slow.
I also re-watched a few of the Jack Nicholson scenes from the older Keaton Batman movie. Completely different character origination with Jack Nicholson, but I still love seeing him in that role. “This town needs an enema!” just cracks me up.
