Member Koravec Posted October 17, 2019 Member Share Posted October 17, 2019 I just didnt know how to feel about the character portrayal, they made him out to be this weird autistic person, I spent the entire film really unsure about his level of competence or intelligence. Once the face paint went on though I was having as good of a time as Joker himself. Thought the characterization and costume design was great for the Joker. Cant wait to get more of that. Theres still a lot left to unfold. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted October 21, 2019 Member Share Posted October 21, 2019 I loved it and believe it could be my favourite film of 2019. It’s as grotesque and perverse as it is sad and, at times, touching. I’d even go as far as you use the term “masterpiece.” I didn’t care for the ambiguous ending but I’d say that once Phoenix is in full Joker mode, he’s my favourite Joker. Yep, even better than Ledger. It left me wanting so much more. Also, I’d say this is my favourite origin story of all time. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Drunken Monk Posted October 23, 2019 Member Share Posted October 23, 2019 According to Deadline, this may very well become the most successful R rated film of all time. It's already surpassed IT and is looking to make around $900 million off a $60 million budget. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those figures haven't been adjusted for inflation. For example The Exorcist made over 900 million in the US theaters alone if counted in 2019 currency. The news love to report how every new hit film is the most successful ever, but that just isn't true.

Member AlbertV Posted January 13, 2020 Author Member Share Posted January 13, 2020 I finally caught this over the weekend and I was shocked in a good way. I think this was one of Phoenix's best performances with the film tackling real-life issues involving mental health and how all the abuse he suffers slowly makes him even more crazy. I was really shocked at the twists in the film and that finale was holy cow! I'm kind of wishing Phoenix, not Jared Leto, played that character in Suicide Squad, but oh well...he really made this role his own! I am happy to hear he got nominated and I sure hope he wins the Academy Award for this film. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted May 25, 2021 Member Share Posted May 25, 2021 It was an alright movie. But I do think it tends to be way overrated. I've seen way better Jokers and way better psychological thrillers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
