I must admit I had not been a fan of DC comic book movies since the letdown of Man of Steel and Batman V Superman but Joker was amazing. I took my wife who is not a fan of comic movies in general but she stated at the end she absolutely loved the film as did I.
The movie is a slow burn for anyone expecting fast pacing but it works so well as a charecter study. To see Arther Flecks descent into madness kept me on the edge of my seat. The acting was top notch and I believe Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is above heath ledgers.
Don’t listen to critics as I read almost every negative review prior to seeing the film and figured they must be watching a different film. Kudos to DC for making this movie and I will be seeing it multiple times:)
