Joker was not funny at all. But then it's DC so I'm happy that it's entertaining to say the least. This movie was gripping and has unexpected twists and turns. The anarchy in the movie is palpable, such is the direction and the protagonist's role.
Joaquin Phoenix is remarkable in a man, struck by the satire of life and being marginalized in the society. He has definitely surpassed the joker of the dark knight.
Bravo to this masterpiece.
