This movie is Excellent. It was a great experience watching it. I cant think of a better way to continue the Joker Story. If you think this movie is a Musical, you CLEARLY didn't understood the movie. You are in the head of Arthur, thats way he danced so much in the first one, now you are seeing it with him.
This movie is for people with higher IQs, not for single minded that wanted to see Joker suddenly skilled like John Wick and evil / strategic like a Marvel villain.
Let me tell you more:
Every review you hear / watch that says this joker is toned down was given by People whole still love the New Fast And Furious movies and don't question how the Toreto Family went from fixing old cars and making tuna sandwiches to destroying Nuclear Tanks, cars in space, skilled like a Futuristic WINTER Soldier, more effective than Ethan Hunt and James Bond combined and capable of killing Thanos faster than the Avengers. This Arthur Fleck was damaged, weak, sick, not intelligent, not strategic, impulsive.... this guy is no leader, and clearly not the strong Joker we are used to see against Batman, but... he is the inspiration.... glasscut smile!!!!!
