One of the most depressive title I'd ever seen! Please keep young or happy people away of this movie.

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2019)

I'm a big fan of superhero movies and I had to see this one. I went to the cinema at one of the late shows so I will begin telling that no matter the movie is very long and the show was very late ( I sleep early), you don't blink during the whole movie. And I mentioned this because the movie Is kind of slow paced but no matter that, everything looks so well placed that anything relating to filmmaking cannot be criticized in any level. Is just so well done. The acting of Joaquin Phoenix is superb, like he is meant to be the right one for interpretation of mentally affected characters. The sound is good, the music is mostly sad but fits so well that in the end that doesn't bother you. The sound is terrific. In summary everything relating to technical and artistic filmmaking is superb. But a movie is not only that, it has a soul based on the plot and this one has very good history but one just so depressing that cannot recommend this movie if you're going to the movies to have a nice moment. Seeing a movie is about feelings about a history and I consider that the history is key in how you feel after the movie, but this one goes too beyond in that apart. Is simply too much depressive. Not even sadness as we are talking of a villain. People is talking about darkness. Is not anything like that. Is just depression in maximum level. The character could be any other character that you can imagine. Name anyone. This is not a comic book story but the psychological fall of a person. A fall into a criminal citing society excuses. Doesn't need to be named the Joker. Anyone could have been the lead character Name. This movie could be named after anyone you can imagine. Don't need to be a comic character. This is not about comics or superheroes. Is about how humans minds can be devastated by society. You'll see a radiography of the society but a one that will highlights the bad in a way that will hurt your happiness. In summary, I give this one a 10 for is cinematic merits ( will receive Oscars for sure) and a 6 for being such horribly example of human degradation. In the end this one is a solid 8 to me. Not because any flaw of the movie on its own production, neither artistically or technical, but for the tone so devastating and depressive of the movie. Please keep young or happy people away of this movie. They will leave the movie on such low key that they don't deserve to see or have such a horrible point of view of life. For that there is enough on TV news. This Is not a superhero movie. Nor a comicbook one. It is a psychological study on how people lost faith in theirselves, fitted into a commercial character that drag audience to the cinema.
