Unimaginative

Rating: 1/10 (26 October 2019)

First of all let me say this movie is over-hyped and over rated, whether people say its a masterpiece for popularity reasons,because everyone else says it is because they wanted to prove critics wrong or because most of these people don't have a high enough IQ to see how mediocre it was..
My perfect joker was already done by Heath Ledger. A villain with a twisted,dark,crafty,messed up mind that doesn't play by other peoples rules. Someone who doesn't conform to society and doesn't fit in,who would rather see the world burn and uses his dark mentality and twisted sense of humor to enact these thoughts and feelings out on everything and everyone. A freak who doesn't care if hes a freak and can out-wit out-do Batman at every turn. To me the person who would become joker isn't a simpleton..and sad pathetic idiot who doesn't understand the world,people or himself. This man would not be a looser who lives with his mother and struggles to get by.. An average joe who uses simple normal people vices to deal with his reality. (smoking,drink ect) Who's only unique quality is a bizarre laugh and even that was an accident that he had no say in and can't even control..No..this is not the mentality or the attitude or the way the mind breaks down.
The person who wrote this script has zero understanding of mental illness,mental disorders,psychology or human behavior. Typical Hollywood to just throw a movie together that seems as if it was written by a high school student and have everyone praise it.
The actor did a ok job just like hes done in other movies but he was way too old for the part. If Bruce Wayne was 8-10 when joker was 40+ then that means he would be fighting an 50-60+ year old man.. What a joke that is! Ha! Phoenix had that laugh down but the parts where he started laughing uncontrollably was just hard to watch;it was awkward and drawn out and not creepy,interesting or unique.. Besides that he just brought a pathetic childishness to the character (which may have been what the director wanted) but to me just served to belittle the name of Joker even more.
The score was terrible..The same loongg..drawn out...cello/violin tune..over and ovveerr! The same song multiple times..As if you couldn't hire someone better to make an actual score for the movie that was going to make you millions..
The redeeming part was the delusions about the woman but to me even that was obvious it was in his head. I mean.. you stalk a woman all day and she's going to invite you in to her place?? RIGHT... I liked the scene with his old co-workers near the end but then again that's when he was really turning into Joker and the mentality and actions fit. I also thought how they made the Joker the key that started the riots and protests and that's what led to Bruce Wayne's parents dying. But since there was already an origin for that it really didn't add much to the story. And we have all seen that scene a thousand times..Also, I liked his crazy dancing and how he kept his clown behavior through the movie and that's what relates to the Joker makeup and so on which helps things come full circle.
Overall i was vastly upset that they went this sloppy boo-hoo direction and i will forgot about this movie in an hour lol. It has zero lasting potential for me. In conclusion..
This was written by simple people for simple people and there is nothing grand,great or imaginative about it. 4/10 at the best.
