Great comic book cinema

Rating: 8/10 (21 November 2019)

An origin story that's more plausible than the more fantastical one in the source material but still faithful to its spirit. Kudos to Joaquin Phoenix for being an absolute madman... and much credit to Todd Phillips and Scott Silver, the sadistic geniuses who came up with this. And last but not least, mad props to those monsters over at Warner Bros. for allowing this film to be as brutal, callous, and unforgiving as it is.
Finally! A comic-book movie with a big ol' pair of brass balls.
