What I expected from an R-rated Joker film

Rating: 7/10 (8 January 2020)

This movie's tone is dark, chilling, haunting, violent and at times actually funny. I thought overall this movie could have been better, but it's still a good movie. It kind of starts slow, but as it goes on it gets better and the ending is the best part of the movie. Heath Ledger is still my favorite Joker, but Joaquin Phoenix is still great with his own interpretation of Joker. I personally would love to see a sequel that has Joker taking on Batman. Also be aware that this is not your typical supervillain origin story. This is a psychological drama that explains the origin of Joker and focuses more on story and character development than on action and special effects. This movie reminds me a lot of Taxi Driver, which Robert De Niro was also in.
