A messy ok movie.

Rating: 6/10 (28 January 2020)

The story doesn't work for this character and this character doesn't work for this movie.
It's quite insulting the prestige this movie is gaining even though it's so poorly planned out. It wants to milk the "Joker" name and fan base to please teenagers and fanboys while trying to do a new Taxi Driver and/or The King of Comedy (straight up copying-pasting so many elements!). And trying to go both ways doesn't work.
The excessive amount of overexplaining and overacting is annoying and exhausting. We get it! The guy's crazy! People are mean to him! Joaquin Phoenix lost a lot of weight! None of it serves the story!
Overall is an ok movie but a waste of a decent story on a comic book character that doesn't fit in it.
