Finally We Have A True Adult Comic Book Film That Is Not For Kids!

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2019)

At first I didn't expect much with this film, as I saw the same previews of him running and laughing over and over again. Let me say, the hype is very real.
Joaquin Phoenix was as accurate as could be for playing someone with a mental disorder. His version of the Clown Prince Of Crime was very different compared to what we've seen in previous Batman related films. His character was realistic, the world was realistic, and as a viewer I felt on edge the entire time. This character was unpredictable because he was so mentally unstable. You didn't know if he would kill or not kill.
Joker is an origin story that is long over due. We see what it's like for the common citizens of Gotham that aren't in the point of views or Batman or Jim Gordon. It's a disturbing and very harsh society. We don't see super villains, we see that people whom are just trying to survive. This version of Joker has intentions of a any normal human whose been rubbed the wrong way by society, he just wants people to be nice to him and entertain them. By no means does he want to be a bad guy. He's very sympathetic and makes you think twice before you want to treat someone differently.
Phoenix was the real deal. The acting was on par and this was a terrific origin story. If you are comic book buff. Crime buff, or just a movie buff, give it a watch. Fair warning, this movie is indeed not for children and is just not appropriate for those young eyes to see. It is very dark and can be influential to those youngsters, therefore I would recommend leaving those little ones at home for this one. Go watch!
9/10 because there is no such perfect film.
