Even after the hype, I wanted more

Rating: 9/10 (29 January 2020)

Right, this is not really a super hero/villain film. It's a view into a disturbed mind that is superbly acted and just portrayed with such conviction. Did I want a super villain film, well kind of, yes. I was waiting for "The Joker" to arrive and cause mayhem. Will this lead to an actual Joker film who takes his inspiration from Arthur and goes by his name and creates mayhem in Gotham, I would not bet against it. I digress, sorry, Joker is a film that keeps the viewer enthrawled and unable to leave the sofa. Totally absorbing and in its own way, very entertaining. A must watch and in all honesty, worth the hype.
