Ignore the mixed reviews, Joker is a Masterpiece and could be one of the best movies of the decade

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

At first I was hesitant to watch this film, mainly because of DC's past movies like Suicide Squad, Batman V Superman, Justice League, etc. But this is a more realistic take on one of the most iconic super villains of all time. Joker is a cinematic masterpiece. The cinematography is spectacular and I never thought I would see another movie that looked as stunning as this. Joaquin Phoenix's performance in my opinion is better than Heath Ledgers. The movie is presented in a dream-like manor, moments where scenes are just fantasies in Arthur's head which makes it ambiguous and up for interpretation. The final 15 minutes is absolutely phenomenal and I left the movie theater with a smile, highly satisfied with what I saw. Film buffs would appreciate this movie more due to it's themes and Martin Scorsese-like-style. If you love Martin Scorseses movies like Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, then you will love this film. Don't listen to the mixed reviews, if you want to have a great 2 hrs and 2 mins, then go see this movie.
