Being a big batman guy I always thought the Joker worked better without a backstory. But I also love my dark psychological movies, so this still sounded like it was going to be ace, and it is!
This isn't an action movie. It's a character study/back story and it has you feeling both sorry for and being creeped out by Phonex. Who (as everyone is saying) is amazing in the movie.
This is a well told, expertly made, gritty drama which grabbed my attention in a way that over the top CGI hasn't for a while now. This film is well paced, unpredictable and shocking in all the right places. DC made the right choice in getting creative and not sticking to the superhero formula here.
