Over hyped

Rating: 6/10 (27 November 2019)

Phoenix was good, not great. I think this movie was completely unnecessary. One of the great things about the Ledger/Nolan Joker was you didn't know his backstory, you didn't know what drove him to cause chaos. It was chaos for the sake of chaos.
The only thing this movie really did was shine a light on the reality of mental healthcare in this country. He clearly needs help, and asks for help, but is turned away because of budget cuts and his lack of money.
Spoiler!
The whole plot twist of his probably being Bruce's half brother was completely unnecessary. I get the fact that it is in the Batman universe so of course people want to see Gotham, and the Waynes, but did we need to again see the origin of Batman with his parents murder.
