Not Revolutionary

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2019)

Joker is not the comic book movie to flip the genre on it's head; purely because, besides the name and aesthetics of The Joker, Joker is not at all about the renowned DC Villain. Whilst it's merits are plentiful, it also has many downfalls. I found myself bored half way through and it only picks up about half an hour before the end. If you're a fan of Scorsese then you'll love this homage to Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, but if you're a Joker diehard then you may find yourself disappointed. Nevertheless, by the end I found myself somewhat satisfied and definitely entertained by that incredible final act so watch it if you want but I would advise against going if you're emotionally fragile or venerable; it gets dark.
