Great movie with a bit of flaws!

Rating: 9/10 (11 October 2019)

When i went to watch joker i was a bit nervous to watch it, especially because the night before i had re-watched "the dark knight" (still a great film). One of the BEST parts of this movie was heath ledgers portray of joker! I was a concerned if joaquin phoenix could pull off a better joker, well right after watching this movie... all of MY concerns were gone. This movie is probably one of the greatest comic book movies of the year ( and i'm a big marvel fanboy). The cinematography in this film is great, i was worried about the direct todd philips doing a bad job but he did pretty good! The way the film looked was great for a movie like this which is meant to be dark and disturbing. Joaquin did a FANTASTIC job as joker, everything he did from the joker laugh to the way he acted felt like if i was watching JOKER. This movie is 2 hours long but due to it's slow pacing it felt much longer, which of course is great considering how good this was. Flaws: The one big flaw i had was the scene in which we find out the woman arthur has been "dating" his just a figment of his imagination, this was a bit cheesy but at the same time shows how broken arthur in this film that he has to go to the point where he has to imagine this sort of stuff. I didn't like this much and it was a bit confusing once i found this out, overall didn't bother me to much but it is my biggest flaw. One thing i found i bit disappointing was the final act, i imagined it being WAY LONGER, and i know i know this wasn't a marvel movie which has its big cgi final fight scenes (i also really the shot and music playing while joker is in the police car) overall not a big flaw without these 2 little things i think this would be a 10/10. OH and robert de niro does a great job in this film. Nobody really does a bad job in this film. So that was joker, a great film, a great comic book film and overall would definitely check this one out again and you should!
9.5/10
