Beyond Expectations

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2019)

This film is something else, being a DC fan all my life, I'm certainly glad to see a different take on The Joker. Joaquin Phoenix is potentially one of the best Jokers now. His laugh is spot on and certainly goes beyond many others. Joaquin's overall performance is powerful and one of best in recent years. Todd Phillip's vision for a gritty non-comic based Joker film really sheds light on the problems Gotham's society. Which can easily portray a number of the problems in our actual society. Things such as lack of funding for mental health, rude and terrible people who only want to bring others down, and simply crime. Many people are scaring audiences about and there's no need to be afraid, this movie is potentially the most realistic take on a comic book Super Villain yet.
