People just like this movie because the media told you to like it.

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2020)

I'm getting rather tired of Hollywood trying to go for these hyper realistic comic book movies as of late. If I could sum this movie up it's cringy and depressing.
It hardly has anything to do with the Joker and doesn't feel like a movie about the Joker at all. Instead it just feels like a movie about a mentally unstable man that goes around killing people for not much of a valid enough reason aside from his inability to cope and socially interact with the world. That's kind of the problem with the movie where this joker is mentally weak and socially awkward where as the Joker in the comics is psychopath but also a genius and a leader. That's not any of the traits the joke in this move has aside from the psychopath part.
Really I felt this movie could of been about any serial killer and they just slapped the name Joker on it. The movie should of been about a man down in his dumps completed fractured by society and deciding to organize himself to break the society which broke him by becoming the joker. Pretty much what Heath Ledgers Joker became. Someone who had no bounds to the order of day to day society but instead wanted to create mayhem for his own amusement. This movie though this isn't that Joker at all. Almost everything that happens to him is by accident or coincidence. He's not very intelligent and doesn't think 3 steps ahead of people like the Joker should.
Is the movie entertaining yes. The actor did a good job at playing a serial killer that dresses like a clown. This movie however just didn't feel like it had anything to do with the Joker aside from the laugh and the make up.
