The Hype isn't real

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2019)

Honestly, 2/3 of this movie is painfully average and slow. I would be fine with that if it were used for over the top character development, but we don't really get that. He has a weird mom, takes a few beat downs. And that's why he wants to burn the world down???? I'm just not buying it. The ending was great, however and saved the movie from being a complete disaster, while tieing into the Batman origin story. I wouldn't call this film a waste of time, but it's not nearly the hype machine people are making it out to be. The story was just average and Phoneix wasn't great, either. He had a better performance in the movie "Space Camp." Jack Nicholson will forever be the only true Joker.
