Not the Joker we wanted... But the Joker we deserved!

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2019)

As a HUGE Nolan trilogy fan I went into this with low expectations. I mean, who could compare with Ledgers Joker portrayal, let alone compete with the great script and plot 'The Dark Knight' gave us?
I couldn't have been more wrong. This movie completely blew me away. Not only was this great entertainment, but I left the cinema genuinely moved. Joaquin Phoenix will win the Oscar this year- no doubts.
This is not the origin story of any joker you have seen before. This is a very different take, and dare I say more realistic dissection of a villain we have all loved and hated for over a decade. I would love to see a sequel but a) I don't know how it would work and b) would be so scared they tarnished this work of art.
If you haven't seen it yet, buy a ticket now and go. You will NOT be disappointed.
