A mediocre character drama and a massive disappointment for Joker Fans

Rating: 6/10 (10 March 2020)

Firstly, we have to get this out of the way, the HYPE surrounding this movie is unwarranted. I'm reviewing this movie because it lacks in any real substance and i can finish it quickly, i can describe the whole movie in one sentence without spoiling anything. "Guy gets pushed to the limit and lashes out at Society", you could've figured that out from the teaser trailer, there's no need to even watch the movie.
Sure, there are movies such as Taxi Driver that can be described like that as well but Taxi Driver added nuance&layers to the subjects it tackled. Joker leaves nothing to the imagination and its about as subtle as a sledgehammer to the face.
Phoenix does a fantastic job as another unique Joker despite the fact that the hackneyed script gives him very little to work with. Like i said earlier, if you've watched the teaser you've pretty much watched the entire movie.
