Not another Batman movie

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2019)

I overheard someone saying, "I hope this isn't another Batman movie" when I was walking in the cinema.
It isn't. Far from it. It is an amazing portrayal of how life has failed a man, driven him down a spiralling descent into insanity, and made him what he is. We can all relate to him.
Joaquin Phoenix had a lot to live up to after Heath Ledger. But he has the the role his own, with an outstanding performance worthy of an Oscar. He is mad, he is bad, but you can't help but feel sympathy for him.
Not often I give a movie ten stars, but this is one of those occasions. Go and see it now! It's an amazing piece of cinema.
