Good movie, if you don't compare it to DC Comics

Rating: 7/10 (3 November 2019)

The movie is an excellent portrayal of how a neurotic man goes bad after being denied medication and is constantly kicked by society while he's down.
However, the Joker as Arthur Fleck should not be compared to the Joker as Jack Napier. Arthur Fleck lacks grandeur, the capability to scheme, true chaos. I found that in many moments, the character could have been a lot more "jokerish".
I am not comparing Joaquin Phoenix to Heath Ledger or to Jack Nicholson, but I am comparing him to what the Joker's character always has been to me in the comics.
