Too much fuss ? May be a tid-bit ??

Rating: 7/10 (7 October 2019)

Way too much fuss ! Is it a good enough movie? Sure ! It has its moments. But is it that good To stumble upon a rave review in every other second on social media ? Don't think so either. Joaquin Phoenix is a wild actor and as per his credentials he acted the hell out of an unhinged whacky character, the way he usually does. But for a movies perspective, following a single character throughout the whole movie even if he is the lead protagonist, restricts other characters buildup and it's not necessarily a good thing. 99.99% of the time Joker was infront of the lenses and sometimes it could be a little tedious even if it's Phoenix, u know! no breathing room for the storyline to grow.
Joaquin Phoenix: 9/10
Joker movie: 7/10
Cinematography was beautiful, no doubt about that. Storyline, not rich enough. Dialogues, don't even start !
Now, can u tell me anything that's new in this movie?
Plotted may be in a New Yorkish 80s era Gotham, combined two Scorsese classics Taxi Driver and king of comedies, blended Charles Bronson's famous anti heroic and public pleasing Deathwish shootout at subway and a subsequent public revolt. What else ? To prevent any IP lawsuit Todd even brought De Nero to negate that criticism and Scorsese as a producer (even though he dropped himself), he outdid at that part I give u that. So what's new in this movie that I should hail now ? I can tell tons of great anti establishment movies far better than this which never received any limelight , better anarchist than this movies Joker. Oh heck! even Heth Ledger was a better one in that regard.
Product of an opressive regime/failed society, vigilantism, showdown at live tv and a successive masked vigil showdown against establishment, does it sound similar ? If it is, then u r right my friend !! May be from "V for Vendetta " ?!
So why should I hail this movie? No brand new concept or ideology, no groundbreaking nothing. One linear storyline told from one single point of view. Only a very very good actor at the epitome of his career.Have I missed anything ? Some odd gimmicks could never make up for the lack of it. Quality dialogues, not even start !! At best it should get a soft 8 at IMDB, not what I'm seeing right now.
