Slow Burn

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2019)

I cannot even find the words to describe this movie, especially the last act of it. Joaquin tore this role to shreds. I was very very afraid that it wouldn't live up to the masterful trailer, but the journey you take with Arthur is so engrossing that by the time you get to the end, you want more.
And for an origin story to do that, world-build, character development at its peak, neutral stance on political topics, topped with Joaquin. The late night talk show scene is the Joker I hope to see more of in any kind of way.
It definitely takes its time building but by no means is it boring at all, especially when you get to about halfway through. It all makes perfect sense. In reality 8.5/10. It reminds me of "Batman Begins" the perfect origin.
