Amazing origin story for The Clown Prince of Crime!

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2019)

Coming from long time fan of Batman and an even bigger fan of the Joker this movie was exactly what we wanted. Joaquin Phoenix must be considered for one of the best Jokers of our time. He absolutely nailed the role with his infectious laugh, mannerisms, and more. It's a harsh realistic backstory to one of the greatest villains of all time. It's a very intense film having my fists clenched or my hands over my mouth most of the time. Todd Phillips delivered us a dark and gritty Joker movie that shouldn't have been portrayed any other way. The cinematography was absolutely gorgeous and deserves an Oscar Nom(Along with Joaquin's performance) The Crime Alley scene was a perfect setup and I was totally geeking out seeing not only the start of Joker's madness but also seeing the start of little Bruce Wayne's transformation into Batman and knowing the path these two characters are on. This movie goes right up along The Dark Knight as far as I'm concerned. Amazing film
