Critics are kinda funny, aren't they?

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2019)

I saw this movie yesterday and I was completely blown away by it. To say Joaquin did an amazing job is kind of pointless, because I can't think of a single movie where he wasn't amazing.
The way Joker is "set up" through Arthur's experiences is clever and compelling. The movie is not as action packed as you might think, but I was shocked at some of the events and it was actually painful to sit though some parts of it. Not because it was too violent or something like that, but because you could actually believe the character was in real pain.
I could talk all day about all the things I loved about it. But what I think it's really funny is that some critics are actually bashing the film. I shouldn't be surprised, but right now it has a score of 58 on Metacritic. IMDB score is 9.3.
As I was reading some of the critics' reviews, I was actually asking myself if I went to see a different movie. But, you know, everyone's got a right to their opinion. The sad fact about "the critic" is that these people get paid to say things like "Joker, an empty, foggy exercise in second-hand style and second-rate philosophizing" - The New York Times.
Well, maybe some people are too smart compared to normal people like me. But, at the end of the day, the bright side of being a normal, maybe "stupid" person, is that you can enjoy the little things in life and be amazed everytime a star like Joaquin lights everything around him with his talent.
I guess critics are already too bright, so there is no possibility of an enlightenment to them. Stupid people like me are tempted to think they are actually living in the dark.
