Joker - masterpiece or overhyped?

Rating: 7/10 (1 November 2019)

To begin with, surface fans of the Batman dc universe won't be caught by this movie. Neither will those who want an explanation as to who the real joker is. This is one take on the myth. Phoenix does portray this version very well, however the storyline is rather simple. There are no complex revelations, no deeper insights into the mind of the joker. Being a product of abuse and mistreatment plus him stopping to take his medicine and Chance created this entity. Sure it is an impressive piece but overall it is a pretty predictable movie.
