Very underwhelming film

Rating: 6/10 (3 November 2019)

I like to consider myself an overall fan of the comic book world and generally love every film that comes out. I went with my partner to see this in the cinema and well felt underwhelmed and close to feeling I've wasted my money in going to the cinema. I like Phoenix a lot, I be honest I didn't see many trailers before going to cinema as I didn't want to have to many spoilers and stayed away from reviews. But looking at this site seeing so many giving this film a 10 out 10 I started to think did I even see the same film. I'm my honest opinion and I'm not going to use big words and make this review complicated to read but the film was boring. I think for a 2 hour film an hour was worth watching and about half hour of that had was Phoenix at his best. Phoenix did truly brought a new depth to the character Joker and I can't knock his performance. I wasn't after massive action sequences but the film just didn't flow, to many quite moments with nothing really happening. To many parts of the film really didn't need to be in it and was a complete was of time in viewing. But all this is my opinion but honestly not an Oscar winning film. Maybe just maybe Oscar for Phoenix as best Actor but I truly think it would be a nomination, sorry just my thoughts.
