The best DC film since Green Lantern, you're welcome Canada.

Rating: 10/10 (5 October 2019)

JOKER is dark, violent, astonishing, mind blowing and an absolutely riveting piece of art. 10 mins into the film and you know you are in for a magnificent treat. It's beautifully shot, crisply directed and amazingly scored. I personally never found it dull even for a second and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout.
As many would already know, JOKER takes a lot of inspiration from 2 Martin Scorsese directed films in particular, namely TAXI DRIVER and THE KING OF COMEDY. If you've seen both, you should be able to recognize the similar elements, patterns and themes shared by them.
Joaquin Phoenix was at his literal best every single frame, as if it was a tailor made role for him. His expressions, his way of talking, laughing, walking, running, dancing, everything he did was purely ravishing. Ive always considered him one of the best actors of this generation, and he never fails to win over my heart. He is definitely the best performer of the year so far, at least for me.
I walked into the theatre with high expectations, and walked out with goosebumps all around. The end was stunning and I couldn't ask for more. This is DC at its finest, this is DC at its darkest, this is exactly what DC fans have been waiting to cheer for, for a long long time. The best DC live action film of this decade. Todd Phillips and Co. have created a masterpiece which easily makes it to the league of the best CBMs' ever.
10/10.
