A Dark Crime Thriller which Is Not Your Normal Comic Book Movie

Rating: 9/10 (19 October 2019)

The Joker is one of the most iconic charaters of all time, and has had some amazing prerformaces and some that were a little disapointing preformaces as well. Regardless I feel like as a fan of comic book movies especially the character of the Joker so I had high expectations.
Now the trailers I watched gave me a lot of hype for not only the preformance of Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker but also at the Scorsese Taxi Driver feel which definitely translates into the film. And I feel as if the trailers didn't show the feel and tone of this movie. Now This movie really amazed me weither it was the preformances or the cinematography I really didnt't have a reason to hate this movie. I felt as if this was a movie that will be for me a classic it really amazed me while also made me think about society, and how some of the lower class of the world are treated and let's be real the depiction of mental illness and how Arthur ended up sprialing into utter madness.
Joaquin Phoenix is amazing I think he is definitely the best Joker and while I do love the performace of Heath Ledger as The Joker, I think that he brings new elements to the character, while also being the same crazy lovable character that we know and love. The end scence which I won't spoil was probably one of the best scences of the movie and gave me literal chills and I swear that it was one of the moments that I thought about for a long time after the movie finished and i'm thinking about it now.
overall Damn Joker was amazing movie of the year so far, and it's so thought provoking and all of the callbacks to the Batman story with Thomas and Bruce wayne setting up a whole seperate unrelated non DCEU movie that really in a way is better than many of the DCEU movies overall there was so mutch to love.
I give it a very soild and well deserved 9/10 and Todd Philips killed it and I think that he could definitely direct another comic book movie I would watch it.
