Good as standalone movie

Rating: 6/10 (13 October 2019)

The Joker is a cinematic masterpiece with a great performance by Joaquin Phoenix. It would have been one of the best movies if it wasn't about the joker, supposedly. Because as an origin movie for the Joker it is terribly inaccurate. The Joker is portrayed as an old idiot with mental health issues. While the DC Joker is a highly intelligent psychopath who can outsmart Batman on occasion. It is a fantastic movie, but not a good representation of the Joker. In my opinion Heath Ledgers, Mark Hamilton's and Jack Nicholson's Jokers are thousand times better.
