They should've named it 'teal and orange' instead of 'Joker'

Rating: 7/10 (5 October 2019)

The other aspects of the movie may or may not have been great. But my, oh my, the cinematography.
There were so many nice shots completely ruined by the 'delightful' combination which is teal and orange.
Yes, you read that right. The trend every one left in idk 2016, has been brought back to life by this movie. It's as if the director and the whole bunch though that it's been long enough since everyone stopped using it (because it became really mainstream) so it's okay for them to.
And that's where they were wrong.
Maybe, it could've went unnoticed or even bring to the atmosphere, but it was so overused that it made the visual experience annoying, except for three or four scenes where they switched to something else (they were my favorite).
I feel very disappointed by this cinematographic decision, especially because it's a movie about the joker. They should've came up with something more than an overused Hollywood trend for the movie about the most interesting super villain.
Leaving this to the side, I can say that the acting of Joaquin was insane. Same goes for Frances Conroy, who I really love. The story was alright, somehow felt sloppy but it kept me expecting to the end and there were some plot twist, which caught me off guard.
The ending was nice and I really liked the scene in Muray's studio. It made me laugh instead of judge the Joker, which I think was the whole point.
Something I didn't like is that the aggression from the citizens in the whole movie felt really unnatural. I think that for most of the time people need something more than a unintentional punch in the subway to start a massive fight. I can understand that it's Gotham city and the people aren't just normal ethical people and the political situation is really bad and so on, but it wasn't well depicted from the start of the movie and escalated too quickly.
The sound did a great job, it gave me a lot of anxiety although I felt there were some overused effects there too. Not as much as teal and orange though.
All in all, I give the movie a 7 because of the incredible Joaquin but the fact that he was so good makes me even more disappointed of what the movie could've been with better cinematography and better writing/directing. A nice actor and some plot twist don't make 10/10, please people, make it stop. All of this hype isn't in favor of the movie.
