Great acting - movie not so good

Rating: 7/10 (15 February 2020)

Very good acting performance - but the movie itself left a lot to be desired. How to make a 2 hour movie all about one role/actor? Dont. There was so much attention paid to the Joker role that all the other participants in the movie were overlooked and it left the movie shallow and devoid of depth. It was obvious from early on what was going on and I was thinking "I can see where this is going" and I was right. It was like going to see Laurence Olivier in Richard 3rd on the stage - you know exactly what you are going to get - it is all about his performance. But IMO a movie that attempts such a feat will always fall flat - because the 'feel' between stage and film as so vastly different. To all the millenials today - if you liked the acting performance in this movie go watch a good Broadway stage play - get over the comic movies and learn how to live.
