Pros and cons

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2019)

Pros:
Original story, really powerful themes about class imbalance, mental illness, how much you can really take from someone, etc.
Crazy good acting for Arthur, every movement is planned to capture the image of someone discovering their role in the world
Character design for Joker is so good, the design of his followers works great
Cons:
Love interest subplot was just bad, they totally could've told the story of Arthur trying to find warmth in the world differently
Thomas Wayne storyline left something to be desired, did not have satisfying closure
Fake tension violin sound in legitimately tense scenes were not welcome
Best part: Murray Franklin show, great dialogue and great way to solidify the transformation from Arthur to Joker
Worst part: love interest ending, unnecessary and unwelcome
