Don't overthink like a Marvel critic.

Rating: 8/10 (6 October 2019)

How many times you feel for a super-villain? Joker, yes Joker. Every generation deserves its Joker. And this time, we got something so refreshing. If you want to see a non-fiction super-villain flick, go for Joker.
If Marvel does the combo movies right, it is DC who triumphs over Marvel when it comes to solo. More of an art film than visuals dazzling from the silver screen. This is not a dazzling Avengers, so don't expect too many visuals.
This really shows how the gap between rich and poor. It shows class in today's mass production. It depicts social norms in today's society. Even my deepest secrets! As Harvey Dent mentioned in TDK - "The world is cruel".
You almost feel for the Joker, be it his groaning, moaning or whining. Even the hysterical laughing (some people even started laughing hysterically after watching this film!) Seductive and psychotic -Totally dark amusement!
This is a prequel to taglines such as "Why so serious". And the best part is that the director didn't copy Ledger's accent. If Heath Ledger won the Oscar, posthumously, then Pheonix should get the award himself and also this movie should win the Best Adapted screenplay award.
A tight slap to hard-core Marvel fans who think Venom is the winner. How many solo Marvel movies has scored an IMDB score of 9.1/10 in the opening weekend? Too bad this is a stand-alone film. Sequel, please!
