Not a bad movie - not an exceptionnal movie but simply overrated

Rating: 6/10 (8 October 2019)

This weekend I had the chance to go and see ''Joker'' with my wife and sister. We are all aged between 27 and 29. I heard so many great reviews and comments about the movie that it was a no brainer for us to actually go and see it.
The most comments that I've read and heard about the movie were the following : It's depressing, It's a super fore movie, the last 30 minutes are savage, this is a no brainer oscar winner performance by the Joker etc.
I have to admit that the actor playing the Joker was actually really good. The acting scenes aren't particularly hard to execute or mind blowing but for some reason, the actor does an exceptional job to bring you into his dark and troubled universe.
As for all of the ''bloody scenes and gore scenes'' I actually didn't feel that this movie was as savage as all the critics that I've heard.
One thing I have to say though is that the movie does a really insane job at building who the Joker truly is and why Arthur has finally became the Joker that we all know but at the same time, the movie is so ''heavy'' and depressing and the build-up so slow that I don't know how much I did enjoy watching it.
This is a weird situation in which the movie is perfect for the purpose which is, explaining who is the Joker and where he comes from and I don't think anything should be changed but at the same time, I didn't completely enjoy watching the movie because of the very slow pace of the movie and few scenes that didn't totally made sense logically.
Overall, it is a movie that I totally recommend to everyone because you have to see the story of the Joker but a movie that doesn't deserve no more than 6 out of 10 in my personal opinion. Reviews of users are way to generous for what this movie is unfortunately.
