Great Camera Work Great Music Great Acting OK story

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2019)

Overall I love the movie, I think it is great. The camera work the music create a great atmosphere. You would really enjoyed, but I know it is due to the restriction from comic but the story is not complex enough in my mind. We all know what is going to be happened, Arthur would go nut and become the Joker. They gave us a good story but compared to the acting and producing, it can be better.
Another issue for me is that i feels like they are trying so hard to make a epic movie. I enjoy a movie with great camera work and acting, but to be honest for this one, sometimes I feels like they are trying too hard.
For example, for the scene he practiced the knock knock joke at home and pretend to shot himself, you just know there is going to be a scene that camera slowly rolling away, and there are going to be light coming from the ceiling, there are going to be contract of color from his brighter clothing and darker furniture. Don't get me wrong, it is a great scene, it gives you a sense of oil painting, but it just gave me the feeling that they are trying to achieve this.
A great movie like Dark Knight, it is epic not because Nolan is trying to make it epic, the story is just that great. But this one, I feels like their target is to create a masterpiece so they just create a movie to fit the "standards" for a masterpiece- great camera, great music, great acting etc,. They achieved it but it just seems to me it is a little bit artificial.
