Believe the Hype!!

Rating: 10/10 (11 February 2020)

When i read people's reaction saying don't believe the hype or the character doesn't stay true to the comics, i would say that, those people are the ones that do not understand what this movie is trying to do.
This is not a comic book adaptation of the joker story, this is a story of a the downfall of a human being who falls into madness because of all the bad stuff that he experiences in his life while all he wants is to be accepted by society.
The story is well written and the acting of Joaquin phoenix is just out of this world, its that good.
To see an actor so determined to make his character believable for the adience is amazing and fascinating to watch and he deserves all the credit for his oscar winning performance.
For me this is a true masterpiece, one wich we don't see to often anymore.
If you expect to see a comic book, action loaded, super hero/villain movie then you will be dissapointed but if you on the other hand are interested in a psychological drama and want to know how a person can become so estranged from the normal world and turns into a character that despite him being totally imsane, you actually care and respect the him and understands why he does what he does then you are in for a treat because this is truly a mesmerising experience, that you will remember for a long time.
A true modern day masterpiece and an excellent milestone in movie making
A massive 10/10 for me
