Not really a comic book movie

Rating: 8/10 (15 May 2020)

A wondrous performance by Joaquin Phoenix is turned in for Joker, one that was unexpected by me for sure. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is simply because of it's desire to disconnect itself from the comics creating some holes in the potential of the future it hinted at with Batman. The story was good in and of itself and the performance by Phoenix was remarkable, just didn't like a comic book character being used effectively for marketing alone.
