Not what I expected

Rating: 5/10 (25 December 2019)

Sometimes seeing something unexpected is good. In this case it wasn't. I had high hope in the first 5 minutes, then it went down during what felt like an eternity. I felt I was seeing the same thing over and over. No progression, as others have pointed out, Arthur is crazy at the beginning and barely crazier at the end. The movie is called Joker, but we got an Arthur Fleck movie. There is a weak attempt to place Fleck in the DC universe by having the Waines in the movie(is that considered a spoiler?), but that didn't work for me. At the end, this movie is just like a pale version of Taxi Driver. There are some good moments, which is why I gave it 5/10.
