It's not Heath Ledger... and that's a good thing.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2019)

The Joker that Heath delivered can not be matched or topped. It was probably the greatest performance an actor has ever given. Whenever he is on screen, it is just mesmerizing. That being said, Joaquin has delivered us something very different from Heath's vision of the Joker, something unique and equally praise worthy. I didn't think it could be done, but Joaquin and Todd Phillips did do it.
I had low expectations for this movie. Really low. I mean really, really low, especially after all the turds that WB tends to churn out and whatever it was that Leto was trying to do.
I'll try to make this simple. Watch the movie. Don't pay to close attention to it, just enjoy it. Wait a week, then watch it again. This time play close attention to things. Try to discern the things that are real and that aren't. Most things are real, but may or may not have some distortion to them.
The movie is a slow burn, something you don't see executed well very often. I also don't recall a movie in which the star appeared in every single scene of the movie. I'll have to watch it a third time to verify that, but I think he was in every scene.
