Rating: 4/10 (5 March 2020)

You know I really wanted to like this film, but to me the plot was a let down and Joaquin Phoenix's performance while good didn't quite match the hype. It had great production, the cinematography, sound production and editing were all good.
I didn't buy into this character becoming a criminal mastermind, there was no hint of this guy having the intelligence the Joker is known, there was no plan to his actions, just reaction to his situation, unhinged reaction but nothing more. And there was no wacky monologues the Joker is know for, not it even a hint of it.
I was going to say it left me wanting more but no, I can't see me giving this incarnation of the joker anymore of my time.
