Don't listen to the media, this movie is wonderful

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

Although Arthur Fleck had a sick sense of humor that was often times off putting, yet the biggest joke of all related to the film is the media and metacritic coverage. Shock journalism has done a massive disservice to Joaquin Phoenix, Todd Phillips and the rest of the crew that created this wonderful film about a man that just could not get a break, and eventually broke himself.
Very reminiscent of the Taxi Driver, but much more a product of current times, Joker has a dark message to share about the instability and cruelty of our modern society while at the same time serving as a great character study and origin story for this infamous villain.
