Let's put a smile on that face 🙂

Rating: 9/10 (2 October 2019)

First of all , let me put a disclaimer that I strongly believe that there shouldn't be any comparisons with The dark Knight and Heath ledger and this movie should be watched with a fresh perspective.
For me, I expected the movie to be dark and intense and believe me when I say this that this is one of the darkest movie I've ever seen.
It brings out a sea of emotions from within where you feel pity for Joker sometimes or you feel that this guy has gone nuts and also makes you sick to the stomach. That is the genius of Joaquin Phoenix where he completely immerses himself in this character and unleashes the madness that the Joker is supposed to have. Todd Phillip's as the director brings out a refreshing take on the Joker's character and storyline. Robert De Niro in his small but limited role as always makes an impact. The only flaw that I felt that was that movie was a tad slow and I expected more action sequences. But I guess that was just me. Maybe that was required for the built up to show all the craziness that Joker does. In the end , that sheer madness does put a smile on that face when you walk out of the movie that you've witnessed something special.
