A Great Stand Alone Movie

Rating: 9/10 (6 November 2019)

When I first heard Joker was coming out, I thought it was just another Marvel side story. Then I started hearing people talking about how dramatic it was. Then it won at the Cannes festival, so I just had to see it for myself, even though I'm not really into the super hero stuff. This movie was fantastic! It's good on its own as a stand alone movie. You could take away the whole Batman thing and it wouldn't make one bit of difference. I hope Joaquin Phoenix wins the best actor Oscar because it was the best performance I've seen this year so far. And Todd Phillips, who would have thought he could put out a drama/thriller like this? I'm already a fan of his, I love Old School and The Hangover. Wow first Jordan Peele, now Todd Phillips. You go boy! Nobody's going to box them into just comedies.
