Just WTF!

Rating: 10/10 (14 October 2019)

First time reviewing anything on here.
When I first heard about this film being made I was disappointed. No one would ever level Heath Ledger in my eyes. Not even Whacheem Phoenix. The movie posters did nothing for me either but a 2 for one cinema ticket deal entice me in.
The film is dark and that's not a metaphor. Its filmed with the least amount of light possible. Obviously to fit the ambience of the film but wow it's dark.
Now the performance I got started as desperation for acceptance to hopelessness to final disregard of what you want, I'm just going to be me. I was rooting for him at the end. This guy tried but every avenue for him was always going to take him to the path he ended up on. There was no choice for him. And he didn't need a load of CGI to get there! I'm a confessed Marvel fan. I love superheroes and the mythology that goes with it but this time I didn't need bells and whistles to get there.
It left me sad and upset but it left me fully understanding WHY the Joker is who he is and why he will always reign in chaos. Joaquin I salute you.
