Best Joker Portrayal I've Seen in a While!

Rating: 9/10 (27 November 2019)

Throughout the years, we have seen multiple people play the Joker. Although Heath Ledger's portrayal was really good, Joaquin Phoenix nails the part of Joker to a tee.
While the movie is somewhat slow, Joaquin Phoenix's performance of the Joker is outstanding in every aspect. He shows all of Arthur Fleck's emotions and struggles; we get to see a deeper side of the Joker we don't get to see in other shows and movies. Because of this, it pulls you in to Arthur's world and you feel intimate with a villian you used to think was always just a bad guy. It's a reminder that even the Joker was a "normal" guy once. You see him go from that "normal" guy with a mental disorder, to the psychopath, riot-causing comic book character we all know and love.
As mentioned earlier, the movie is somewhat slow, but anyone interested in getting to see the "True Joker" and who the Joker really is and was, will appreciate the slow storyline.
To sum it all up, the Joker is a great (but somewhat slow) movie for DC/Joker fans, that appreciate an in-depth storyline that shows the main character's life struggles and transformation into their "True (or inner) Self".
Just a word of warning: Although the Joker doesn't have a lot of killing in it, when it does, it can be quite gruesome and could be considered frightening for young viewers.
