Theater clapped at the end for a super-villain who was not even likable like other superheroes. This is the power of true cinema

Rating: 9/10 (5 October 2019)

Amidst all the propaganda this film is facing from the media this is without a doubt one of the best character driven film ever done. Everything in this film ooze great film making. Cinematography is drop dead gorgeous, sound track is hauntingly beautiful, directing wise Todd Philips has outdone himself, characters are extremely realistic, Gotham has never been this well shot and made and of course the acting. Holy hell it was good. Now before I get into the the obvious choice, I just want to bring Robert Di Niro who I thought was absolutely amazing in his role with such a little time given. With that said it is Joaquin Phoenix is what makes this film. I have seen most of his film from The master to the gladiator. And with this film he has cemented as one of the best actor to grace the screen. He is absolutely hypnotic in the role that you began to cheer for him. At the end when the credits role this film will make you think for better or for worst. And I think that is what film should do. That's the power of art.
