Avoid this movie: here's why

Rating: 1/10 (6 October 2019)

Heads up: this movie would be very bad for your mental and spiritual health.
I made the mistake of deciding to see it--by reassuring myself that it would probably be a great Batman spin-off movie.
I was very wrong.
This movie is about a psychotic loser who goes postal. It strenuously tries to pull you into its dark vortex, and offers the following justification and rationalization of all the macabre violence: poor, bullied Joker had a hard childhood, and a hard life in a corrupt city.
Positive reviews can talk all they want about "great acting," and "great lighting," or whatever; but they're just fooling themselves, and maybe you. It's a sick, juvenile, pseudo-profound story. (And oh, yeah, I didn't like the Frank Sinatra songs--or those of pedophile Gary Glitter, either!)
People exposing themselves to this damaging film can only come out of it damaged.
