Todd Philipps is no Scorsese

Rating: 7/10 (9 October 2019)

I loved the subversion of the Joker and would recommend it to everyone.
BUT I was bored by some easy scenes (especially the opening one) and Todd Philipps doing some Todd Philipps stuff:
(overuse of) slow motions, stylish shots, stylish effects, big music...
Too much.
Take Taxi Driver. Same idea. Less effects. More impact? I believe so. After all, it's a lifetime classic.
Will Joker be? I don't believe so.
Joker definitely is subversive, but in a mainstream way.
