One major problem for me

Rating: 5/10 (25 January 2020)

OK, I will admit this was a beautifully shot movie, and it wasn't a superhero film as I was expecting.
What really turned me off to this movie was the unreliable narrator. Yes, there are movies such as The Usual Suspects or Jacob's Ladder that throw a last minute surprise curveball at you, but this movie relies too heavily on the character's memory lapses/ hallucinations.
The final scene with the Joker in the hospital- after standing triumphantly on the police car in the middle of the street- makes it seem as if the entire movie was just one big hallucination. It's a cheap, hackneyed trick (think J.R. Ewing dreaming an entire season of Dallas).
I expected better given the hype. Taxi Driver was a far better study of a character's decline into madness.
