10 stars for Phoenix 7 for the movie

Rating: 7/10 (12 January 2020)

Joker did not provide all the glitz, excitement and action that most superhero/Marvel/DC films tend to have, what it did have is the backstory on the Joker. The intro to his meeting Batman as a child, laying groundwork for the future of the two. I appreciate a film that can cause the viewer to have empathy for the villain and this one did just that. Phenomenal acting by Joaquin Pheonix. He was cast perfectly as he puts his all into all of his work and superbly played the Joker. All in all a well enjoyed film that leaves me looking for the next.
