Great potential

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2019)

I think this movie is a good start for potentially a great joker. As a movie this was great, but for a Joker movie/DC movie it didn't quite hit home for me.
Firstly it's the thought that this is Joker, this is the arc enemy of Batman, I didn't quite see the mastermind nor the insane personality of joker. What I saw was a relatable Joker, and I didn't quite fancy that. It's easy to judge because this is the origin of Joker and will eventually build up to the insane mastermind that we love.
The climax wasn't that impressive either, suddenly the city is in chaos because a clown shot a news reporter on live TV? This was a really cheap way to end the film and it could've been executed way better.
All in all, this was a great movie and I'm excited to see if the joker in the sequele can live up to the great Heath Ledger.
