One of the best movies of 2019

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2019)

Honestly I was already expecting it to be great, yet i think that the choice of the casting was what made it big.
For starters, i consider that the crucial piece that held the whole thing was Phoenix's performance that is more then 10/10.
Yet i thought that the development was not more then an 8. I find the screenplay quite good, the story is well developed but there is a certain "slow paceness" that doesn't allow me to say that the atmosphere was overall as tense as I expected. But as I said the movie is great.
There were, in my opinion, some scenes that were a bit off. With this I mean that they don't really match the tone of the movie.
To sum up, and I think i said it all, the movie is a 8.5/10. Great performance, good directing yet not amazing, and a good representation of the character, with a very distinct take compared to the previous adaptations, which left the comedy behind and introduced madness into the "comic book world".
