Surprised

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2019)

Considering DC's track record when it comes to film, I wasn't all that hopeful for the quality of this movie. However, after actually seeing this movie I can safely say that I enjoyed it very much.
Joker builds an air of tension from the very beginning with a slow but deliberate first act with everything from there on only getting more and more intense. The way Phoenix plays Arthur Fleck is amazing and should be highly commended as one of the great performances this year. The way he plays the joker as a delusional, sadistic killer and failure of a comedian is excellent, creating amazing moments of horror, cringe and disgust that draw the audience into the film and engulf us in the story of this mans downfall into insanity.
I would highly recommend this to any fans of the character and anyone looking for a break from the typical action blockbusters that we have come to know this genre of superhero movies for.
