As Gervais said in the 13' Golden Globes: it's just a movie. A good one but that's all really

Rating: 8/10 (26 January 2020)

Ah this one was definitely more than just a movie for a lot of people for no reason whatsoever. From the people who idolize the character to the news outlets nonsensical criticism. With the exponential growth of connectivity and exposure nothing really stays in its pure form in this example this movie "should be" more than just a movie. Is it really? After watching the movie i couldn't find anything that critical or ground shaking about our lives maybe like V for V as a recent example. So i think most of the "debate" around this movie is just an empty balloon.

If we come to the movie itself it was good but nothing really special. Joaquin was excellent as expected, no surprises there really. For an actor that talented Joker is one of the roles that he can really shine and he did. The twists were good but expected because he is Joker he will go bonkers at some time and there should be some odd things in his life. I was more fan of the "mother" twist compared to the whole imaginary girlfriend thing it's kind of a clichÃ©. I liked how he ended up in Arkham after all it gave space for future movies, maybe.

I know this movie had no Batman in it but it kind of did as an idea. With Batman being this neutral "saint" which represents the "order" and "harmony" in society which really doesn't exist. I wonder if they'll go along with this Joker because if they will i think he has to go complete bonkers. Although the character is deranged he is a master planner and kind of copycat of Batman in that regard. That's how he competes with Batman. Let's hope for a fantastic movie with Batman and Joker but oh boy they have some big shoes to fill.
