It's great but not on Heath Ledger's level

Rating: 9/10 (3 October 2019)

Joker is portrayed brilliantly by Phoenix.
You really start to feel for the Joker and understand why he does what he does.
I really don't understand the criticism that this film get's from the so called press, also the stupid questions from the media towards J. Phoenix.
The movie is in no way disturbing and just shows the raw reality and what it can lead to when someone eventually snaps.
I also loved how Batman's origin story was put in this movie with face to face meeting of young Bruce and Arthur. That's why it needs a sequel, really needs it.
This Joker can't be compared to the one from Dark Knight. Phoenix is great but he is no Heath Ledger ( Ledger's Joker was delightfully more bonkers that the one Poenix portrays ).
