Slow and way overrated based on these 9 and 10* reviews.

Rating: 5/10 (9 October 2019)

Move is slow. It's mainly about mental illness. Not The Joker. And I don't wanna hear Phoenix even holds a candle to Ledgers Joker. It's not close. Ledger is a legend and Phoenix is something to forget. For one, he is a soft, weak, milquetoast man (his character). It is surrounded by darkness but not the kind you like or can enjoy. It's a sad & dreary played out movie that takes too long like someone that speaks a lot but doesn't say much. He isn't the Joker till roughly 20-25 minutes left. To sum it up, he smokes a cigarette, dances in a twirl, gets humiliated and laughs while crying for 3/4 of the movie. Spare me. It wasn't very good and is definitely overhyped. But I'm glad De Niro got his head blown off.
