Great

Rating: 7/10 (10 December 2019)

People rating this 10, must be people not familiar with the Batman universe.
While it was indeed a great movie it's seems to want to humanize the Joker as a pitiful soul, which we have learned through many years in the Batman-universe, is not the case. The Joker is a vile, savage Psycopath who is on a path of destruction for no apparent reason other than wreaking havoc and causing mayhem. As Alfred puts it in Nolans Trilogy 'some men just wanna watch the world burn'.
As stated, it IS a great movie, but not a great Joker movie as it conflicting with that whole idea why the Joker is the way he is. It should be a portrait of a broken man set in the same setting but and basically the same story but without be the Joker.
Phoenix does a brilliant job whether you agree with my view on the movie or belong to those who thinks this is the best movie ever made. Currently it ranks above almost all Tarantino movies, the first star wars trilogy, Lord of the Rings trilogy and even The Green Mile.... So before rating it 10, PLEASE put that into your perspective...
