Definitely one of the best films this year.

Joaquin Phoenix's acting was amazing as expected, and was more or less a character study to how a mentally ill man shunned by society became the monster.

Cinematography was also really good, and the themes alludes to today's issues of mental illness and how apathetic society could be in their treatment of people in need of help.

That sounds heavy. How did the film make you feel?
user
To be honest, really uncomfortable and for good reason. How the citizens of Gotham was portrayed is not too far in how people nowadays could be in real life - opportunistic, cruel, and egocentric. Also the majority of the side characters felt more like plot devices, but due to Joaquin's character's mental condition, it felt appropriate to how the film progressed.

Is there anything that you didn't like about it?

Movie in of itself as a whole was good. But personally, I felt like it borrowed a little too much from older films like "Taxi Driver" and "King of Comedy" which were directed by Martin Scorcese.

What did you mean by that?

I meant that "Joker" in terms of plot played out a little too similarly to those other two films. Not to say that it copied it downright, but rather, a little too much homages. But that's just me though. The film was still great in it own right.

What score would you give it?
user
I'm not one to give out numerical scores, but I give it my highest recommendation. But as a head's up it plays out more as a psychological thriller rather than a comic book movie.

If the media is bashing a film, it's preferable to listen to the actual consumers' voice. This is one of those cases when the film is far better than how the "critics" appraised it.
