What I can't believe is how badly Phoenix is aging. :o
By the way, movie is all but ruined since DeNiro is in it.

X2 on both!
I actually think the guy that plays Joker on Gotham would have been better. Evil yet still cartoonish
-
Ledger.. all the way...
-
this joker is the perfect match for synder's affleck dark night returns batman but the j e w from marvel ruined everything with marvel cornball jokes in JL.
-
This is going to be really good. I can feel it.

He's only 44? Whew.

Ledger.. all the way...
Really? I’d go Cesar Romero all day long.

He's also aging for River.

I walked through a couple of on location sets when they were filming this. While I didn't see any acting, they were doing a good job on costuming, set dressing, etc.... which is a good sign.
-
This movie looks very interesting. Some people shit on Joaquin Phoenix but I like him.
I like that they are making him crazy but he seems like a little too much of a sympathetic character.
Looking forward to seeing it. Other recent DC movies suck cock. Suicide Squad was fucking retarded. Wonder Woman was good.

in Phoenix defense, it looks like he had to get insanely skinny for that role (especially the scene when you see his spine, and his lack of shoulder width), so it will make anyone look like they are meth addicts
-
from the director of hangover!
-
Notice all the street thugs are WHITE. Looks like trash.
-
Phoenix is one of the top actors. He will do great. Agree with War that it does appear they are using the method of trying to make the bad guy look too sympathetic.
-

::)
show me batman/joker movie, animation, etc. where 99% of the thugs and villains weren't white.

I think it looks interesting but Nicholson was born to play the joker

kids taking his sign and hitting him with it in the beginning of the trailer doesnt look white to me, one of them even sport an afro.

Probably not all of them, but almost all. Hollywood refuses to depict blacks in a realistic way.

They wanted to get him to do it again but there's that being dead thing.

Joaquin showed some serious Christian Bale Machinist-dedication for this movie!
Watch the trailer and see how much weight he dropped for the Joker role!

He better be careful playing that role as Nicholson warned Ledger right before he died. There is something about playing that character that drives actors crazy. The Joker may be the best villain of all in comic history.

Walk The Line is great as are a lot of his films. Fantastic actor. Most people with a cleft lip wouldn't even think of going into acting for a profession but it hasn't hurt him at all plus his upbringing was totally fucked up as well. Overcame a lot.

Never thought about that. You're right someone with a cleft lip would typically be too insecure to even think about acting in movies. He's worked the lip well.

Good lord, the kid in the middle and the chunky fuck on the right in the front of the 2nd pic look like they are 14.
Truly sad how their "culture" is, and mom's are proud of their babies. :'(

His gma is 45yo, haha.
-
It seems interesting, but the guy is getting his ass kicked left and right. It would have been better to show him get beat up a couple of times, then go savage on his former bullies with all manner of the ol' *ultra violence,* a'la Alex DeLarge from "A Clockwork Orange."

I think he WILL go savage on some of them, but it's not shown in the trailer, just some blood shown on his face.
Have to wait until release.
Let's see how brave Hollywood is regarding this movie, and if the scene with the chainsaw will still be in.

That is a good thing. I’m glad that the trailer did not show too much of the movie.

this!!! Fuck Ledger!!!....Nicholson WAS STILL THE BEST!!!!
Hmm? I think both characters were too different to be compared, honestly.
I really couldn't stand the "Ledger's Joker blew away Nicholson's version!"
Pfft...if Al Pacino could get an Academy Award nod for his 1990 role as Alphonse "Big Boy" Caprice in Dick Tracy, I think Nicholson should have been nominated as well. But, as some may know, Nicholson was first-billed in the 1989 Batman movie...so he was technically an actor in a leading role. Maybe that was why he didn't get a nomination, as such a character was not regarded as appropriate fare for a Best Actor nod...whereas Pacino was a clear supporting character, getting him the nomination.
In other words - Nicholson did an amazing job, IMO. That was the first movie I saw in Thunder Bay, when I moved here in 1989, when I was seven years old. I remember the whole theatre laughing when The Joker pulled out that super long gun, lol.
I recently bought a 75" TV [it was a 2018 clear-out model that was $1,000 off]. How big were movie screens at the time? Like 200"? Probably not very big at all.
That all said, I do think Ledger did very well as The Joker. But still - he was too different from Nicholson's Joker to be compared. I also think Ledger intentionally put himself into psychosist with the various drug cocktails that ultimately killed him.
I can't stand when people make comments about "Person A *blowing away* Person B", as many said Ledger's Joker blew away Nicholson's Joker.
They were just too different. And, both were excellent - again, IMO.

It's very apparent that thug culture is the dominant black culture. Ignorance, hyper-sexuality, drugs, criminality. Fuck you, I'm gonna get mine.

Dindu behavior like that can get you killed.
-
This script seems to draw from 1988's Killing Joke graphic novel at least a little. In that one the Joker is basically a nibbishy guy beaten down by life, that falls in with the Mob for one stick up that goes awry. So the concept of a soft Joker origin isn't entirely unknown. Also Phoenix doesn't do sequels, so they probably are taking a lot of leeway because it's a one and done film.

how did a thread about the joker movie come to be about that dead rapper on the plane? who already have his own thread by the way
are we going to judge all rappers or all african americans because of the behaviour of this one african american rapper? that seems pretty silly.

Amazing movie. Jerry plays a PRICK perfectly ( no acting needed.)

de niro is in the joker movie as well
-

Because Hollywood insists on pretending that white guys are violent street thugs at the expense of reality.
Everyone knows this so lets get this back on to the topic of this movie. My bad.

The buzz is strong.
The script leaked :o, but I can't find it. I think the director claims there are changes not in leaked script.

There is a movie he did on Amazon called You were never here. I’d suggest everyone on here watch it ASAP. It’s really really good. Especially for free.

Some camcordered scenes from a screening got posted online a few weeks ago, and it does look really good. Far more Scorsese's Taxi Driver meets The King of Comedy, than you'd think. They really gave off a late 70's, early 80's vibe.
P.S. Becareful if you see the bootleg scenes posted though, they give away a few major moments in the film.

Army warns soldiers about copycat shootings at 'Joker' screenings
Gizmodo obtained the memorandum that was circulated by the military about "incel" extremists wanting to replicate the 2012 Aurora, Colo. mass shooting when a gunman killed 12 people and injured 70 during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises.
"Incels are individuals who express frustration from perceived disadvantages to starting intimate relationships. Incel extremists idolize violent individuals like the Aurora movie theater shooter," the document read. "They also idolize the Joker character, the violent clown from the Batman series, admiring his depiction as a man who must pretend to be happy, but eventually fights back against his bullies.
"When entering theaters, identify two escape routes, remain aware of your surroundings, and remember the phrase 'run, hide, fight,'" it continued. "Run if you can. If you’re stuck, hide (also referred to as “sheltering in place”), and stay quiet. If a shooter finds you, fight with whatever you can."

Just saw it. I liked it, but I don't see it being as great as the reviews are making it out to be. It's a nice little treat for fans of old 70's, early 80's noir films, but that also works against it as you'll see the homages to other films quickly. Lots of Taxi Driver and King of Comedy references in there. I also see some Abel Ferrara in there, and maybe some George Romero. Without giving too much away, some of the mental health scenes remind me of Romero's "Martin". Another stray thought, in the scenes with Deniro, Phoenix goes a little Paul Lynde or Divine -ish in the voice and mannerisms.
Perhaps the people rating it as they are just haven't seen enough other stuff. Still it's a good 7 - 8 / 10 film for me. I also don't see it as a incel or right wing film, if anything it could be seen just as strongly as a social justice film.
-
Just got back from seeing it and I fucking loved it. About a half hour in, I was starting to get concerned. They spent a lot of time on the "poor Arthur" character development and quite frankly some of it could have been cut.
Thankfully it picked up and it picked up quick. I'll save the spoiler talk until after more people have had time to see it. There might have been a few too many homages but it was still a unique film.

I thought it was actually PG, given there was a clown in the movie. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️

9.1/10 on IMDB (great), 69% on Rotten Tomato (average), 58% on Metacritic (shitty), what gives?

The worst movie ever, slow, dark, and violent. Terrible.

I've heard that some people have come to believe that it is all in his head.
Did you guys come to that conclusion?
I couldn't get out to see it.
I'm not going until this weekend.

A couple people in here haven't watched a serious movie in a long time. Not all of us have ADHD or whatever the problem is.
Go watch "The Goldfinch"(also a great movie) if you think this movie was slow paced.

It's possible. There are a few twists like that as far as relationships and even situations.
-

Boy that movie SUCKED >:(
Why did it suck? Why post?
How would you be surprised that this was a slow, dark, violent movie? Doesn't even make sense if you know anything about the character or saw a trailer. Baffling really.
-
They say liberals and SJWs won't like it, how come?
It's a white guy anti-hero, who actually winds up standing up for himself and others in a twisted way. You can't have that anymore.
It actually works better as a social justice film. The whole film is about a sickly boy, who grows up to be a sickly man, beaten down by a social system that cares more about profit than actually making people well. Most of the victims in the film are rich white men or authority figures.
----------------------------------------
One of the major relationships is definitely in his head, and when he figures it out, you'll see more of a change in him. I don't think it was all imagination, but there were certainly delusions.
This is another area where you'll see the "Taxi Driver" influence. There is a faction of film buffs that think Bickle was having one big delusion, and the story never happened. There are also those that wonder "What if Bickle took a more violent turn?" or if Bickle would be content with the cool hero status he receives at the end of the film or would he mentally break down further? Well the Joker sorta runs with some of those themes, albeit in a more fantastical setting.
It's a good film.

Same here. It was a refreshing to see a movie take place on actual location and sets and not in front of a green screen. Question for you (Spoilers)

Did you see if the Joker was the one who shot the guy and subway, making everyone think the detective did thus setting things off? I thought the detective did it but it happened so fast now I'm wondering if I missed something

I think the guy was trying to wrestle the gun away from the cop and it went off. That's what I remember anyway. Not 100% sure but I think that's what happened.

It was dreadfully slow, dark, not for children of any age.
If you knew the Joker, he is nothing like the Joker.

Is it clear what is imagination and what is real, or could everything be imagination?
Did he not have a relationship? Did people not bully him? Was he never a clown?

Joker is a homicidal maniac pretty much always has been. This version wasn't as cornball as some comic incarnations of the Joker and he wasn't as heavily stylized as the Heath Ledger Joker. It was just what I wanted.
I love on location shooting. I absolutely hate sound stage movies and green screen. This movie felt even more real to me than The Dark Knight......and I really liked that.
A Joker movie that was made for kids is of no interest to me. To each their own though. This is what I like, but it doesn't bother me if other people don't like it.

I understand some people left the movie early because of the violence :'(
I left the movie early but not because of the violence ::)
I was looking forward to the movie and had high hopes because it kept referencing King of Comedy which is one of my favorite films.
I left the movie early because once I become aware that my "suspension of disbelief" has been burst, I can no longer enjoy a film. And that's what happened during the scene at the television program near the end. It was just plain stupid to me and unbelievable (in a bad way).
So I left.
-
Hahahaha. Rated R movie snowflake.
I was obviously joking. I thought it was a fantastic movie.
What I liked most was his body language—it was creepy in a compelling way.

So is it very violent? The trailer made it look like he was going to be humiliated and have his ass kicked but didn't hit at any real blood and guts stuff.
-

Did he not have a relationship? Did people not bully him? Was he never a clown?
Can't say without spoilers, but the parts that seem the most delusional clearly unfold that way for the most part as the film goes along.

Violent, but not gory. Pretty standard film murders, perhaps 10 - 12 people die throughout the whole film, most in pretty quick scenes.
-
The violence of this movie is an interesting topic. There isn't that much violence, but the violence is realistic and so it affects you differently than your standard action film violence.
The movie Commando, for example, has an obscene amount of killing in it. For some reason that's fun. It doesn't feel like really human beings getting getting murdered.
Joker does. It's a very angry deranged person taking out a lifetime of frustration out on a few people. For me it felt very real. This movie was borderline scary. This isn't a comic book movie, it's a real movie.
Yes it's slow.......but I like slow movies. It's a slow build and in my opinion it was handled masterfully.
-

Yes, of course I saw it. I wouldn't be talking about it otherwise.
Again, not a PG movie to beat a dead horse silly.
Not like the Joker? I've seen every Batman movie in the theater. Every Batman 60s show. Frank Miller comics. Be gone.

That's what I was hoping, a slow burn and then a proper pay-off at the end when he finally becomes The Joker.

Cool, thanks for the response bro. When I saw the trailer I was worried the whole thing would just be him getting victimised with no actual portrayal of The Joker as we know him.
-
Thanks to each of your pro and con remarks .... I guess I'll go and see The Joker now!
I was somewhat reluctant to go and see it this weekend because someone said someone was gonna shoot me... (as if I hadn't heard that one before!)
So I stayed home and watched 'WILD CARD' which I actually enjoyed.
And hereby rcommend it.

JOS, The 'he' was many 'he's" and I was not the specific target .... but according to some violence claims during the showing of this movie ... here in Las Vegas each theater provided extra security/protection.
But as far as I know ... no one got killed in any LV theater this past weekend.

Saw it earlier. Very good movie. It's clearly heavily inspired by Taxi Driver, but it doesn't have the same impact. Taxi Driver hits like a train; this doesn't as it lacks the realism, but it highlights important issues and breathes new life into a boring genre. Great acting, too. They took a risk in making this in today's victimhood culture and they deserve a lot of credit for doing so.

seems to me they just stole the plot of Taxi Driver...

Style over substance, but fantastic style! Every time the joker is walking anywhere, we get pounding, ominous music, and a variety of shots. Yet you step back and realize its a crazy guy that lives with his mother walking down the street to his dead end job. The movie would stay an introspective portrait of mental illness until an awkward and forced plot twist gives the movie some legs. Sorry if this is a spoiler, but the basic backdrop of the movie is that a crazy guy in a clown mask who talks to himself on the bus and laughs uncontrollably gets fucked with all the time on the street by bullies, until he shoots and kills some assholes bullying and beating him up on the subway. When the news reports that the deceased were rich stock assholes or something that worked for Wayne industries, the entire city begins putting on clown masks and chanting "Kill the rich", because of a depressed economy, making the nutcase a cult, underground hero, sort of in the traditional of Natural Born Killers, but without the good script, logical plot points and character development. But if you can just sit back with popcorn(especially with a little cannabis butter on it), you will get into a very strong method performance by Phoenix, and a VERY good musical score and direction, that creates an intensity that carries the film when the script cannot.
By the way, as several have mentioned, the film HEAVILY borrows from its ancestors like King of Comedy, Taxi Driver and even Network. Even an implicit reference to Bernard Goetz and the subway murders of the 80s.
-

Kinda. Taxi Driver is my favourite film, but it's hard to try and make any articulate points about the comparison without sitting down and thinking about it. I guess it's more like they paid close attention to what it was about Taxi Driver that hit people so hard and then tried to apply it to something a little different. They didn't quite pull it off but there's some obvious imitations of Travis Bickle and the sudden bursts of explicit violence that made the film so controversial at the time. I could see how some people might worry about it making already maladjusted Getbiggers go spastic, but it raises some important points about mental illness. Def worth a watch.

Ronnie,
When I saw Heath Ledger play the role of Joker, I was downright amazed. I had never seen another actor embrace and become a character as much as he did.
Tell me if you thought Phoenix did similar or if he possibly surpassed what Ledger did.

To be honest the latest movie is a steal from King of Comedy, the scenes are virtually the same, its not very original in that aspect

I can appreciate that Ledger seemed comedic, but it almost seemed as if his real life depression seeped through into the character, which in turn made you feel it a bit more.
But compared to Ledger's performance, would you say that Phoenix has picked up the torch where Ledger left off?

Phoenix is better than Ledger, its way more intense..and hes actually acting as opposed to Ledger showing signs of himself through the role
if you understand interpretive dance then you really feel the characters pain in the latest movie, (the scene in the toilets after the subway)

While Phoenix's body of work certainly suggests that he is a better actor than Ledger was, I'll have to watch the movie and see for myself. I am excited and appreciate everyone's input regarding Phoenix's performance. For a while there, I worried that no one else would be able to truly encapsulate the dark nature of the joker the way Ledger did.
Regarding interpretive dance, the best example I can remember watching in person was during Duncan Sheik's Spring Awakening while it aired on Broadway back during circa 2005-2006. Short of that, I can't say I have more experience with the art. Favorite piece that was performed was "the guilty ones".

Pheonix is brilliant. Don't think I've watched any of his other films, but I want to now after seeing this performance.
-
One thing to note is that the slow physical acting in this new movie is unlike the others who have done the character, and to me that is the real stretch that the actor made. There are times where it is quiet and nearly pantomime.
-

I watched Phoenix last night in YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE and I have no idea what that was about beyond his loss of the girl he saved.
Any explanation of that one would be appreciated.

Haha! DeNerdo got shot in the head by Joker! Haha!

EXCELLENT movie.
Dark, disturbed and grimy.
Phoenix’s acting is very good, yes, but as most here know, I’m not all that impressed with acting as a talent/skill. Some are better than others, but a majority of people can act and be quite decent. And with zero training. You just can’t be self conscious. Pretend.
In film, I am impressed with all the folks BEHIND the camera: writers, set design, directors, editors, costuming/makeup, cinematographers, etc.
That’s where the real talent is.
-
JOSWIFT, Thanks! That explanation helped immensely ... but I think it would have been a better ending if we saw the young girl slice the governors's throat up close and personal ... instead of having to figure it out without the visualization of that rightious deed.
As a way of saying,"Thanks!", I'd like to recommend a decent movie entitled "LAND OF MINE" ... which has a clear and evident ending and which I think you'll enjoy immensely.
Especially if you've ever had the 'enjoyment' of clearing a minefield such as the dud-field I and others cleared years ago when even a small but non-injurous 'pop' would encourage you to shit your nickkers!
Thanks, again!
-
FORTRESS, It sounds like you were/are in the motion picture mking business and I gotta agree with ya ..... almost....... and say .....
A HELL OF A LOT of the real talent goes to the crew behind the cameras with no discedit to those who appar on screen.
I have family members in the business and I'm always amazed when they become someone else at family gatheings while preparing for their next big role.
My only complaint is that those behind the camera don't get that rolling credit that they rightfully deserve.
For example... I held the surfboard and made it move in a super-hero movie, but I was'incognito' when the credits rolled.
Not even a "Thank you!" at the AA.
So I hung up my hat on the sound-stage door and retired!
Thanks for mentioning those behind the scenes!

I agree acting is massively over-rated and they take what they do so seriously it is ridiculous. Always having award shows and going on about how wonderful they are. My view is anyone with half a brain can act, just need confidence to do it in front of loads of people. Most actors play the same character in every film so they are just playing themselves really. Look at Micheal Caine, exactly the same in every film! Loads more are the same. Looks like Joker is different and Phoenix actually immersing himself in the role, actually takes some skill.

Largely down to looks I would say. Charisma certainly helps but I only find a small group of actors charismatic. Robert De Niro for instance, I always used to like that guy although bad film choices have hurt his appeal. I do take your point, I am being a little unfair here it's just pompous actors constantly slapping each others backs pisses me off. Lots of other professions I really admire, that take bundles of heart and skill, jobs that make a huge difference to actual people every day, yet they don't enjoy the sycophantic adulation that actors do for reading some lines and pretending to be someone else!!

agreed, but to get into the movies in the first place helps if you are in the know
Many more potentially great actors just dont get the breaks
And most great actors tend to be one trick ponies
Antonhy Hopkins is the exception, hes believable in any role hes in, he lamost becomes the character.

I thought this guy did a great job as the Joker, enjoyed the movie. The bar is pretty low these days as most movies are terrible.
But nice job by Whah-Kheem… seeing Ghey Bob DeNiro getting his head blown off was good, even if it was fake. (The hollyweird retard that he is).
-
Good acting, but frankly, I was bored by the whole movie and just wanted it to finally end.
Wasn't as graphic as all the hype.
There were no real surprises, other than the girlfriend angle and the revelation about his childhood.
The midget lock scene was the best.

NOTE: SPOILER ALERT !!!
I think that this was discussed earlier, but here in 'real Las Vega life' a good number of the local Joker move fans failed to notice the bloody footprints as he walked down the hallway at the end.
Apparently he killed her, but can any Joker movie fan explain why as she seemed to be attempting to help him out?
As as most of you Joker movie fans ae alread aware .... a lot of what appears on sceen was only 'real' within his imagination. Does anyone disagree with that?
I figured that out the first moment he met his female neighbor in the elevator, but a lot of movie fans continue to say that everything was real and not a figment of his imagination.
And no one here in real life has even attempted to explain the Keystone-Cops-style-chase-scene at the movie's concluso.

Maybe because he was never really there/you were never really here.

I figure only the “girlfriend angle” was in his imagination.
Note: Acting is a super easy “skill”. There are better and worse, but at its base, a majority can act quite decently. Hell, kids with zero training act alongside “serious thespians” in major motion pictures and do fine. Rappers transition easily into TV and film. Models and discovered-on-the-street folks enter the industry without a hitch. Pop stars star opposite screen idols and get nominated for Oscars. What most consider great acting is rather a character/story/dialogue they enjoy and the appearance/mannerisms of the performer.

True. Acting is probably also the easiest job on the set as well. Directors, producers, cameramen, sound people, make up artists probably all work longer hours than the actor, especially directors.

Maybe because he was never really there/you were never really here.

I figure only the “girlfriend angle” was in his imagination.
Note: Acting is a super easy “skill”. There are better and worse, but at its base, a majority can act quite decently. Hell, kids with zero training act alongside “serious thespians” in major motion pictures and do fine. Rappers transition easily into TV and film. Models and discovered-on-the-street folks enter the industry without a hitch. Pop stars star opposite screen idols and get nominated for Oscars. What most consider great acting is rather a character/story/dialogue they enjoy and the appearance/mannerisms of the performer.
I agree 100%
-
Shit was intense and gloomy. Not intense as in action, but leaving you in suspense waiting for “it” to happen. Certainly not a feel good movie, but a great portrayal of someone with mental issues. I thought of it similar to American Psycho, just without the T&A.

It’s absolutely awesome. Watch it man. Trust me

This movie proves us getbiggers wrong; one doesn't need wide clavicles to achieve success. :D

Joaquin Phoenix has a cleft lip, scoliosis looking spine and is a generally scrawny and physically unattractive person and has bypassed all of it for success in Hollywood. He also has plowed more tail than most men will ever get (getbiggers not included). He has either enormous talent, incredible drive or both.
-
Great actor, but I doubt he is getting quality tail.
Even his dead brother had terrible taste in women.
His longtime girlfriend before his overdose.

frigging beautiful movie. great cinema and an incredible Phoenix juggernaut whoa! give the man whatever trophies are out there already. watched it finally last night and going to let it settle in before I go watch it again. this is one you gotta watch at the cinemas and not on a TV. what a departure from his Hangover movies for this director. kudos!
EDIT: forgot to mention the incredible soundtrack.

I'm going to report myself for the gay comment, but the guy looked like a model in his younger years.

He is on a list of actors who have had the most lovers in Hollywood. Someone posted it on getbig a year or so ago. Joaquin was number 1 or 2 with like 76 Hollywood women he's plowed. He is currently living with Rooney Mara who is not everyone's cup of tea but still an actress. Pretty sure he was nailing Bryce Dallas Howard before and during filming of The Village.

It's the lip. They asked his favorite thing when relaxing and he said women. Claimed to have been plunged himself into 76 across the metropolitan area. They said christ Joaquin that's disgusting.
He said nawww. 'Women. You know. 'Women pools!

In Joker's case he has deformed clavicles
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHH

You probably have super confidence with women when you've been getting laid since you were barely out of diapers.
-
Being rich and an acknowledged actor surely has its perks (if you can manage it mentally).
Fame and Wealth can make you go very far.
Things not usually/normally attractive can make you look special/unique and extravagant.
When you are rich/famous, you are extravagant instead of weird.

When I told everyone I was going to tell the old hairlip joke on Getbig about Joaquin liking wimmin' they all laughed at me.

AND ... His first appearence on the Murray Show when Murray invited him down from the audiance and ended up giving him a big hug ... definitely had to be a figment of his imagnation.
-
Yes he had father fantasies about Murray and Wayne. Oedipus wrecks 'em.

So, which is it?

Of course. Do we need to question such an obvious plot point?

Lol, you didn’t notice the fantasy end, and flashback to the hospital? ??? ???

Saw it tonight after so many friends gave it rave reviews. That might have been the problem because I saw it as an OK movie. Maybe had I not expected the movie of the year from the friends reviews I might have been more impressed.

Ronnie,
When I saw Heath Ledger play the role of Joker, I was downright amazed. I had never seen another actor embrace and become a character as much as he did.
Tell me if you thought Phoenix did similar or if he possibly surpassed what Ledger did.
(http://i.ytimg.com/vi/lbKPeycs8Dg/maxresdefault.jpg)
Either way, excited to see it.

I've seen both and just saw Joker tonight. What I would have liked to see is Ledger in this role. I think his Joker is the best to date. Phoenix did a great job don't get me wrong, but for me he lacked the intensity Ledger brought.
-
NOTE: SPOILER ALERT !!!
I think that this was discussed earlier, but here in 'real Las Vega life' a good number of the local Joker move fans failed to notice the bloody footprints as he walked down the hallway at the end.
Apparently he killed her, but can any Joker movie fan explain why as she seemed to be attempting to help him out?
As as most of you Joker movie fans ae alread aware .... a lot of what appears on sceen was only 'real' within his imagination. Does anyone disagree with that?
I figured that out the first moment he met his female neighbor in the elevator, but a lot of movie fans continue to say that everything was real and not a figment of his imagination.
And no one here in real life has even attempted to explain the Keystone-Cops-style-chase-scene at the movie's concluso.
I knew from point A his relationship with the girl was his imagination. Sure, I can believe he just walked into a side door of the theater with no security while a protest was going on outside but a reasonably hot chick with a child interested in a guy who lives with his mom... not gonna happen
-
Watched it today, excellent film.

I've yet to see the movie, so I can't really judge Phoenix's performance yet.
But I can understand how you felt regarding Ledger's performance. I think his intensity was palpable. Granted, the soundtrack also helped in a big way as a supporting medium for his persona, but nonetheless, unlike any other portrayal I've seen to date of the Joker. Everything from the way he looked, the way his voice sounded, to even the deranged appearance he truly had. I truly feel that his real-life depression and drug abuse issues where spilling onto the big screen and that the character portrayal served as a partial outlet for his reality.

unoriginal film, remake of Taxi Driver mixed with King of Comedy
Phoenix is great in the role though..

Phoenix DID everything he could for this role.
He even skipped out on his daily Popeyes Chicken dinners!
Such dedication is rarely seen these days.

Exactly and Dinero was in each of them.

Joaquin Phoenix was brilliant. On par with Ledger's Joker. I prefer Phoenix because his was closer to reality. Every one of his victims, "had it coming".
WallStreet schmucks
His adopted mother
Randall
And finally "Mur-Ray"
The writers knew what they were doing blurring the lines and providing psychotic justification.
Lesson learned....Treat others as you want to be treated. You can push incels only so far before they push back...."And ya get what ya fuckin' deserve!"
:-*

I did not find it an "enjoyable" movie and Joaquin Phoenix was great portraying such a creepy character. I was expecting a more easy, action-type movie like Bat Man that I could just sit back and relax and enjoy. It was pretty deep and disturbing. I did relish the part when he put a bullet in Dinero's head.

Started watching it last night after our festivities and have to admit I got about 20 or so minutes in and fell asleep... :P (whining tires me)
When does the retribution start please..? (In the film, not for me falling asleep ;D)
-
If you read up a little before heading out to the movies, you should have a pretty good idea what it is about. Everything I've read and heard about the Joker indicated it is a psychological thriller and not an 'action' film.

They keep it in the slow cooker quite awhile. Don't go in looking for a rollercoaster ride on a supervillain's intricate scheme.

So far my desire to see this film is about the same as it would be to date any version of Bruce Jenner or any of the Karbdashian females, which is to say totally non-existent. I also have never seen any version of "IT".
To be honest, I prefer Mark Hamill's voicing of the character in some of the animated Batman shows.
I was grossed out by Jared Leto's interpretation of the Joker in "Suicide Squad" and in all honesty I was momentarily lobotomized by that film. Dumb flick and I was dumber to buy it, albeit for $10 on BluRay.

It's not bad. The 3 hours is a little long but it doesn't drag.
I think the Christian Bale/Christopher Nolan series were great, so if you go in comparing this to those it may be disappointing. You have to view it as it's own character.
Its worth seeing.
-
I'm batmanned out tbh.

zac fixed the SS's joker in one scene. it's a paradox, so why we can't see batfleck and him in a standalone?
I don't know keoghan so the jury is still out on his joker.
kravitz blows as catwoman, just like i thought she would.

one of my favorite movies the joker was definitely a getbigger at heart.
