I've just stepped out of the cinema having watched the worst movie of the year. I feel like the director has played me for a fool. I feel like the joke here.

Joaquin Phoenix must want to shake Todd Phillips till his eyes pop out his head for he went 100% down the rabbit hole to create this performance - only for a horrendously bad director, languid editing, and a screenplay-by-numbers to fail this picture into the miserable, sodden, car-crash of a film it is.

The last time I felt so vitriolic after a 'much-hyped' film was Guy Ritchie's Revolver. Another stinker for the ages.

I particularly feel like a joke has been had at my expense by the presence of Robert De Niro, who must have had deja vu cashing his paycheck reminiscing back to his (actually a good film) The King of Comedy.

This film tries to marry that Rupert character to Taxi Driver and comes up with garbage. Much like the garbage epidemic denoted in the plot itself.

I paid 8 pounds to see this. You'd have to pay me 800 to watch it again.

It almost worked for a few minutes during the scenes with Bobby D's Johnny Carson bit. Almost. The rest was as predictable yet immensely tedious as it could be without me being handed a copy of the script on the way in.

Do yourself a favour... Don't ruin your opinion of Joaquin Phoenix by seeing this. It doesn't feel like he is to blame here. But it's best to just steer clear of the movie altogether. It offers nothing to the DC universe. It offers nothing to the Batman legacy. It actively dishounours the greatness of Heath Ledger, Jack Nicholson, Cesar Romero and all future Jokers.

This film itself IS the joker.

Utter crap.


3/10 - for the attempts made by Joaquin Phoenix saving it from 1/10.

@rcarter25 No way man, check my history. I don't do review hit jobs.<br /> <br /> This film had a couple of moments where it tried to be clever and it failed miserably. Anyone who rates this film, they're buying hype.<br /> <br /> <br /> I gave kudos to Joaquin Phoenix for his acting - he really delivered. But he delivered in a crap film. I feel bad for him. He will look back on this as a major letdown. <br /> <br /> <br /> You'd have to nail me to a chair to watch this again.<br /> <br /> <br /> There's some scam going with reviews. It's like payola back in the radio singles days. Suicide Squad got the same and that was crap too. <br /> <br /> <br /> Just because a movie is 'dark' doesn't make it the quality of a Nolan film. They market them all as if that's what made the Nolan films good. It wasn't - plot, direction, cinematography, as well as acting - all contribute to make the whole. <br /> <br /> <br /> Gotham was gritty but I've seen more believability in The Deuce. Dark and gritty doesn't mean it just 'works'. <br /> <br /> <br /> Anyway, each to their own. I though Ad Astra was as bad a letdown as this year could produce but this Turkey arrived a month early for Thanksgiving!

@porteruk you're sure we watched the same Joker movie? were you seated with the front toward the theater screen or away from it? There is nothing wrong with the reviews here, your review is the one that smells fishy... you've done nothing but bad mouth the film but you've barely explained what exactly dissatisfied you... I really hope nobody takes you seriously and gives this film the chance it deserves...

@porteruk I totally agree with you. Horrible movie. 38 minutes in, I was like, it's the Joker, something has to happen, but it does not. People that rate this movie excellent are jumping on the hype of how it talks about mental disorders and peoples pain. If you want to cover that , do an intense documentary. Don't do a 90 minute backstory that can be done in 7 min. Since it's the Joker, it's expected to sell a lot the first week. If I make a new Avengers movie for 8 million dollars. I bet you it will make at least 80 million that weekend. Just enough to get all the die hard fans. Then after that sales will plummet. Joaquin Phoenix did a great job, but it was a horribly written movie.
