Haven’t watched Joaquin’s joker, worth it?

Yes. Not really a comic film, more like addressing the darkness of mental illness.

I thought it was good, not the amazing film the critics made it out to be, but good. Ending was pretty cool.

And he'll be 70 by the time Batman appears.

Taxi Driver did it better. Totally overhyped film, still good, but not great or Oscar worthy at all.

The ending is amazing. But the audience feels sorry for him throughout, he's a goof, I don't see how this man became The Joker, the arch-villain. And yeah, he'd be 70 once Bruce Wayne started becoming Batman.

Edit: Also, he's basically the leader of Antifa. It's totally not self aware or red-pilled at all.

That’s the thing though, (spoiler ahead!) the final bit of the movie reveals him to be an unreliable narrator, so the audience has no absolute sense of what is real and what is not. The whole movie could be a lie. To me, it doesn’t rule out the his ability to mastermind anything. It is after all, an origin story.

Yea, though I suppose that could come in future movies possibly.

I loved it. I feel like they were trying to warp politics in the background in a way I vehemently disagree with, but it's easy to ignore. The real message is a good one, IMO.

It was fake news hyping up something that was not political.
