They seem really generous with their scoring

Yeah, I read that on there; I guess I should have said the audiences they polled are really generous with their scoring
The fact their audience gave Catwoman, one of the most embarrassingly bad things I have ever seen, a B means literally everything that comes from them is useless. What an astonishing fuck up, that film is every single thing wrong with bad comic book movies distilled it’s an embarrassment that should’ve ended careers.
That’s surprising. First one was good.
First one was depressing. Awfully depressing. It was poignant and well done but I can’t rewatch it because I have to gear up to be ready for it.
The second one is a musical. I’m not sure anyone is ready for that after the first one.
It’s weird. I watch the first Joker like three times so far. Haven’t seen the second. Now, Requiem for a Dream, that’s a hard watch for me.
I put Requiem in the category movies of “Best Films I’ll Never See Again”. “The Skin I Live In” is in there too.
I’m actually interested in watching the first one just to see this musical, had zero interest in the franchise before.
First film was a great film if it were new IP, but a shit joker batman film. The second film was always likely to be shit, because they were always going for abstract and avant garde artistry without a clear connection to the underlying and far stronger story and IP people are expecting. I’m sure it’s a beautiful film and musical, but it’s dog shit attached to joker.
I didn’t even view the first as anything related to Batman. Just a standalone movie to me.
That’s what it was supposed to be, a gritty disconnected story about what a more realistic take on a joker would be, don’t think batman or super heroes was supposed to be in either one, not sure where that commenter is coming from.
There are a handful of singing renditions and dressed up numbers with the two main actors.
Everyone’s shitting on the movie. I haven’t seen it yet, but damn…
I’ve just seen it. It’s better than the reviews would suggest, but it’s not without flaws or quirks.
If you went into it expecting ‘more of Joker 1’ in terms of a straight, by the numbers sequel, you might very well come out disappointed. And there’s no denying that there’s a lot of singing in it, which inherently puts some people off. But if you’re willing to have an open mind, there’s a lot to love here.
I’ve seen terribly reviewed movies that I loved and well reviewed movies that I’ve hated. At the end of the day, it’s all someone else’s opinion anyway.
Yep, Joker 2 is terrible, IMO But, IMO, it already showed signs of no purpose in the first movie.
Good cinematography means nothing if the movie is empty. And the first one already made me feel like they were trying to sell me a concept that was impossible.
The second one doesn’t even have a concept. It just has depressing musical numbers. Any possibility of a good storyline is dumped so they can show more memeable joker reels.
So, to me, a terrible rating is completely justified.
Wow, worse than the first Suicide Squad?
Having watched both I would much rather watch both Joker movies several times than any of the suicide squads movies. None are perfect but if you know the story and where the character is supposed to exist it’s a good story across both.
