I really wanted this movie to be good, but
but I have to be honest, I just didn’t like this one. My actual rating would probably be around a 4 or 5, but I’m giving it a 6 because I know this movie will get a lot of downvotes, and it has some merit. First it seemed that the musical promoting Lady Gaga’s "new album" than the dark psychological thriller I was expecting. Don’t get me wrong, Gaga is talented and her performance was solid, but the over the top musical numbers really ruined the mood. This is not the kind of movie I want to be in the middle of a Broadway show. It just ruins the atmosphere and tension that worked so well in the first Joker movie.
Incredibly, some people even fell asleep during the movie!
One thing I’ve never seen before: so many people left the theater before the movie was over. The pacing was slow, and it lacked the intense energy that made the original Joker engaging from start to finish. On the plus side, the cinematography was beautiful and Joaquin Phoenix is still great as Arthur Fleck. There was acting, I have no doubt about that. But even with these strong elements, something didn’t work. The movie felt too long and at the end it just seemed to lose its direction.
