Bravo to the both of you for being empathetic enough to understand, early on, Arthur's state of mind. Too few people tend to realize that every expression of emotion in him is done through laughter, so it constantly calls into question what Arthur is truly feeling when we see him laugh. But, Joaquin's Oscar worthy acting lets us know... if you watch closely. This is one of a handful of movies I can't watch without crying. Brilliant.
This is a literary device called "unreliable narrator". Since we see everything from Arthur's point of view and Arthur hallucinates, we can't really know what's real and what's not.
This movie is really good, i watched it last year for first time Its uncomfortably good, and we can just pretend this is a stand alone movie, no sequel exists
Uhhh they clearly didn't care about making money with the direction they took. My feeling is that WB basically forced Todd Phillips to make a sequel and he said "Fine" and went the route he did as a "fuck you" to them.
Not really the best part but the only enjoyable aspect in my opinion. Or well maybe you can make an argument that some of the musical numbers featuring Joker and Harley are great, but in my opinion only the courtroom musical scene is good.
What’s so amazing about a socially awkward mentally ill guy shooting someone in the face because they made light of their horrible stand up routine. And he straight up murders his mother. Yeah screw that Arthur guy.
Yes, you WILL suffocate inside a fridge. That's why you knock the door off if you're pitching one out. Kids will play inside it and get trapped when it falls over door-side down.
But there wasn't any fourth wall breaking or corny jokes every 30 seconds! /s I agree, Folie a Deux is a well made movie and definitely not conventional by any means. I can understand it being a hard pill to swallow.
Its objectively bad, Arthur ended on the first movie turning into the joker persona, the second movie undid all of that just because of political reasons
Joker 2 shouldn't have been a sequel to Joker, it would have been a lot better if it didn't rely so much on the exposure of Joker and was its own thing entirely. The first half of the movie is pretty solid, and I actually really enjoyed most of the musical scenes, but the second half is all over the place and feels like a waste of time.
"At least he's on tv", bro, think about it for a sec, you were made fun of by your "role model, your hero", Murray, after your whole life/world is crashing down, do you think he'd be "happy" about being on tv?
Almost every reactor seems to completely fail to notice that Arthur isn't the least bit excited when he's being invited on the show. As tenuous as his grip on reality was, he knew all along that he was only being invited on the show to be mocked and humiliated.
@@lunarlad8075 you "guarantee"? I hope you're not in sales lmao. ***SPOILER ALERT*** They start in an asylum where he tells jokes for cigarettes, he meets a pretend-psycho who's actually a psychologist in a music class that he's apparently allowed to go to even tho he's been deemed fit to stand trial for 5 murders (even tho he's committed 6 but nobody knows that he killed his mother), he spends too much time in court where he fires his lawyer and defends himself in court dressed as Joker where he then announces that there was never a Joker but only Arthur. The courthouse gets bombed, he escapes, he's saved by a goon but runs away from them to be caught again by police. He's sent back to the asylum even tho he's up for the death penalty where he then is stabbed to death by a fellow mental patient in the asylum. There's never a high point OR a low point for any of the characters. The script is trash. The musical numbers are distracting and not good. Joaquín deserved BETTER.
@@VotingBlue2024 Joaquin co wrote the script... and the movie was awesome but you can continue following the NPCs shitting on it because there was no Batman
@@lunarlad8075 I don't give a f about whether or not there is a Batman. Where are you getting these assumptions? Joker (2019) is one of my three favourite films of all time and Joaquín Phoenix is one of my all time favourite actors so for me to say that I expected better from the sequel is not me shitting on the people who made it but a compliment. They are better than Joker 2. Don't make it so personal. I continue to love Joaquín - he's one of the greatest talents ever to have lived. I'm simply saying the script was trash and even the most brilliant people don't score every time. This was a miss.
Taxi Driver is good, but I don't think it's better than Joker. Arthur Fleck is much more sympathetic, which makes Joker a much more heart-wrenching, impactful story.
Loved this movie, but this is a unique look at Joker's story. This isn't his back story from any comic books, though. I think of it as a elseworld or alternate universe version of Joker. It's not at all like the mainline DC storyline.
THE SEQUELS BAD IT BOMBED BIG TIME, ITS NOTHING LIKE THIS FILM ITS ALSO A MUSICAL ITS NOT A DARK GRITTY FILM LIKE THIS ITS A MUSICAL WITH LADY GAGA IT FLOPPED I SEEN IT TO ITS BAD REALLY BAD.

The new one is an absolute slap in the face. It's literally like they didn't give a fuck about making a good movie just making money.
Uhhh they clearly didn't care about making money with the direction they took. My feeling is that WB basically forced Todd Phillips to make a sequel and he said "Fine" and went the route he did as a "fuck you" to them.
Wrong. It was only the ending that was a slap in a the face, guys don’t let critics ruin your opinions on movies, it was good.
Todd philips doesn't care he got paid 20 mil
I think the best part of Joker 2 is probably Joaquin Phoenix's performance.
👀
Yep, Joaquin and the guy who played Gary were the best part
Not really the best part but the only enjoyable aspect in my opinion. Or well maybe you can make an argument that some of the musical numbers featuring Joker and Harley are great, but in my opinion only the courtroom musical scene is good.
@@jzon0 Yeah, Joaquin singing The Joker was the best part
Deserved best actor.
This will always be a masterpiece regardless of them trying to ruin it with joker 2
What’s so amazing about a socially awkward mentally ill guy shooting someone in the face because they made light of their horrible stand up routine. And he straight up murders his mother. Yeah screw that Arthur guy.
@@marvymarv959 its more about the social commentary and what that can do to a mentally ill man
Yes, you WILL suffocate inside a fridge. That's why you knock the door off if you're pitching one out. Kids will play inside it and get trapped when it falls over door-side down.
Thanks for reacting to this masterpiece
Thank you for checking out the reaction!!!
I love this movie and Joker 2 was flawed but still well done. It's better than like 80% of comic book movies and big budget movies in general.
But there wasn't any fourth wall breaking or corny jokes every 30 seconds! /s

😂😂
Joker is a masterpiece. Joker 2 is a complete 180 from the first and is a POS.
Wrong
@@UncleXerces Did you like the first one?
@@classicmovielover4056 Saw it in theaters 5 times
aw man if they liked this one imagine if they watch the og Taxi Driver.
"That´s why you have to be nice to the crazy people"... 1. rule: Don´t call them crazy people.
I'm enjoying this reaction so far. Joker 2 sounds like my unprofessional self-diagnosis. Arthur Fleck went all 'Split' (2016) on us.
Joker 2 is solid. Remember this is Arthur’s story, he was never gonna be “the joker” joker is more of a symbol/ movement in this alternate story
It's worth a watch and definitely not as bad as people are making it out to be.
Joker 2 shouldn't have been a sequel to Joker, it would have been a lot better if it didn't rely so much on the exposure of Joker and was its own thing entirely.

I like how you showed a good portion of the movie within the frames of youtube, a lot of people cut too much in terms of reaction to certain bits
@@lepersonnage371 thank you! We are trying a new way to edit the video to make it more enjoyable to watch
Well done, guys.
Joker 2 is great!! It picks up after this in court for the murders. You’ll love it and see how it ends will break your heart.
It’s a musical, but it makes sense cause he crazy and it’s in his head.
I love that movie.
If you haven’t seen this movie yet, why would you be “super excited” to see the second one? 🤔😎
The real tragedy is this film's sequel.
I guarantee you have not seen it

Definitely agree with the title of the video.

please dont watch Joker 2 🫠
Please only watch the 2nd one just to see how bad it is thats what i did with low hopes and yea idek how to explain it 😂 good vid guys
Joker is only a “masterpiece” for people who didn’t see Taxi Driver first.

The King of Comedy, too. Both much better films than Joker.

i heard Joker 2 fell short.
Arthur is not and never will be THE Joker
Could have been if it wasn't for Christopher Nolan
If you are a fan and love the first movie i strongly suggest you don't see the joker 2.
16:50 she sounds like my ex wife.
React on RRR (Indian Movie), You would love that
don't ruin this movie buy watching number 2, it undoes everything
been hearing that a lot 😣
DO NOT WATCH JOKER 2
It didn’t win all those Oscars.
That’s what google says and we believe everything we hear on the internet 😂
@@MOONPOPPERS you must’ve misread that. It was nominated for 11 Oscars… won for best actor and best score.
@@andrewreiber7691 oooh okay thanks for clarifying. When I looked it up all those came up
Maybe you should keep reacting to disney trash and leave all good movies alone?

Dont watch the second one! they ruined it!
A bootleg ripoff cannot be masterpiece
Do not watch the new joker 2024 that movie is a$$.
