    I agree with pretty much all of your points about this film. I think so many people hung too tightly to the first film, which affected their perception of the film. The sequel is a very bold and ambitious film that was truly daring in its choices and direction.

      I agree. I think with the ending of the first, everyone expected Joaquin to be THE Joker in the sequel, but they took a way different approach, much more grounded and ambitious in my mind. It didn't pay off for a lot of people and that's totally cool! But it worked for me!

    Unfortunately, people are not smart enough to realize that this movie is brilliant. Lee, is a villain which I didn't mind. Lee is us, if you think about it. We want Joker and when we don't get what we want we bash him for not playing the role we want him too. I think most of us at some point in our lives/life acted like Lee and all the joker sycophants.
    It's an excellent film yea... I still preferred the first. But I felt the second had even more depth of character.
    I hated the guards and I was hoping arthur or one of the other inmates would have killed one of the guards for revenge for all the abuse they took.. specially arthur, that made me mad, arthur was like a wimp and didn't care,but i get it, he was so far gone by time this film took place.
    Like with the rape scene I was hoping arthur, as joker would have snapped and killed Jackie.. I hated him.
    Did you all noticed arthur's next door inmate the fat short bloke with the glasses,he looked like penguin. You see him a few times.
    Anyway I liked joker 2, I know I'm part of a small percentage of stupid people who liked it but whatever...I don't care. Joaquin is my favourite actor and he was brilliant as always..Hildur's music was sexy, she's brilliant, cinematography was breathtaking 👍🏻💯
    I saw it twice and about to watch it on this streaming called "mannic" it free, good copy, I saw a piece of it.
    Dont understand what all the hate is for. Guess people just follow the opinion of what they're told to have. Good review mate cheers.🙏🏻💯🃏

    I found it to be a perfect follow to the first movie. In my view though, the two younger inmates with him are only in his mind. Arthur was stabbed at the end by his inner joker persona in the same spot Lee shoots him. Its metaphorical narrative and we know Arthur imagines things. He's still alive and the third movie will be a perfect story ending.

    definitely agree, I do have slight issue with the execution of the ending but the idea of it and the rest of the entire film I found very unique and refreshing, still like the first one more but can't say that about it and it being musical just matches the joker personality perfectly its strange how many are against it, many people walked out of my screening after the first or second musical number. I spent the entire night thinking about the film, a film wouldn't be meaningless if it achieved that.

It's just SO different.

  • @nseven1117

    it's rather ironic that Joker, a character known for being chaotic and unpredictable has now become one of the most predictable characters in comics. people know exactly what will happen when Joker escapes Arkham and fights Batman to the point where people can practically make a bingo card out of it. of course, there's no problem with that, it's just rather antithetical for someone who's supposed to be unpredictable and chaotic.
    this movie came out and it was nothing anybody predicted it would be resulting in chaos in the movie's universe and outside of it in online and offline discourse. however, because the movie did something nobody was expecting, people began demanding the same old Joker formula that's been used so many times before.

    I loved it! I liked it more than the 1st film. I got pretty emotional seeing Joker's psychosis because I could really relate to coping with reality by fantasizing about your dreams.
    I fully understood what was going on in the film, and that's probably why I liked it so much. Many of the criticisms are that folk are confused about what's going on, which makes sense why they didn't like it. This film went by very quick for me; I left the theater wanting to see a sequel.......But seeing that many folk didn't like the film, there's probably not gonna be a 3rd film 😭

    I loved it because it was realistic. I don’t consider it a musical because this wasn’t Arthur narrating his plans or backstory to music. This was a sad, abused man living in his head and surviving with the help of music. Joker may be a symbol but Arthur is a man and he didn’t want to be used as a symbol. He simply wanted to be loved.

      Right? That's kind of what I got from it too. Arthur's hallucinations/fantasies aren't anything new. From imagining himself being applauded on stage, to his entire relationship with Sophie, his mind has just grown more elaborate and bizarre. 2 years of abuse in Arkham, medication, meeting Harley (Lee), it made perfect sense to me!

    Wonderful review Brett so pleased I'm not the only one that likes and defends Folie A Deux for me this is the true underrated masterpiece of 2024. Mean Girls also didn't market itself as a musical either which is why the reactions to that movie were so negative too. Love how the Joker movies are so unique and different as comic book movies and are not afraid to be their own thing. Margot Robbie is still my favourite Harley but Gaga was still amazing in the role and the trial scenes had me on the edge of my seat Gary and Arthur's interaction particularly stood out. The opening animated Looney Tunes style cartoon was terrific and the soundtrack was my fav of the entire year with The Joker, Build A Mountain, That's Life and To Love Somebody had me signing along to the movie throughout yet the film kept the dark dramatic tone of Joker 2019. As divisive as the ending is going to be it worked for me and cried at the end of Arthur and Lee's relationship😭. I think this could be a strong Oscar contender like it's predecessor!

    Now, I went in knowing that this was getting mixed reviews, one critic saying it was just too weird for them, and that it was at least half a musical. I never wanted a sequel to Joker either, I thought Joker was a great stand alone movie and was really concerned when I heard that they were making a sequel to it. However, I really enjoyed Joker 2, I saw it as a kind of insane movie about two very mentally ill people having a relationship told from their off-kilter point of view (and Arthur's point of view mainly) as an over-the-top musical inside Arthur's head. Both Joker and Joker 2 were much more interesting movies than the last 12 dozen boring and generic Marvel or DC comic book movies that I have seen. They both dared to do something completely different and make a much more grounded and realistic interpretation of Joker (and Harley Quinn in Joker 2). Joker and Joker 2 are definitely the most memorable Batman world movies that I have seen since they are so different, and really more about the character of Arthur Fleck and mental illness than The Joker character from Batman. I think only Unbreakable and Glass can kind of compare to these, but the cinematics, acting, and story of Joker and Joker 2 are far superior. Joker 2 in particular has I think a much more complex plot with a lot of meta critic of the audience wanting traditional Joker and Harley Quinn portrayals from a franchise spin off where they really don't belong, and making a generic sequel would just cheapen it and be a sell out.
