[@MagnumTriumph]

People say that the movie is bad because there wasn't intended to be a sequel and there was nowhere to go with it. I think they could've easily made a fantastic sequel to Joker. Another story in the same world, just with more polish and building on things that worked well in the first film. I really liked the world of the first film and the sporadic use of violence as it made the occasional gunfight or fight scene really effective. They could've just made another crime story, maybe even make Arthur become a vigilantly or hitman for the mob or something. Anything but this!

[@bunny1356]

It's the extra half a star for me 😂 I love you two. Honest reviews are refreashing. I can say without seeing this film that my favorite part would've been the end. It's a no thank you for me.

Somehow I knew when I saw Lady Gaga in the trailer, that this would fail epically across the board. Nothing against her as an artist, but it’s almost like Warner said, “Fcuk the fans, featuring Gaga 🤣🤣” Great review by the way! For those who haven’t seen this subpar sequel, and barely go through the first film, thank you for saving us 2:18 of sanity 😂😂😂.

You know Todd Phillips actually did documentaries before comedy. He directed the documentary about GG Allin in 1993 a short while before he overdosed. He only started doing comedy because that’s where the money was at. When comedy stopped being lucrative, he went back to drama.

[@apocalypse_frau]

I remember that documentary. Vividly. What a shame that so many of the director’s films since have been tepid and forgettable. His Joker should have remained a one and done feature.

Was this movie trying to win an award for worst sex scene in a film? Also remember Lee tells Arthur she's pregnant afterwards and then it never gets brought up again and never goes anywhere. What was the point of that?

[@SumLuv]

idk i don’t think the sex scene was supposed to be “hot”. it read as desperate for validation on arthur’s part and obsessive on lee’s part. the pregnancy was more or less manipulation tactic

He’s not in max security b/c when defendants are awaiting trial, and can’t afford an attorney, they are living as a guest of the state in local jails. An example: L.A. County detention center. As for the rest of the nonsense on display in the movie concerning the court system makes no sense.

There wasn't supposed to be a Joker sequel. It was ordered due to the film's success, hence the lack of story and inspiration. I bet it wasn't supposed to be a musical either until Stephanie made it one of her contractual conditions. This looks so dull. But I love that Possession shirt. Ms. Moore's activation scene bears similarities to that miscarriage scene in my mind.

Thanks for the complete breakdown, saved a wasted trip to see it. I really liked the 1st but had zero enthusiasm for the sequel

[@Antfhony]

Just watched this! I avoided it in the states after all the reviews, but in Japan this was one of the only movies playing in English (haha). I'm excited to go back to the states and watch this in IMAX, I really enjoyed it! I liked the first half a bit more than the second. The court scenes dragged a bit, but I think it was important that it did! It's showing us how Arthur is performing on this stage/platform he's always wanted! Not in a courtroom per say, but with an audience that "loves" him. It was interesting seeing him be so rehearsed and childlike while representing himself, and watching Arthur slowly figure out the disconnect. I also loved the musical numbers and unashamedly put a few on my playlists.

[@joanietails]

I enjoyed this film so much I saw it twice. For everyone complaining about and questioning why it was a musical- the first film had Arthur’s delusions portrayed as fantasies about a 70s-ish late night talk show. In this new film they continued that theme by extending those delusions to fantasies of a 60s/70s Sonny and Cher type variety show. Why?? Because the movie makers chose to introduce the essential character Harley Quinn from the comic books at this point in the Joker timeline. Gaga made for a great Harley even if there had been no music. Her intensity and facial expressions added a magic to the character. But, if u are lucky enough to get a Lady Gaga in your film, you’re gonna utilize all the Gaganess. Could anyone else have done those musical scenes as a duo with better chemistry? The “boring-ness” of the court room scenes is supposed to be a striking contrast to Arthur’s fantasy world. His childlike responses and doodles are supposed to be building a case for the audience to view Arthur as an abused child, even if the jury doesn’t. It’s our opportunity to feel empathetic towards him. The guards also treat him like a child, and abuse him. His lawyer and psych evaluator (both women) were the only nurturing characters in the film and Arthur who was clearly uncomfortable and unfamiliar with their kindness pushed them both away. Harley represented a similar manipulative relationship like Arthur was used to with his mother, which is why he was comfortable with her. Her fascination/obsession with him stems from her psychology background, and Arthur is the ultimate case study. Her fantasy was to live inside the mind of the Joker. Once he denounces Joker (her muse), there is nothing left for her curious mind to study. They both gave great dramatic & musical performances. I think the ending was perfect, as the director has already confirmed that there will be no part 3. He stated that his version of the Joker story is complete. I loved that it was a musical. Much more reminiscent of Batman ‘89 which has a full Prince soundtrack. I’m not a fan of the Dark Night graphic novel type Batman films at all. Give me a colorful cartoonish comic book BAM! POW! 💥 Additionally- to answer how did she get in the cell- she says the guard let her in, to where she states “I’d do anything for u”. To me it implies she exchanged a sexual favor with the guard. It was also implied that the guards sexually assaulted Arthur which is what finally broke him down at the end. That is the major theme of the film- a psychological study of a man who had been abused physically, emotionally, and sexually his entire life, and how he managed to cope with that trauma. It’s a full blown example of how the human mind is capable of splitting and fracturing in order to cope with extreme trauma. I think the character of Arthur/Joker portrays this “disorder”beautifully in this film, especially with Joaquin as the actor. I’ll probably see it a third time. It’s okay for us to disagree, the Fish Jelly boys are still my favorite reviewers ❤️❤️❤️

[@IsaiahTB0]

I really enjoyed this but can obviously understand y'alls perspective completely, especially bc the movie could have shaved at least a few musical numbers. I thought Harley's characterization kinda made sense like a true crime fanatic (reminded me of the people fawning over Dahmer). She really manipulates him and he has his own idea of who she is with fanciful delusions bc he goes off his meds (like the other woman in the first film). I assumed it was attempting to subver the traditional story where Harley is abused and obsessed with him. Apparently they cut a lot of portions from her arc out and it would have involved her taking up the Joker mantle from him? Not fully sure.

[@loriangreenwood6152]

[@robfuzz]

Even though Gaga was just a hired actress here, its a shame her film career will now be derailed, at least for some time, because of the stain of Gucci and Joker. I don't know how many offers she's gotten but a better agent may be necessary. She has incredible potential as a dramatic musical actress or maybe even comedy. Time to just focus on music. It's pretty incredible when you think of how successful at BOTH music and film Streisand was. It's a rarity.

[@FishareFriendsNotFood972]

Lady Gaga I feel like has yet to find her ideal acting niche, she bounces around in genre and how seriously she takes a role, here it seems like she couldn't figure out how campy or grounded to make the role

[@Truthseeker738]
