What angered me was there was no comeuppence for the gaurds that not only abused him ,but brutally murdered a young man .Their behaviour through the film really got your blood boiling and waiting for a something as satisfying as the Murray Murder. There was consequences for Arthurs behaviour but it seems none for the abusibve prison guards. In fact the last you see of Brenden Gleesons character is happily whistling away without a care in the world. I also hated how Arthur basically turned into Randall when talking to Gary, although he did at least show a glimmer of guilt when Gary told him he always liked him, as he was the only one kind to him. That was a clever reversal of what arthur said to him in the original .

[@KI-qj2ui]

I genuinely don't get why people hate this film so much and honestly your arguments in this review are not really explaining why you even think otherwise. You not being a fan of musicals honestly shouldn't have to do with it. Now, I'm OBSESSED with musicals, but that's not the point. The musical elements were happening because that's where his mental state was at, and Lee's as well, shared psychosis. It was incredibly unique and it doesn't matter if you like musicals - this film was something NEW and DIFFERENT. And I think they did it fabulously. I think the reaction to this film is also really reflecting the whole message of the film. Nobody cares about Arthur as a human, everyone only cares about Joker. That's the point the film was trying to make and haters are really outting themselves as they were the targets of the message. The first film was a character study of Arthur and his mental issues. This second one is also EXACTLY that, if not even more so. And it does it in a totally unique way. So it makes NO sense to say that it "destroyed" the first one. Like huh? It was exactly like the first one but more creative.

I saw this film on Wednesday, and I could not agree more with you Snarky. The best word I can come up with to describe that ending is, "Tragic". My wife and I were like WTF. I am really surprised that Todd Phillips went this direction. There are movies that should never have a sequel, and Joker surely was one of them, but if you're going to do it, then make the film a continued progression of the first one. They could have followed Arthur Fleck on his journey, which I felt he had just started towards end of the first movie when he murdered Murray on his talk show, into becoming the Crown Prince of Crime. Then maybe towards the end of this movie they could have had him back at Arkham; have Harley assigned to be his therapist, and end the movie there, a foreshadowing of things to come. The musical numbers were not necessary at all. I thought Lady Gaga was miscast for this movie, and they should have looked for someone else a little more seasoned as an actress. Having her with Phoenix looked like a mismatch in my opinion. I gave this film 2 out 10 stars. I was really disappointed.

First time viewing your channel! Your presence on Critical Drinker’s open bar is a positive one! Your opinions are smart and funny, and when you don’t have anything to say-you’re easy on the eyes compared to the rest of the permanent bachelors on the panel!

[@johnnycash5858]

Your comment on Fleck as portrayed by Phoenix is exactly how I feel about the character: at some points you hate him because he’s such a prick but two seconds later you feel bad for him because you see how he got there and the losing struggle to be a better person despite life beating him down. It’s a nuance that could have been easily lost if not for the talent of the actor in that role. The bit with the small child on the bus, for example, just kills me. That moment of innocent shared joy ripped away by the understandable overprotectiveness of the parent just reinforces what a cold, harsh world we live in, especially for those who are already vulnerable and losing the ability to cope.

I LOVED Joker. I went into part 2 excitement. But by the time it ended, I felt frustrated, disappointed and was stunned at how awful it was! The audience was dead quiet and I heard one person say "this is bullsh!t." I can't unsee what I just saw. They deconstructed everything good that was built in the first movie. I only grade it a 2 out of 10. That's because of the cinematic artistry and the Joker court scene. Total garbage. Can we just wipe this chalkboard clean? Erase it from my memory?

Musical made it an instant L to me and I'm sure many people feel the same.

[@svetlanaandrasova6086]

Same. Not only cos I hate musicals. But also it made no sense for sequel to be a musical.

[@123rockfan]

Why though? If the musical aspect was actually done well and incorporated into Joker’s psychotic breakdown, would you still have hated it? I love musicals and I hated Joker 2 because the musical elements were done horribly.

[@TommyP14]

OMG. I love you and your reviews (think I found them a couple months ago) but I can’t watch this one because just from the title I know I’m going to get upset. lol. But seriously. I thought it was a masterpiece. It was an insanely bold direction to go, and I get people will dislike it, but as a movie… as an exploration of the “Arthur Dent” character (not the “Joker” character) it was close to perfect in my book. I can’t wait to see it again. But. You still rock! Keep up the great work. ❤

Thanks for watching it. Saved me the time. ❤

Snarky jay I want a request. I love your content and I know other content creators have done this but I'd love to see you do a favorite film from each year you have been alive.

[@chrisville004]

I hate how they would just break out into song instead of talking like normal human beings

[@Raelspark]

Snarky, how do you know so much about film production and screenwriting? Have you taken a screenplay class? Have you read Robert McKee's Story Structure?

[@scottbuckley823]

If it's going to be a musical at least make it like little shop of horrors or rocky horror or something from Jim Steinman even even queen over the top and operatic. the fact they're not showing the singing in the trailers has me in doubt it's musical moments are even good.

[@MSgt5J071]

Great idea! The problem is when you make a musical it's very often one and done, and it's very rare to turn a sequel into a musical. Odd choice. But in terms of musicals, remember Grease 2? Nope, me neither. Remember Shock Treatment, the sequel to The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Most Rocky Horror fans don't even know they made a sequel because it was so bad. My point is even if they put the musical production value into the Joker sequel like Rocky Horror or Little Shop, making it good would be an uphill battle.

[@scottbuckley823]

[@cjames22dox]

You were watching it through the wrong lens. Joker was an allegory for corporate greed and glorification of mental unwell news and how we as a society make martyrs out of anti-heros. This second film holds a mirror up to our faces asks why we are so obsessed sequels and film tie-ins to other franchises. When the psychopath at the end seemingly becomes the NEW Joker, is a middle finger to KZbin channels that make content categorizing these film. This "Easter egg", was deliberately put there by Todd Phillips as he says "put this somewhere." I think in this franchise what I get out of is that Todd Phillips is the Joker. I will have to watch it again to dig a little deeper.

[@lyledeyounges1276]

Total joke. On purpose, no doubt about it. They destroyed him.

[@aukword6255]

I liked the movie a lot. It was pretty much exactly what I expected going in. Joaquin warned us well in advance. 'I won't do a sequel, but if I were to, it would need to cover new artistic territory.' (Somewhat misquoted). It was exactly that, a large budget art film. It was an experiment, and I weep for those who can't embrace the jankyness of it.

[@justlivin2499]

We live in a world where a Penguin spin off show is more well written and respectful to its source material than a sequel to the Joker

That red dress is absolute fire!! Oh and... yeah... I agree with your review..! Who thought making this a musical was a good idea..?

[@Bby_2JZ]

Not surprised with Lady Gaga in it…

[@angelarch5352]

The first movie accidentally made over a billion dollars, instead of losing $200 million... so the studio wanted to make a sequel to correct this mistake, and guarantee that it will lose $200 million this time. Great job.

[@antimatta8714]

...I knew it'd be terrible. Can't stand lady gaga. Looks like the joke is on them.😆

This beautiful woman understands the assignment and reveal what many has known when it was announced back then that there is going to be a sequel and it was going to be a musical. I never considered Joker part of DC, if you change certain characters name, it would been a better film. So I only have one question for her. Which was worse Joker 2 or the Crow remake?

[@winstonjwingo]

I feel like I owe you for sitting through the film and reviewing it so that I don't have to. Though I did enjoy your karaoke . Thanks snarky jay I will not see this in the theater, maybe when it comes to max.
