JOKER 2 - WHAT DID I JUST WATCH?! This film was TERRIBLE! (NO SPOILERS)

My straight out of the theater review of Joker 2: Folie a Deux.

[@deansal9222]

I also saw it tonight but haven’t got around to posting my thoughts yet. Loved the 1st film. Let’s just leave it at that…

[@kiksta]

Yes, classic example of a film that should’ve been left alone. This damages it’s legacy…

[@themilkchubby]

the first one ended with arthur fully embracing who he is , the joker and this film starts with the character of arthur super regressed back into a even weaker version of himself from the first one, the second movie should have been like FULL JOKER not what ti was :(

@@themilkchubby 100%. And they could still make a movie about him questioning his “Joker” persona, whilst being the Joker. That said, if they did that, but still made the whole story about re-litigating the events of the first film, it would still be a disaster…

[@carlosoomano]

Obviously that was the point of this film. They wanted to destroy the joker character as it is too 'alluring'

[@chrishansen2100]

He said no spoilers but told the whole plot.

Saying it’s half musical half court drama is not a spoiler. You can literally infer that from the trailers.

Never seen the first one, it looked kinda crap too. That mental health bandwagon crap

[@kiksta]

I thought the first one was gonna be crap, but I ended up loving it. I understand your concerns, but it’s not the story you think it is. It’s very much about a down trodden individual who is forced into embracing his psychosis, by a society that has forgotten him. I highly recommend checking it out, and then never watching the second one!

The first movie was shit. Overdone nonsense. Glad. To see all the fools waking up.

[@kiksta]

Hmmm I disagree with that assessment of the film, and I don’t think people are waking up to that film, but rather realising that there was absolutely no need for a sequel. The first film is a brilliant commentary on the down trodden of society and what happens when they get desperate, along with mental health thrown into the mix. The second film tries to invert the first, and fails miserably.

@@kiksta it was crap & cringe level overacted when u really think about it. And the fact he read the script and took the job proves they were all clueless. As are the fools who think the first movie was anything other than crap.

[@kiksta]

@@snorky222222 I think most people thought the premise of a Joker origin film was a dumb idea, and I remember a lot of criticism for the idea before it came out. But I think what people loved and connected to with that film, was that it’s not actually a Joker film. It’s basically taxi driver, but with the name Joker pasted onto it. As for the acting, we’d have to agree to disagree cause I thought Phoenix was phenomenal.
