Joker Folie A Deux Review - Is It Really THAT Bad?!

[@victorbottino7886]

The shared delusion is actually between the filmmaker and the audience.

Thank You for giving a different perspective on this Film. I am going to see it tonight! I know I won't be disappointed.

[@shhimwatching]

Appreciate you watching, hope you had a good time with it. 😊

I loved the performances and the direction that Todd Phillips and Joaquin Pheonix decided to go with the character of Arthur with having him face the consequences of his actions and battle with his identity through them. The challenges placed on Arthur both felt subversive and yet cohesive with where we last saw him in 2019’s Joker. However, the lame musical sequences, thin story, and off-putting ending bog this movie down tremendously! Still, I have not stopped thinking about since I left the theatre, and that is worth something in my opinion. Great review!

Yeah, love or hate them - films that stick with you long after viewing are special.

[@melvinmokayamagori7743]

I actually liked it better than the first one too.

welcome to the club ☺

People did not enjoy the regression back to Arthur, but after expectations are removed(often on second viewing)- one can really appreciate this film for itself. Nice thumbnail btw!

[@shhimwatching]

Thanks 🙏 agreed, I really hope people give this a second chance.

I truly believe this movie will be a cult classic in a few years. It's subversive, interesting, and intensely bleak. The major problem for me with this film is it needs a directors cut.

[@shhimwatching]

I can see it getting more recognition as time goes by for sure.

[@shhimwatching]

Was it awful... or did you enjoy this? Really would love to know others opinions on Joker 2 😁

I think both movies are better than you give them credit for, but kudos for being one of the very few youtube reviewers that didn't ride the hate wave for views and actually went into the theater with an open mind and enough patience to at least enjoy its ups and get the gist of what the author was trying to do. Your review is fair, and that's all that matters. Just my two cents: the musical scenes are jarring on purpose, to show all the conflicting emotions on Arthur's head, and the words sung actually do represent what the characters (at least Arthur for sure) feel and think. Maybe, like you said, there are some latent emotional aspects that are not represented on many numbers (like Arthur's increasing lack of trust of Lee's intentions) but I feel they are still subliminally evoked through the doom and dark sounds of the symphonic score that appears here and there and many times even interrupts the singing numbers. I do agree the courtroom drama is a bit tedious, but I think that's exactly the point, the audience oughta feel the same lack of comfort Arthur does, given it's a psychological type of thriller film. The first one is also very dependant on Arthur's mental state, so that's another consistent element that carries onto the sequel.

[@DefenceLabDeutschland]

yes it was. Turning this in a musical was a bad mov(i)e.

[@shhimwatching]

… I see what you did there 😉

This Movie is a Disaster 👎😒

An opinion I’ve seen said many times. What made it a disaster for you?
