Joker: Folie à Deux Movie Review

So true. The production company and executive producers just committed creative and economic suicide with this sequel. Wasted opportunity on the success of the first movie.

[@leececilia70]

The review we desperately need 💯 The ending 😅😂😂

[@NewYorkKidd]

The fact that they kept trying to hide the fact that it was a musical means that somebody knew it was a bad idea but the first one made so much money they didnt wanna interfere with the director. WB showed restraint the one time they shouldn’t have

[@johnnyfentry7050]

When did they ever hide that it was musical? It was literally announced when the very first trailed released like 2 years ago …….

[@RM90855]

@@johnnyfentry7050to be fair, the first time I saw the trailer, it was not obvious that it was a musical. I remember hearing some dialogue but no music or songs during the trailer. But eventually it did come out that it was a musical. So they didn’t necessarily hide it, but they also weren’t very informative about it either lol. The amount of people who had no idea it was a musical goes to show how little they advertised that. It was definitely marketed as a normal movie for the most part.

[@monicamaa8755]

It isn’t obvious from the ads…tbh I was today years old when I found out it was a musical 😂

[@RichG-m3z]

The trailers made it seem like there'd be a few musical numbers in the movie, sometimes when he's having a pyschotic moment, but not the entire film.

[@EightyPredatorsWide]

Did you ever get around to checking out "Dancer In The Dark"? It bills as the first depressing musical. It's pretty good. I'm not a fan of musicals either.. I even thought my brother was pulling a fast one when he told me this new Joker flick was going to be a musical: Hm. If he's not lying, this is probably going to suck...I bet the visuals will probably be maintained?" Well sir, thank you for your taking one for the team. Your sacrifice is much appreciated.

[@Lilboozibert]

Funny you say that. I've been saying for years that Stefani's been trying to fill Björk's shoes in the popweird fashion department...but she never did it for me unless it was a cameo, despite her singing voice.

[@v2511]

Depressing film but so good especially the courtroom number

[@mr.TMLong]

I was truly looking forward to your take on this particular movie based off of what I’ve heard from you in the past. Often time you soften the blow on a few movies, in my opinion. This was a refreshing change coming from your review. Keep it coming like this and I’m looking forward to more.

[@charlesgordon5156]

Says a lot when even Tony Baker openly trashes your movie, because Tony Is a nice guy and doesn’t like giving bad reviews

[@cdk1473]

I did not mind it. Some of the musical stuff was part of what was going on in his head. This movie was about his mental illness. Also it did go into what happen to him. His mother’s boyfriend use to abuse him. And his mom who adopted him abused him too and lied to him. The first one was different so i don’t understand how people didn’t think this was going to be outside of the box.

I enjoyed it. The cinematography and performances were great. I also found the music entertaining. As you said it wasn’t a full on musical like West Side Story which I wouldn’t have enjoyed. I didn’t love the script but I didn’t hate it. I think the hate for this movie is way overblown. The fact that it’s CinemaScore was the lowest rated comic book movie is absolutely hilarious to me.

Soon as they announced this.. I was like ooohhh I can’t wait on Tony’s review 😂

[@TheTonsta13]

I saw it and really enjoyed the movie. The name of it says it all. I means a delusion shared by two. The intro scene kinda explained the movie and shared a duality with those who saw the first movie and hated this one. The characters in the movie did to Arthur the same thing as people who saw the movie are doing to the movie itself... turned away due to the lack of sensationalism. I really dont want to give away the plot, but it made sense to me. Hopefully, you'll do a spoilercast on it.

[@abandonablesnowman]

People keep saying this as if the movie’s this deep commentary on our culture. Nah, trash writing is trash writing. The musical numbers are unremarkable and constantly disrupt any building tension while serving as filler for a lazy screenplay that doesn’t bother to develop its characters

[@BeautifulEarthJa]

Was anything added tho?

[@johnnykeane9633]

That's fine but don't use the Joker name then, it's misleading and the only reason the film did so well initially. If the film was called Arthur it may have done well but the main reason for it's success was because it was linked to the Joker

[@lemonlame8635]

I think the musical element was to show the fact that the joker is an entertainer/character to Arthur. He also seemed to love the admiration, and the attention he got from being the joker was unlike that of what he got as Arthur. I don't think there was anymore music after he realized he was not "the joker" the show was over essentially

[@popfully4781]

I knew something was going to be off when it seems like the production time was super short. By the time you heard they were in production, they pretty much finished. Which told me they weren't going to have that many locations which meant the story was going to have to do the heavy lifting of keeping people entertained.

[@MuchieChannel]

I knew it was bad when I was in a packed out theatre and half way through it, groups of people and couples kept leaving every 2-3 mins. By the end of it it was 8 of us out of like 70. So bad that towards the end everyone had their phones out, some people were sleeping, and some people were making calls during it and we didn’t care.

[@mdooms76]

It's on Max now...I couldn't get past how the first 10-15 min of the film was basically silent. After that first song I cut it off. Loved the cast and the last Joker. So I was giving this a shot. I really tried.
