So glad the days of WB trying to copy marvel are over, personally like what they're doing with the loosely connected universe

DC is really on a roll here. What I like is their versatility in telling a good story, be it a stunning female empowerment movie like WW, or action cgi romp like aquaman or a kids movie like shazam... there's no 'one size fits all' formula like MCU does with their movies

Superb film, but still think Heath Ledger is the best joker. Kinda a drag if you ask me, but I love the way it's being presented. Masterful storytelling that's very relevant to our current times. Showcasing joker's reputation for being unpredictable and an unreliable narrator, it expertly blurs the lines between what's real and what's not, who's right and who's wrong. It's all a matter of perspective and open to interpretation.
Wouldn't call it a masterpiece, also I think it's a bit overrated. but it's definitely a solid film. 4/5 from me This post has been edited by gaeria84: Oct 6 2019, 04:14 PM |

QUOTE(domcobb @ Oct 7 2019, 09:44 AM) JOKER (2019) Joker's views on society reminded me so much of TDK... and here we go! This is one rare origin movie, that’s both shockingly surreal and hauntingly relateable! What I enjoyed most and truly appreciated, of this movie, is the fact that we, as an audience, were shown, not just told but actually shown, of how Joaquin's character, Arthur, tried to cope with the bad hand ... no, cruel hand that he's dealt with, every single day ... right down to that final moment of total descend to madness! Truly, to witness someone with a medical condition, treading on some mighty thin ice of sanity, while being shredded apart by the cruelty of society, is hard to watch ... but what makes it even more heartbreaking, is learning how much he holds on to his mother's advise of "My mother always tells me to smile and put on a happy face!” Just about every scene of the movie tips on Arthur’s character transformation … and while many highlighted about how gradual that process is, I personally thought the movie was perfectly paced, enough to get the audience to be truly invested in Arthur and the struggle that he goes through. Frankly speaking, I was so invested that there was a point in the movie that I was secretly wishing for some ray of sunshine on his life ... and even then ... darn! This movie puts a smile on my face … but not before experiencing the tragic downward spiral roller coaster ride, that’s destined towards witnessing the fall of Arthur and the rise of the Joker! What a ride! » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « This is one of those movies that you have to watch it in order to experience it! |

QUOTE(defaultname365 @ Oct 7 2019, 11:06 AM) These folks People now are too sensitive. People didn't complain about films like Godfather then. That film was more violent than joker though... still can't sleep over luca brasi's death dem...WTF logic is this? The movie is for adults... not kids and it's a WORK OF FICTION. Want less violent content watch PG-13 la... I remember there were some who complained about "Deadpool" having too much vulgar language This post has been edited by gaeria84: Oct 7 2019, 11:31 AM |
