Holy Moly The city of Gotham looks exactly how it should. Gives off a tone from the Arkham games. Heath ledger is probably applauding joaquin phoenix from heaven.

LaLaLand 29-08-2019 11:22 PM

Yeah I think if anyone could match if not better Ledger's amazing take on Joker, it's Phoenix. He's honestly one of the best actors going, incredibly talented character actor.

LaLaLand 31-08-2019 08:06 PM

This is having INCREDIBLE reviews. Being called a masterpiece!

Tony Montana 31-08-2019 08:30 PM

Holy **** all the reviews are highly positive.

And this has a perfect 10/10 on IGN!

LukeB 31-08-2019 08:46 PM

Trailer looked great.

Tony Montana 31-08-2019 09:11 PM

Empire has giving this a 5/5 and it's been called '' the Taxi Driver of comic book films''

I'm so excited!

LaLaLand 31-08-2019 09:34 PM

I thought the OG trailer had big “Taxi Driver” vibes so I’m
mega pleased that that comes through in the overall movie!

So really 1 hour 57 minutes (somewhere around that) because 5/10 minutes of that is credits. so yes i think it should have been longer.

This has suddenly had an influx of bad reviews which is worrying...

James 12-09-2019 02:42 PM

They took a quote from one of the bad reviews and put it on a poster, haha.

...I read that Joaquin walked out of a promotion interview because the interviewer asked him if he was worried that this film might perversely end up inspiring exactly the kind of people it's about, with potentially tragic results...

...I mean, what on earth with such a question...

LaLaLand 21-09-2019 04:57 AM

This appears to be the official poster now [& I love it]:


Ammi 21-09-2019 05:11 AM

...yeah it’s a great poster...:love:...I’m just so excited to see his portrayal as he brings so much emotion to all of his parts ...he can be both terrifying and tender in equal measures...

They need a new scapegoat for the inevitable gun massacres to come. Blaming video games is flopping more than usual and they can't upset the right wing by suggesting that the cause of mass shootings are... you know... guns.

So looking forward to this. :clap1: Most of the reviews I've read have been positive and Joaquin's Joker performance is receiving incredible praise.

Alf 24-09-2019 08:12 PM

Some people call him the Space Cowboy. Some call him the Gangster of love. Some people call him Maurice, cause he speaks of the pompitous of love.

9.5 rating on IMDB. That maybe the highest rating I've seen for any film. I expect that rating will go down in time.

James 24-09-2019 08:31 PM

I watched a review where the person said she was really unsettled and unnerved by the film. She also thought Jaoquin Phoenix gave a great perfomance.

I love him. One of my favourite actors. I want to watch it just for his performance.

Same. He was brilliant as Commodus in Gladiator. Really made me despise his character. I can't wait to see him as the Joker.
