"King Incel 2: Mummy Issues Boogaloo"

[LaLaLand]

To say Joker 2 has split opinion is a huge understatement.

Some people really hate it.

I'm going to see the first showing in Hull tomorrow morning.

Hope you enjoy! I’m going to try and go next week.

Report back your thoughts when you’ve been!

Ouch-

Spoiler:

This has now dropped to just 40% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 120 reviews.

Everything I've heard about the plot and especially the ending sounds like a major misstep.

[Alf]

I hadn't seen any trailers or read anything about it before seeing it.

It wasn't what I expected it to be.

I didn't know it was a musical. Although it is a musical.

Lady Gaga was awful, and her character basically did nothing.

The story didn't go anywhere and the ending was poor.

Disappointing

4.5/10

The music was good choices of song. Phoenix was fairly good in his role. But that's about the only plus points I can give it.

I've not seen it yet but given that the original Joker was the darling of MRA's and reddit sad-boys the world over, I really, really hope the sequel is one massive troll and they left the cinemas weeping and raging into their cumsocks. That would truly be a piece of art in itself.

Why would they want to waste money like that though, that doesn't make sense

Because they didn't intend for the original to play so well to the crowd it played well to (incels).


For Alf: The soy latte feminist boy did not say that the original isn't a good movie. It is a good movie. That was used as wank fodder by a LOT of men who did not understand what they were watching. It was not supposed to be a Redpill power fantasy. If they've corrected that perception with the sequel - which it sounds like they may well have done - then I applaud them wholeheartedly, no matter how low their metacritic rating sinks. Bravo. I hope the silly billies who got off imagining themselves as the Joker in the first film left the cinema early, in tears. I truly, truly do.

would more love a similar direction they had went in Telltale Batman games

Spoiler:

the Bruce Wayne/Batman & John Doe/Joker bromance thing

i also doubt

Spoiler:

GaGa is as good as Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn which is the GOAT Harley tbh, that one and the Harley from the Telltale Batman Enemy Within

I still want to see it because of Joaquin Phoenix. Who is such an amazing actor I could watch him in anything.

Apparently that makes you a reddit sad boy. The soy latte drinking, fake femminist boys said that, not me.

Meh, I watch movies for entertainment, I dont get involved in background noise around them and I dont know why anyone else would either

I watched portions of this new one online (you can find it in its totality if you know where to look ), and still found myself pretty intrigued and engrossed by what I was seeing.

I think I would enjoy it. I like musicals.

[user104658]

For reference you could take both Fight Club and American Psycho as comparisons.

I love both of those movies. I love both of those movies because I have the media literacy to know what the message of those movies actually is.

However I also know that there are a lot of wee boys out there wetting their knickers imagining themselves as Tyler Durden or Patrick Bateman... Not realising that - like Arthur Fleck - these are pathetic, miserable and broken characters who you are not supposed to hero worship .
