Finally got to see this. I thought the movie would’ve been better just as a normal movie, and not tried to be a Joker movie. All of it felt shoehorned in. And not well. I always pictured Joker as this brilliant person.
Also, Phoenix is 45. Bruce was a kid. So Joker is supposed to be a 60 year old man when they battle it out?
Lastly, DeNiro is a great actor, but he was terrible in this role. Why have him in the Johnny Carson character role? All of the other comedians were real comedians. Why chose DeNiro to play a funny guy role? He was so stiff.
And honestly, the movie was rather boring. Slow moving. And why did we make Wayne a bad guy? Felt like Hollywood pushing a political agenda that billionaires are evil.
Not sure I get the love for this movie.
