I can see Joker winning the Oscar for Best Movie at this rate. You just know the Oscars are looking for a chance to reward a really popular Hollywood movie to try and boost ratings.

Joker Reaction: Somehow Grittier And Crazier Than The Dark Knight
And 'Logan' as well! Top Film!
Just saw Joker. Incredible movie. Absolutely terrifyingly incredible movie.
Definitely one of my favorite movies of the year and I'll be amazed if Joaquin Phoenix isn't favorite for the Oscar.

Thats great to hear - hoping to see the movie on Saturday and I'm really looking forward to it.
Great to hear. Was waiting for someone to watch this and give their review before booking the ticket. And I really hope Joaquin Phoenix gets the Oscar. I don’t think there has been a more underrated actor in the last decade or so.
That’s some high praise. I got IMAX tickets for Saturday, well excited.
One of my worries is of a very slow built up with little action till the end. How did you find the pace?
As good as Mata's
Just watched it. It’s a very good movie but moves too slow for my liking at times. I still prefer Heath Ledger’s joker although this was a good second.
This movie isn't all about the action to be honest. It's a bit slow in the first half but I didn't find it slow in a boring way. It was just building up to a phenomenal second half. There is nothing superhero about this movie, just dark, haunting and disturbing.
You'll definitely not regret going for it. I've always liked DC and their darker movies in comparison to Marvel so this movie was right up my alley.
Joaquin Phoenix is absolutely unbelievable. It will take a brilliant performance from anyone to beat him to the award. I'm a huge Di Caprio fan but his performance in OUATIH isn't a patch on this.
Is it worth the IMAX? Doesn't feel very action type to me but more moody/atmosphere type film
I initially wanted to watch in IMAX but it's not exactly needed. The best possible sound system, whether it's Dolby or whatever imax has would be great though as the background score is sensational.
Thanks, me and my mate want to watch it and we're going to go local as he doesn't fancy trekking into town in the rain. To be honest, with me I just need it to be good quality video and sound, I am not a purist that can tell a difference between standard Vue/Odeon and IMAX, then get annoyed about it.
Eboue gives this superhero movie two thumbs up.
Yeah then going to IMAX really doesn't make sense for you. I usually go to IMAX for either Nolan movies, superhero movies or ones like Everest. This one doesn't really need it at all.
It would sound better maybe but that's it and if it's not something you notice, it's definitely not worth the extra effort.
That’s encouraging to hear.
I’m heading to see it on Tuesday afternoon. Looking forward to it!
I think it's a movie that's going to continue to split public opinion and there will be lots who don't like it but I love what they've done with this. You know even DC will revert to their more commerical crap soon with Justice League etc so it was nice to get this out.
Just seen it today.
I wouldn't call it game changing, but yeah , it was brilliant. The acting, the story, the score - very well done.

Masterpiece. 10/10.
The last time audience clapped in the cinema was TDK. Last night everyone was clapping, cheering for how good the movie is.
This makes me want to see Joaquin's Joker in full Joker mode, how he fully dived into becoming a supervillain/crime lord. Perhaps Joker 2?

A) Good point. But I'd like to argue that we have to remind ourselves that this is a different origin story. I think the backstory how he got his brain trauma when he was a child signifies how he accepted that he can never be normal again, thus embracing the madness in the 3rd part of the movie. He accepted it, he will be mad for the rest of his life. (nice touch)
If that is the version of Ace Chemical accident, I think it is brilliantly thought by the writers. Something different.
B)For me, Joker's high IQ is associated with his chaos way of thinking. The more crazier he gets, the more fecked up things he will try to do. He doesn't have a plan (Like himself said), he just do things.
In this movie, we have to understand that he is just beginning to do "things". He realized that by the end of the movie when he was standing in front of the crowd. That is the moment when he will become the Joker we know. He knows, he can feck things up by being this crazy person, and that is a nice ending.
C) Killing his friend Randall and the talk show host shows how he finally hates Gotham, and he will try to destroy it.
I just realized this post was before the movie came out, but I'd like to see more of this Joker. Sequel is a must.

The ending ties it up so neatly, it finishes the journey from the awkward stuggling clown to him fitting in into the role Heath Ledger picked up. My only complaint would be that they didn't exactly convey his high IQ in this narrative.
That's the thing, we always thought or assume that Joker is a genius supervillain, capable of toying with Batman.
For me, Joker always do things first, Batman solve it later. Becoming crazy can also turns you into a "clever" villain.
By the end of the movie he certainly embraced that craziness and realize his potential as an agent of chaos, nice way to end so we can speculate what will he do next. Beautiful, yet scary.
I'm confused, I thought this movie had steller reviews? I just looked at the RT and Metascore and they're nothing special at all.
It's a completely seperate division from DC Cinematic Universe. Think they created this division for more character oriented stories.
10/10
Joaquin is on an another level. What a movie! Perfection from start to finish

The SJWs and Anti-Guns critics worry more about the message and purposely giving negative reviews to the movie. Thinking this movie can inspire people towards violence...
It's out there, google it up.
DCEU is weird as feck.
WW --> MOS --> BVS --> SUICIDE SQUAD --> JL --> AQUAMAN--> (HENRY CAVILL IN DOUBT) & (BRUCE WAYNE CHANGED TO ROBERT PATTINSON) --> SHAZAM!
Separate Universe: Joker.
Not sure how can they continue their universe.
I think they should just stop DCEU and make it like the animated universe, just put the characters in team up movies without actual connection. Could work? Maybe.
To anyone that has already seen this, does this have any post credits scene or not?
I’m going to see it on Tuesday afternoon and looking to know whether you should stick around for the post credits scene, if there is one, or just head straight for the exits?

Inevitably, Bradshaw goes against the grain (yawn):
The most disappointing film of the year ~

Yeah it has quite a long post credit scene which is quite long and gives you a good insight to one of the characters, weirdly it's not immediately after the credits, it's about another 6 minutes after when the lights have come on but it's 100% worth waiting for.
Whoever even pays attention to film critics anyway? Most just love to be contrarian, for the sake of it, against anything they deem hyped up.
Totally contradicts what I've read online this morning...

pexbo is a lil bitch fo' real.
Apparently some critics are a bit peeved over it victimizing a white dude as a victim of modern society? Check yer privelage brah etc.
Just makes me more eager to see it really. Love a good controversy.

Yeah he's lying. Actually you need to sit down for longer than that until the lights go down again, through more ads and trailers then a huge post-credit scene plays. It looks very similar to the entire movie you've just watched but stick with it. Also if any cinema staff insist you buy a new ticket tell them to feck off.Totally contradicts what I've read online this morning...
