Agree. Or even before the trailer was out, as per the belowI think it was a decent-to-good movie but not exceptional. I thought Phoenix was great and the movie score and cinematography were very good too.
But I do have to agree that it felt a bit one dimensional and predictable while overdoing it on the darkness a bit. It just started off dark and kept getting darker and darker, but in a rather predictable trajectory. I felt that by seeing the trailer you had kinda seen the movie.
A generous 7/10
Phoenix will probably be quite good in the lead role and the film itself will be a lot less interesting and provocative than it probably wants to be. I imagine we'll get some tragic Joker backstory that attempts to explain his insanity and a mildly shocking-but-not-that-shocking scene where he does something bad that ensures he's still seen as a villain.
