Jesus... Now that's an exaggeration if I've ever seen one.
The joker is actually a movie I'd watch twice, not something I'd ever say about a Marvel movie apart from Deadpool which was actually funny. Mostly because Reynolds is class.
For all the shit DC gets, they still made the the best comic adaption in Dark Knight and also Joker was better than almost everything coming from Marvel.
If only Daniel Blake in I, Daniel Blake wore a Batman outfit.
See, this is what you can do with comic book characters !

I liked the first one. It's silly to dislike it based on how other people perceived it or whatever.
A musical sequel is just chaotic enough to work.

Is that really a thing? Sounds like something fans say to dismiss any criticism.
Has anyone actually said that's how they feel, or is it just what Pogue was theorising?
I've definitely seen people hating on it for multiple reasons, whether it be the similarity to Taxi Driver or the fact that a load of incels loved it and looked up to him. Then you've got the general group of people who dislike anything popular.
You've also got this quote from this very thread.
The fact that people thought it was artsy and intellectual doesn't impact my view of the film. That's how other see it.
It's by no means by favourite film or anything, but I watched, enjoyed and that was all I took from it.
I think the first movie was like Mc Donalds releasing a "gourmet" burger. Don't see what a musical version could ruin.
Deadpool 2 is also really fecking awful. Ryan Reynolds is also mostly awful in everything.
We’ve figured it out. The Joker is for people who enjoy Ryan Reynolds movies.
Wasn't as good as the first one I still enjoyed it. And still by far the best Marvel movies.
Also who doesn't enjoy Reynolds movies to some extent? They are enjoyable for what they are.
Due to his age and the fact that Bruce Wayne is a kid, and him not appearing to be a criminal mastermind (outside of his own head), there was a lot of talk upon its release that this Joker was more than likely an inspiration for the real Joker, though it's not something that's ever been confirmed or denied by the filmmakers.
So is this a movie now or some kind of musical? Or some weird mixture?
What's it like being so smart?
Me and Mockney agreeing on a movie... feck me!
To be honest i dont care.. it's not my money they're using to make the movie.
If it's good I'll watch it. If it's bad I'll probably still going to watch it.
So.. just make them

Yeh I’m not bothered about tarnishing legacy and all that bullshit. I’m looking forward to it. I’ll still always like the first one. Maybe this one too.
I'll watch it - I liked the first movie and gave me something from a 'superhero' type movie that I hadn't got before. Looking forward to seeing where they go with it. Phoenix is superb as well.
Ohoohohohohooooohoooohohohohohohohoooooo

the only thing I remember about the first one is it had a midget in it
I'm all in as long as it's intelligent, nihilistic and with a wicked sense of humor.

I have an irrational hatred towards Lady Gaga for some reason.
That's a bit strong - at least you acknowledge it's irrational.
I'm the same - can't stand her.
Also what a disappointment that they're going down a musical shit rom-com esque vibe for the sequel.
I don't really have an opinion on her although I did think she was very good in a star is born.
Yeah I don't know what it is. Maybe that weird meat dress she wore...
I have no problem with Gaga except that I don't think she can act.
I like some of the gaga songs, wtf does she know about cameras?
Watch Gaga play a piano and sing the songs she wrote.
Sometimes it's good not to watch the showbiz stuff.

Yeah she's clearly crazy talented... Just chooses to make bullshit instead.
This is why A Star Is Born was ironic. It's literally her actual life
Think I read somewhere that Hildur Guðnadóttir, the lady who did the incredible soundtrack to the original, is back on board with the second movie so i'm guessing Lady Gaga won't have full control of the music.
This version of the Joker hears music in his head so it makes sense they would further go down this route as it's a part of his delusions.

Feckin musical. Should have left it alone.
i think it could work with this Joker movie. Gaga as Harley is something I never thought about. But apparently shes been great in AHS
You are a bunch of uncultured swine
Musicals are actually great.
