Review of Joker (2019) by Rjnator — 06 Nov 2019

Joker is an exceptionally well made film. It has some of the best cinematography of this year and boasts probably the best performance of it also. The music is hauntingly beautiful and help this movie stand the test of time as one of being one of the most unique comic book movies to ever be made.

I only really have one problem with the film: it's script. Now, the story is actually pretty good, it's just that it's one we've seen before in films like Taxi Driver. For a comic book movie movie, it's a pretty unique script, but compared to other films like this, it doesn't do this kind of story as well.

It's a little slow n parts and its dialogue is nothing special, but this is still a pretty well written movie, with symbolism left and right and a satisfying, yet tragic, arc for its protagonist. On its own, this is a very well made movie, but just isn't quite a masterpiece (though, it was pretty close to being one).
