Spoilers Joker: Folie à Deux

[Jaydolph a Red Nosed Ape]

The movie hate is just out of control and I think lots of trend chasing going on as well. I would bet good money this movie will be seen as a cult classic in the future. It's got great acting and looks great which will elevate it's decent story into being seen as a great story. Plus the idea being put out their that the movie was made to piss people off as if it was made by the Joker, such as people like Tarantino saying is only going to add to the movies legacy in future years.

It looks good and the performances are great but beyond that it's pretty hollow. Like I said upthread, it's fine, but it's a three star movie (being generous) when the first was a four and a half knocking on five star film.

That's kind of common with lots of cult classics. Lots of cult classics have flaws but what elevates them is they have a sense of style or a character or characters that people really latch onto. This movie is also going to have a fascinating backstory to it with all the conspiracy theories as to why it was created and what the Director was going for.

A cult of one, at the very least.

Hey their are people today who think The Phantom Menace and the Prequels are good. It will happen.

^Can't disagree with much of that, although I actually thought the courtroom scenes were when the film started to come alive somewhat- he was at least the Joker there.

I really liked when he did a southern accent. It's like the only way he new how to be a lawyer was acting like Atticus Finch but of course he knew squat about the law and it was really just going off on something he saw when he watched that movie.

So it's available to watch on digital where I am. And... I liked it. I liked it more than the first movie, I regret not seeing this in theaters....

Spoiler: About a certain Prison character

Don't get the Barry Keoghan copy cat in the film. Was it homage to the actor or making fun of him?
