The trailer didn't look compelling to me, whereas in the first, I was interested immediately. It being a musical didn't help. This is another case of Hollywood trying to get juice from a lemon that was squeezed dry three weeks prior. Everything doesn't need a sequel, and now they've likely killed this entire iteration of the character. Seems like it's impossible for them to let successful films and characters go out on top. They always seem determined to end it all with a whimper.

It’s not really a musical though

Already on the fourth page of the Film Room :huhldup:

I finally saw this yesterday as the first movie in a five-movie marathon (Joker, Piece by Piece, Speak No Evil, We Live in Time, and Saturday Night). The ending had already been spoiled for me for weeks, and think this is one of those times being spoiled actually helped the movie. I was already bracing for the ending so when we got to it I wasn't even mad. I was just confused as to why they took this direction, and who the hell greenlit it, and just generally exhausted by another :trash: DC film. :unimpressed:

The ideas all make some sense, but the execution is so half baked on everything that it all falls flat. Even the musical aspect--I can get it since Arthur sang a little bit in the first movie, and only he and Harley actually sing in the movie, so it makes sense as both the fantasies in his head as well as their 'love language' of sorts, but it feels like they only did it because Lady Gaga was cast and they felt like, "Well, might as well make her sing since we got her in the movie. :yeshrug:"

And the last 20 minutes are absolute dog💩, just as much as everyone said they were. :manny;

like the fact this movie went into detail about the abuse and tragic events that made Arthur become the joker.This movie was a great setup for a 3rd action packed joker movie now that Arthur is dead..I would hope that’s the direction the director is going in..lady Gaga put on an great performance and I can see why some ppl didnt like a lot of the music parts but it fit the joker personality great and its what that sick prison ward was forcing the inmates to do..this movie was an excellent breakdown of why Arthur became joker and why joker is so cold and sick in the head..its a shame the critics knocked this movie so hard.. a lot of ppl hated the ending but I see Arthur dying and joker being born..Hopfully he’s taking to a hospital to recover,become joker and seek revenge on Gotham

Naw this aint The Joker.

This is a delusional loser who
COSPLAYS as The Joker.


The :trash: first movie got away with it because nobody knew what to expect and there hadn't been any sort of Joker movie before it. We just wanted to see what would happen and how it would play out.


Then when you watch the movie you see it's a bait and switch outside of a 20 minute portion at the end.


Now they're using the Joker IP as a vehicle for Lady Gaga to sing in a movie for 2 hours in the sequel
:mjlol:


:trash:


We told y'all :mjlol:
