Phillips wanted to write some real shyt which he did but that doesn't take away from it being a Joker movie. Anyone who says it isn't a Joker movie isn't paying attention to all the detail that was put into it from previous source materials. And I'm not just talking about the shyt with Thomas Wayne. Even the entire talk show was in part lifted from a version in the comics. There is a lot there. You sound upset.

Taxi Joker was alright...Phoenix was great and will get an Oscar nod, but the film was a let down to me for some reason....

Saw it last night. Disturbing wouldn't see it again. I hate loner crazy loser cacs with a passion
One thing I will say... Joaquin nailed the Joker's run
When he took off running at Arkham, I was like yep, that's exactly how the joker would run

Did you know that if you remove CGI from most comic book movies that it's just a bunch of guys running around a green screen?

Watched this weekend and went alone. I hate going to movies like this with people because I always worry about my friends or family enjoying themselves for some odd reason lol. Going by myself I can truly focus on every second of the movie unless the environment is shytty. People getting up and down, talking, or chewing on popcorn set off a fuse in me quick lol. The crowd was okay once the movie started so I could pay attention.
First I want to say
fukk off with that you can't compare the different versions of Jokers rule. That's like people saying you can't copy someone else writing or art style and if you do you're breaking some unspoken rule. Some of the biggest artists encourage it because how are you gonna know who you are as a writer if you don't put yourself in shoes that have worked before? It's just always funny when the fans make the rules but the artists themselves most likely encourage the competition.
The "you can't do this" rule is some elite bull shyt. People can say one performance is better than the other. Stop the I have watched 1000 films per year so I make the rules as they go bull shyt. This is why we enjoy art because it's subjective and we can articulate reasons as to why one performance is better than the other. If someone makes an absolutely shytty version of the Joker we would all flat out say it sucks. But if it's someone knocking it out the park, we have to hit the "lol you fools don't even get the point..."
With that being said......
Joaquin Phoenix is the best Joker. He's literally 99.9999.9 percent of the movie. Everyone else in the film did not matter and honestly, they could have cast anyone for the other characters and it wouldn't have mattered or effected the movie in any way. Robert De Niro role could have been Plank from Ed, Edd, and Eddy and the movie would have still been fire. The quality of the film relied on Phoenix and him alone. There was no Batman to help build not only the chemistry but the movie itslef. This movie had limited violence and the theme for the movie went more towards a realistic point of view most of the other Jokers didn't have to worry about. The movie is 2 hours and 2 minutes. Phoenix is at least in 2 hours of it. If he fails the movie fails.
So much pressure, yet the film was a diamond in the dozen of shytty films we get nowadays. I hate the cliche of every film is "art". This is fukking art.

Reality
Make your own luck.
Movie is 8/10 for me. A better-paced first act woulda made it a 9. The period from when he ices the coworker to he leaves the Murray Franklin show stands out as a Top 3 most intense movie sequence for me. Up there w/ the Inglorious b*stards intro scene and the Trailers scene in Arctic River. The tension in my theater was palpable at that moment. When the climax of that Murray Franklin show happened you would've thought WE were the audience members at the show based on how rattled people were and the sense of horror looking on at that 2nd shot. 
Can't wait for the breakdowns of that scene, but what is was able to accomplish...just...
fukking disturbing.

Honestly, the media should be held accountable for forcing theaters to hire security and police having to be on stand-by and whatnot because of the proclaimed "danger" this movie supposedly presented in attracting deranged gun-toting white people. Of course nobody won't and they will continue to write ludicrous in-the-moment clickbait trash for many more years.
544 Ms on 55 milly budget and both Phoenix and Phillips open to a sequel means the studio is gonna pitch a fukking sequel by next spring guaranteed. Godfather 2 status incoming
Like what other movies?
