Critics are idiots then. Crazy crazy performance

****ing awesome. One of the most satisfying movies I’ve seen in years. Exactly what I was hoping for.

I haven't seen this movie yet but I've read reviews and from what I'm reading it seems "Joker" may have a slow burn decent into madness. How would you compare the tone of this move to Kubrick's "The Shining"?

The Shining is one of my top 3 movies of all time. I'm just wondering how you would compare the tone "Joker" uses to tell its story parallels to "The Shining".

Going to see it on Thursday so no spoilers please.

It’s more Scorsese than Kubrick. Specifically ‘Taxi Driver’ and ‘King of Comedy’

Which the director studied under Scorsese which is why the vibe is so mobish and perfectly fits that era of batman. What a ****in beautiful choice by DC.

Let me put it this way, if you enjoy The Shining type of a film, you will fall in love with Phoenix method acting. I would be shocked if Phoenix doesn't have to talk to a therapist after this role to ease his mind from what he did on screen, just incredible getting into the zone and truly becoming a madman.

And for Chiefs fans, the movie even had a little Gary Glitter to really set the mood.

I know. You see the trailer. Get excited. Others get excited. Hype starts. And the ****ing movie still delivers more than anticipated. It’s a rarity these days.
