Doing a Joker film as a thinly-veiled Scorcese pastiche to lure in all the overly self-serious young men, and then doing the sequel as a jukebox musical is a practical joke worthy of Jocker himself.
Why couldn’t they just make a sequel to birds of prey? That movie was great and Margot Robbie was fantastic.
Cause money, Birds of Prey had a budget around ~$90 million, Joker had a budget of about ~$55.
Birds of Prey made about $200 million net gross in the box office as Joker made over $1 billion.
Yes but joker made moneybas it was pretty good and was different to expectations.
This sounds like it wasnt. Although, it does sound a little different to what I expected.
Well I just learned from this article that the movie is a musical. And I love musicals, but that’s weird.
Really?
That like making a Tenet based TV series, but as a sitcom.
I noped out of wanting to see it in theaters when they announced it. I thought Joker was really good, and was excited about a sequel. A musical was certainly a choice. I am waiting for streaming if I ever do watch it.
That’s a low audience score
Right now the audience and critic scores are exactly tied.
That doesn’t happen often, and that means that people really aren’t liking the movie.
So it’ll be on HBO Max in about a month then? 😁
That is plenty generous, it feels, for this film.
Sounds like people were expecting another Scorsese
rip-offhomage and they got a musical instead.That would be true if they actually did a musical instead of barely shoe horned in musical numbers as an excuse to put in scenes completely unrelated the plot so that they can have Phoenix in joker makeup, to use in the trailers.
People were expecting a movie. Not a slow trash fire that decides it hated its audience and wants to make sure you know by the end of the film.
Saw the movie today. I concur with this astute review.
I would say there were maybe (maybe) 4 spots where it made sense to put music, and maybe 1 or 2 of those where the scene and music were done well (graded on a favorable curve). Then about 20-25 places they jammed bad music for what felt like no reason other than to slow down a movie that already wasn’t going anywhere.
This movie never happened according to me.
~All I know is that Palaye Royale perfom in it (or in the trailer) :)
