Joker (2019)
I thought this was a pretty good film that ticked all the boxes of what it set out to be, and I think your opinion of it will change based on what you're expecting from it going in. Having seen Taxi Driver a couple of weeks ago, I won't deny this movie feels a little like a remake of that with the comic book character twist added on, but to be honest it didn't overwhelm all the good in this anyways. Joaquin Phoenix was the best part by a mile, and his performance was nothing short of stellar, so when 95% of the scenes have him in them, it is hard not to have his acting elevate the movie significantly. Even beyond the acting, I think the directing was well done, with some really beautiful shots in parts, and the sound/music was used with great effect (with exception to one case).
I have no problem recommending this to people who don't care about comic book movies/think they're all average, since really this operates more like a character study film than its typical peers. I'd rather have more of these than whatever the next 50 movies Marvel/DC has announced and carefully preplanned so far this new phase, since at least it was something different.
7.5/10, somewhere in the 7-8/10 range but I'll see how I feel after another viewing.
