Saw this last night. All in all a great movie. Definitely NOT your typical superhero fare. Almost no fan service or Easter eggs.
I’m still ruminating over the movie itself and if it has any real depth to it, but I can say Joaquin Phoenix deserves an Oscar for his performance.
Not for kids though!

I haven’t seen it yet but the reviews I’ve seen so far say that it’s boring so I’m glad that people think it was good, I’ve been looking forward to it

The film is boring until the last half hour but, even then it seems as though Phoenix’s character just does things with no thought as to why he does them. Also this film breaks batman continuity.

Lots of movies have used it in the past. It is also still a commonly used song at every American sporting event including ones you likely have attended. I doubt it mattered then to you.
I do respect your opinion though

It was an incredible movie. It’s funny, OP talks about how there’s no easter eggs, but honestly there is a good amount. I mean, the interview on the late night show was very evocative of the scene from Dark Knight Returns, and there are other little subtle ones too, especially when you look at set photos of the subway system (which I would post myself but I don’t have clearance for it yet).

Oh, I totally enjoyed Joker. Waiting for my mom to come with to see it twice.
What I enjoyed most was how the story was more of a character analysis of a POSSIBLE (NOT CONCRETE) Joker origin than another spectacle of powers. Remember that we don’t know entirely who is telling the story. So this backstory can change in recount.
I loved how it took that failed comedian story and ran with it in a heavily Scorsese inspired chain of events. Things had cause and effect. This isn’t Batman driving on rooftops without them buckling from the weight. This is Arthur’s descent from damaged and fragile man just trying to make it all work, to the face of anarchy. Some may say it’s an ascension rather than descent.
In short, I felt and still feel Joker to be one of their strongest silver screen stories without the need of set pieces and spectacle of high fuel action.

Boring , slow , seems like the joker thing was attached to it last minute to get bigger box office. Wasn’t very good at all
