Bar none: one of the most overrated movies of the decade; if not of all time.
I saw this in theaters, and was unfortunately greatly disappointed.

Forget the fact that this is a superhero’s villain’s origin story.
Realize it for what it really was: the story of one man’s descent into madness.

Now compare it to films that ACTUALLY fit its genre; not super hero films.
Movies like Taxi Driver, The Shining, Black Sawn, Jacob’s Ladder.
Now please tell me this film ranks up to films like THAT.

If you still tell me how its “so original & crazy” I will tell you how you are a liar.

The film lacked substance & depth and instead dwelt in a troubled man’s own infatuation with his own misery.
This was not the Joker by any stretch of the imagination.
Nicholson & Ledger & Hamil’s joker’s were literally JOKER. This was a pale shadow.

It almost seems like to me most people who say they loved this film only are doing so because they think that’s what they are supposed to say; like good little lemmings.
Rather ironic stating the nature of the film & the Joker in general.
