“Outstanding,” “Irresponsible”: Oscar Voters React to ‘Joker,’ With Many Avoiding It
Academy members tell The Hollywood Reporter about their mixed thoughts about 'Joker,' the weekend's controversial blockbuster: "I don't know if it should be banned or it should be given every award."

On my phone so can’t write much. Just saw this. Fucking really enjoyed it. Oscar for sure. Especially if they gave it to Rami Malek for his overly faggy and pussified portrayal of Freddy Mercury. I thought it was great. Uncomfortable sure. JP was just amazing. He’s a better actor than HL. Can’t really compare the two as Joker because this was a much different story. Funny he killed Taxi Driver in this parallel movie.

My wife wanted to go see this movie. I was kind of on the fence. I am glad she insisted. This was a well done movie that showed how chaos can descend into madness. Joaquin Phoenix easily deserves an Oscar but the Oscars are not about performance. There is no reason to watch the movie a second time but I certainly would enjoy watching more of the performance. To pair this performance to an actual batman movie would take some real directing that could be as good as Heath Ledger's performance or a true disappointment. Its said that cocaine is never as good as the first time and I am afraid that a second movie might reflect that. I would love to be wrong.

I really liked the movie, it started slow and half way through I was thinking that by the end that's a major criticism I would have.
After watching the movie, I'm actually glad it had moments of slowness because it really made the ending pay off a lot. I really liked the finally imagery with the Joker in the car.
This is the best shit that DC has pushed out in ages (other than some of the animated stuff).
I can't wait to see what else DC black has to come.

It's bad because I went to an early showing which was (unbeknown to me a showing also for disabled people lel).
So I'm sitting in my maxy comfort seat, gallon of drink ready to push me into diabetes, and I noticed some dude get up with something in his hands that looked like a rifle and swivel about. I started to think "Were the SJW fucks actually right and I'm going to get gunned down by an incel" but actually it was a crutch and he wobbled out of the theatre and came back with a hotdog.

I loved this interpretation of Joker, I loved Nolan's as well but i felt that this was a more grounded approach that opened alot of doors for sequels and a new way of linking Batman into everything. I was really hoping that they would show a certain someone meeting Joker for the first time in this as well but im not sure i could have asked for a better done origin movie than this. It was hard to watch, and rather disturbing but fuck was it great.

I wonder if Robert DeNiro being such an insufferable faggot about politics irl was guerrilla marketing for the climax of this movie...because it totally worked.

Didn't enjoy this much. I'm not big on awkward, uncomfortable tension and this movie was filled with it. This is definitely not a bad movie, just wasn't for me. There are some beautiful shots, two that really stand out were the scene where he's dancing down the stairs and then again when he's leaving the subway. Joaquin did a great job but the movie is kind of slow, and while I wouldn't call it an art house film it feels like it at certain points. It's a very slow burn, and I found myself bored several times throughout.
This isn't really a movie about The Joker. It's a movie about a guy with mental health issues that eventually snaps, set in Gotham.

There was something about the way he kicked, because he was so skinny, it made his legs look so long. Is this from the comic? It looked amazing.

i'm probably in the minority on this but i fucking HATED all his dancing in the movie
also do you think it was reaaaaalllly necessary for Joaquin to lose 47 lbs (dude only weighs like 110) for this movie? That felt like another artsy fartsy thing, while he looked weird in his shirtless scenes i don't think it was really necessary, and its funny how nobody on the left shits up the director/actor for doing it (wut about "male body image" harm), meanwhile everyone REeeeeee's if you say Rose is too fucking fat

Just saw it. Kinda in the "didn't like it, didn't hate it, not my thing" group. Like I get what it is, but it seemed a little too up its own ass at times. Like artsy for the sake of being artsy. Like calm the fuck down. Some of it worked, some of it just seemed too try-hard. If people asked me if I'd recommend it I'd probably say it's a movie to watch if you're curious, but not if you're a comic book fan or joker fan or anything like that.
I'd give it a 8 out of 10. I hate cringe stuff and there was a LOT of that. Not rating it lower because of that, but if you have a rough time with that stuff, beware.
I also wasn't a fan of:

They made Thomas Wayne, patron saint of Gotham, look like a rich douchnozzle. Quite the stark contrast to Bruce's memories of him from previous iterations like Batman Begins. Kinda makes you think Batman is just a spoiled brat with a lot of big boy toys.

Fucking loved it. JP is the best living Joker for sure and possibly the best period.
I know a lot of people are upset that this wasn't a typical comic book Joker, but I'm really glad it wasn't. Just like
Adebisi
said about the Pearl necklace scene, I've seen the Joker lots of times. Ledger's was amazing because it took it to a different place and this one was amazing because it grounded the Joker from criminally insane super-villain to just plain insane. I'm also a sucker for movies with an unreliable narrator.

This was not a Joker movie. Call Joker Carnival instead, Thomas Wayne Rich_guy01 and have it set in NYC and its no less connected to the Batman universe.
I thought it was alright. Really enjoyed the revelation of his delusions, right until you where hit over the head with the "INCASE YOU DIDNT REALIZE HES HAVING DELUSIONS" hammer. Do movie makers really think we are this stupid?
