The first movie sucked, I cant imagine making it a musical will make it any better


Exactly.Didnt think it was possible to make one as bad as the first but Philips has apparently outdone himself.

I have no desire to see this but I think the first joker is absolutely brilliant and touches on mental health/incels better than most could have.

It doesn't even really bother me that it's a musical.


Really? Isn’t that mainly done for a stories like these for one episode in a TV series where the actors and show runners just want to do something different once or show that they can sing?

Nobody wants to watch 2 hours of mental illness and depression in a theater... Especially in the form of a fricking musical.

I hated the first one, didn’t want a 2nd one. So I agree.

A billion dollars worth of people wanted exactly that when it was in the form of a lazy Scorsese ripoff.

Like Blade Runner 2049. Which I also refuse to see. Because the original was just that good.

So now I was planning on seeing Joker 2, I'll probably pass on it.

Brother, watch it when it hits streaming services and decide for yourself whether it’s any good or not.

I’m just saying I’m less inclined to pay to see J2 in theaters as I did The Joker. It’s not a hard nope, more like 60/40 against.

Gotcha. I’m with you on this. No way I’m watching this in a theater.

Yea, not sure why anybody wouldn't want to watch this. The first Blade Runner is a top 5 movie all time for me. Absolutely love it. Just a perfect movie.

Didn't have any desire for 2049 so I skipped it in the theatres. Really wish I wouldn't have done that. It's not as good as the first one obviously, but it's as good of a follow up as you're ever going to get and is extremely underrated. Very cool story, great acting, smoking hot Ana de Armas, and visually stunning. Visually the best sci-fi in the past 20 years or so.

It's only fitting that it didn't do well at the box office, though it didn't bomb like the original. It'll go down as a cult classic in time, especially with Villanueva getting as big as he is now.

The first one was really bad as far as it's connection to the Batman verse. There's no indication this guy will go on to become a criminal mastermind.


Its not really the Joker, let alone a Batman movie. Its just disguised as a comic book movie. “Angry nerd gets fed up and kills some people” would be a concise review

Woooooow. 2049 may be as close to a perfect film as one could get. The original was my favorite movie ever and 2049 managed to top it.
