I’ll let you know how it goes
FINAL IMMEDIATE OPINION (Just finished)
As a DC fan of course the ending was not what I was looking for. But as a movie, I think it was okay. The end seemed rushed, like they realized they had a 4-hour movie on their hands and had to finish it now. I didn’t quite get the motivation or the conflict that led Arthur to claiming his identity and taking blame in the end.
I like it from a filmography point of view, musical choices are great, the fantasy life of Arthur Fleck was fleshed out well and made sense of the narrative. 6.5-7 out of 10, and I think the director or writer whatever he was is very talented and is going to have a lot of future. But no this will not be a director for DC comics.
I also wondered, is Lee dead after the phone message and he just fantasies the rest? I’m guessing the director left that up to interpretation.
Make sure all reviews are set to music!
Okay, I like music and musicals. I’ve known every song so far. 1:14 in.
Wait. They’re all preexisting songs, not written for the movie?
So, final score?
The kids came home and I put them to bed. I wanted to finish but I was tired and it was almost an hour so I decided on an intermission.
Updated the post if you want to see
Thanks!

See you at the end.
It’s a good movie. Don’t know why it was so panned.
8/10 film
Sorry, but if you’re posting on social media instead of watching the movie, is it really a good movie?
Quentin Tarantino liked it. John Waters liked it.
I respect the opinion of those two legendary film makers over any amount of loud mouth social media shitstorm enablers who got their knickers twisted because the movie didn’t conform to their idea of a sequel.
It is a good movie. And I’m tired of pretending it’s not.
Tiktok brains couldn’t handled the slow burn
I almost erased this movie from my mind and you have to bring it up again?
