Customer Ratings & Reviews

Failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks -- the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he's part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.

first of all, this review is a little late. Either way at the time I purchased this movie, I'm glad I preordered it. I did a store pickup option and I got the steelbook edition with absolutely no flaws on it. I thought the cover, front and back, plus the inside was awesome. I have gotten dented steelbooks in the past and regret letting the return date expire. Never again!

A lot of fine actors have portrayed The Joker over the years,both on tv and in the movies. In "The Joker" Joaquin Phoenix has turned in as memorable a movie Joker as the late Heath Ledger and definitely better than Jared Leto and Jack Nicholson. Yes,its another origin story,but this version shows a better character study than any previous Joker. Don't want to get all spoilery,but highly recommend it.

This is not your typically Mark Hammil or even Heath Ledger type of Jokers. This really puts you in the perspective of someone dealing with mental illness and the hardships they can go through. The writers did a really good job of explaining how the character changed and why he made the decisions he did, while also making making you feel empathy instead of sympathy.

This is could Joker movie. You can cheer and villify all you want. It gives an origin story so well, I HOPE we can just role into other canon of Joker with out needing it. This film is so good, it could launch the Batman franchise if they choose to pick up where this one left. I just wish the story was not saturated with the other DC films that play around Gotham.

Had to see this movie after all the hype. It's a possible origin story for the Joker staring Joaquin Phoenix. It's very loosely based on the DC comics batman series. The film is more of a guy driven to madness by society and inspires a cult of followers as they slowly start to destroy the city they live in. Great film with great performances.

Did you know movies exist on physical things that you can hold? Me neither! I was blown away but the very concept. A round piece of plastic? Aggressively shove it into my PS4? And movie plays? No way! Not possible! But I did as I was told... There I stood, holding my breath, convinced that I just broke my PS4... BEHOLD! A movie starts! The future is now people!!! Also Joker is pretty good.

Juaquin Phoenix gives a career highlighting performance in this film as the titular character. However, comic book fans should realize this movie is not based on any particular comic book and is treated as a standalone film and story. If you like early Scorsese films, then you will have an idea of what this film is going for. The 4K blu-ray is a great release with excellent picture and audio quality.

I was not expecting to like this movie - I'm not a big fan of DC comics but this one stood out. The acting is superb if somewhat disturbing. The plot was kind of predictable, but a twist got in that surprised me and that is always good. Script - good, Acting - Superb. Camera work - good. Plot - good. Information it provides to explain the world of Batman - essential.

This is the type of film that makes you drop your jaw. I realized this was a masterpiece before I even finished watching it. It's that good. Joaquin deserves all the awards he received for this role. Better than Dark Knight's joker? It's different. If you have a slight interest in this, I'd say you have to watch it. I don't buy as many movies as I used to, but I knew I had to own this.

Dark film, but what would you expect for an origin story for the Clown Prince of Crime. I am not a fan of the superhero franchises but I appreciate the interpretation of Batman's arch villain. This film would fall more in line with Christopher Nolan's Dark Knight trilogy, then the other superhero amusement/fantasy films. A more 'realistic' approach of an anti-hero.

"Joker" is a great character-study, featuring a great performance from the incomparable Joaquin Phoenix. The movie does well in displaying Arthur Fleck's troubles and even has the audience gain sympathy for him. Also, the movie is similar to the movie "Taxi Driver" in terms of structure and in how Bickle from "Taxi Driver" and Fleck from "Joker" are tortured loners who just want to be loved.

Phoenix's performance is magnetic. Basically Taxi Driver Meets DC but wow does the movie nail the execution. The grittiness of the movie isn't going to blow you away on 4K but more enhance the dinginess of it. This movie is something I can only hope Hollywood does more often after this and Logan. Make a film that just happens to have a comic book characters in it.

Phoenix did what jared Leto wished he could do and it's crazy people thought Todd Phillips couldn't direct this movie not only did he succeed but set the dcu up very nice where will it go from here i don't kno but I hope birds of prey is at least half way decent after JOKER that's gonna be tough it's crazy de niro was it in becauyit had a taxi driver vibe to it shot gritty but beautiful in 4k

If you're a fan of The Joker's famous comic book origin story, The Killing Joke, then you'll enjoy this incredible new spin on the iconic Batman villain. When Arthur Fleck is pushed to the breaking point, his already shaky hold on reality begins to unravel as the city of Gotham becomes a powder keg of tension, ready to explode as Arthur descends into the depths of madness.

I didn't get to see this at the cinema but don't feel I missed out on the big screen feel. The movie is a great origin take on the Joker and Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal was amazing. The juxtaposition of happy clown/sad clown, in the context of the character's story, taking on a deeper, layered and emotional impact than has been portrayed in previous movies where the Joker just 'is'.

If you didn't get the point of the movie you probably, weren't paying any attention to it. This Joker is "crazy" compared the Dark Knight version, which are both the best in their own right. (My copy didn't come with digital copy for some reason. I opened it and it had no redemption code paper just discs.)

99 jokers on da wall if you take 1 down you have 100, yes 97 Jokers on the wall. Bats and Joker b like da same. Different always so whom does Harley <3? I think duo-lay she is seeking all 3 robin, bat, and joker. With Harley”s pink bring joker first, 2nd sloppy 4 baseballBat and garbage leftover for the bird man. Dats the way it is.

Joaquin Phoenix kills it as the titular character that explores a possible origin for DC Comics Clown Prince of Crime. Backed by a strong supporting cast featuring the one and only Robert DeNiro, this movie has become a modern-day masterpiece. It transcends being a comic book based movie and becomes something else altogether. A definite recommendation for any JP or comic book fans.

A well done film, telling the story of Joker from the earlier days, pre Batman. Phoenix a standout in his Oscar winning role. Truly sick and twisted, so is this flick. Darkly and creepily shot, it has a gritty feeling to it, which enhances the entire production. I could have done with less of the Martin Scorsese film ripoffs (Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, especially) as those felt unnecessary, but this film stand on it's own. For me a better performance here as compared to Heath Ledger's job. Dark and moody, and somewhat disturbing, if this is your type of thing, I can def recommend it for those audiences.
