About

You’ll likely enjoy Joker if you want a dark, character-driven descent with a strong sense of Gotham’s bleak atmosphere; Not for you if you expect an action-packed superhero movie, or if you want a more traditional, purely “criminal mastermind” take like Batman Begins or The Punisher.

Pros: intense character focus; standout performance; gritty Gotham mood | Cons: slow and heavy; divisive take; unsettling violence
