wouldn't have gone on my own.....but went with the wife for brownie points. not a horrible movie....but definitely forgettable over time. if you think phoenix laughing like a fool is good acting, you will love it. other than that, nothing spectacular about it.

Should be a good and entertaining flick if you don't get shot up in the theater by some nut bag.. ..
My theater room has a 190" screen that feels like it's wrapped around you like an IMAX movie, with 9.1.2 Dolby Atmos sound. Massage chairs that massage you head to toe. Full bar, including daiquiri machines, popcorn machine, traeger grill for the best brisket/bbq your mouth will ever taste. Sorry but the movie theater is a huge step down. I usually wait for video.
I also have four 55" tvs, 2 on each side, so I can watch 5 different games on football Saturday/Sundays. Each TV can do PIP, so I can actually do 10 games if I wanted. It's a hard sell to get me out of the house. I have tix to the Texans game Sunday but I really don't even want to go. I rather relax at home with laptop in hand.
Post some pics man,sounds awesome......!

You have a cool wife man.......
90% of women want to see a tear jerker or women in power liberating, pants wearing roles.........

No one suited for this style of the Joker more than Phoenix........
Didn't read on how the story came from imagination to paper........
Did Phoenix come to mind before the caricature of Joker was transferred to canvas??

That I agree with.. He was great in "Walk the Line".. Johnny Cash himself would be proud of that if he were still alive today..

I like Joaquin but he’s not in Christian Bale’s class, nor the late Phillip Seymore Hoffman.
I’d rank Ed Norton up there pretty high too, although he doesn’t work as much as he used to.

Any movie with a Jimmy Durante song in the soundtrack is a little off the wall.

phoenix is good at playing creepy losers but i prefer movies where the weak person works hard to become strong and get revenge. in this movie he just stayed weak. the movie was ok but not my style.

Yes I have.....
Never was a fan of Dolby........
Cleans the sound up too much taking the superior naturalistic sound potential out of it...
Sound on my system is so real,You'd swear everything is taking place live right in front of you..
When not in my entertainment room while system is on, I'll look out my window when hearing emergency vehicles,gun shots,or end up trying to answer my phone when I hear ringing or even vibration sounds,Lol.....
All of these enhancements are fine tuned manually by myself thru my windows 10 compatible professional studio hardware using the latest virtualization technology understanding human hearing auto adjusting the sound volume to what is supposed to be naturally loud to what is supposed to be naturally quiet, with release time adjustments simultaneously from short to long delay/advance loudness naturally overlaying sounds in the same way the human brain interprets sounds from one another........
Enhancing of bass from 50hz @ 0db - 24db to 600hz @ 0db - 24db
Advanced adjustments of sample rate and bit depth from 48,000hz 16bit CD quality all the way to 192,000hz 24bit studio quality......
High Tech manual Equalizer/Compressor/Spatializer with advanced pitch adjustments of semitones as well for personal tastes........
Add all the above to old school amplifiers(my Fisher and Kenwood)
and you just created a hi tech digitally controlled audio MONSTER!!!

That’s what I thought when I left the movie. Sure it’s getting a lot of hype in a year where there haven’t been a lot of great movies yet, but Phoenix isn’t even the best actor to play the Joker. Heath Ledger’s performance was incredible.

Norton has a new one coming out next month looks pretty interesting from trailer.
Phoenix was in 8mm too don't forget that!
He's great but Depp & Bale have him by a mile yet

Just saw it last night.
Good movie. Great acting-however, is it really acting when Joaquin Phoenix is already a little crazy in the first place.
I admit I was distracted by when it took place.
One scene, theirs a theater full of people in tuxedos watching a black and white projector screen.
In another scene, theirs a hospital with automatic sliding doors.
Still, enjoyable to watch

Agreed
Not that great of a movie, but a good movie.
I think this movie is getting that Chappelle's Netflix show treatment.
The director and main actor got a lot of unnecessary blow back for the content.

The same level of sophistication and understanding that makes a person 100% sure Kirk Cousins is in the middle of a Hall of Fame career?
So much so that they say to anyone who has a vastly different opinion, like most of the people in the Vikings organization as well as the NFL probably do, don’t understand the game of football?
