It’s one of these things where DC is spreading itself too wide. Too many non connected films and confusion over what is connected. There’s also the whole The Batman thing as well. But I guess I’m less interested in this since the first film felt one and done and I think I’m tired of Harley. Nowadays it just seems like you can’t have joker exist without her. That and this one is a musical and I’m really not a fan of musicals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tking22 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 I liked the first one, even though I find the idea of a Joker origin to be an oxymoron, it was a well shot film with great performances and it was entertaining. I'll definitely check this out in theaters when it drops, I just hope Harley isn't a part of Joker's mind and she's not real the whole time, that'd be a bummer/copout.

TangledThorns Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 I'm hoping this isn't some sad 'its all in his head' kind of film as it could damage the JOKER brand. DC/WB needs a reminder that the JOKER is super villain doing super villain stuff and not some pathetic guy in a mental hospital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should have looked at more scripts before rushing into a 2nd movie so soon. It's always a bad sign. I'm not a fan of GaGa the dudes ok but they could just went with the mixed girl from the first movie or someone like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This reminds me of the half baked love triangle stuff they did with suicide squad. from what I seen they edited out half the story from the movie so it seemed kinda stupid on screen. I think your spot on. 1st movie was his origin story now in 2nd movie he is supposed to establish his own unique take as the Joker being a supervillain. also this movie if done right could set up Easter eggs for a third movie with his rivals and there unique take in this franchise. Hopefully they don't screw it up. If it was me I would bring Jared Leto in as the Riddler in a third movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless, that's the type of artsy poodoo I hate passionately in films. Edited July 23 by Raikkonen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Focker Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 It looks nice. The cinematography that is. Most big movies these days use flat lighting for the ease of the CGI. This looks like a movie and not an extended video game cut scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenius Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I thoroughly enjoyed the first film. I went in with no expectations and was happy to find it thought-provoking. I'm skeptical of a sequel though because the first was so heavily dependent on its twist (that some of the story was an illusion). That doesn't feel like a well you can keep going back to for compelling stories. If they've used the musical aspect to shift the twist a bit, it may work so I'll give it a try... from the comfort of my own home some time after release.

I’m not a fan of courtroom dramas and definitely not a fan of uninteresting ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
