People hated this movie because they had the previous installment to build upon, and on top of that, the directors kept saying this was going to be a musical and people ignored all warnings. If you go in with the mentality of a musical, it's a decent watch

**_Joker falls in love in prison and goes to trial while singing songs_** Whilst the 2019 movie was intended to be a standalone film, Joaquin Phoenix said he felt there was more to explore with the character, which was augmented by his dreams that inspired the idea to make the potential sequel a musical. Since the original film was a mega-hit, the creative wheels started rolling and Lawrence Sher was reenlisted as cinematographer, citing Francis Ford Coppola's “One from the Heart” (1982) as an influence. The story is simple and condensed into my title blurb; it’s just a brooding continuation of the original film, with the addition of two thrilling sequences in the final act (which I’m not going to give away). If you took out all of the song & dance sequences, you’d have a 95-minutes movie. So, whether or not you’ll like this flick comes down to if you can stomach the imaginative musical pieces. If you enjoyed “Chicago” and “Into the Woods” or even “The Wizard of Oz,” and are open to that approach mingled with the dark side of the DC universe, specifically the Batman mythos, you’ll probably appreciate this. If not, you’ll rail against it. I get that ‘Lady Gaga’ (Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta) is an acquired taste, but she’s uniquely beautiful here and performs well. Surprisingly, there’s no physical exploitation, which I respect. At the end of the day, this isn’t as captivating as the original film, yet a lot of that has to do with the unpalatable or mundane nature of the plot; I’m talking about the setting of a prison hospital and the court room happenings. So, in my mind, the colorful song & dance routines perk things up from time to time. It runs 2h 18m and was shot from Dec-Apr 2022-2023 at the abandoned Essex County Isolation Hospital in northeast New Jersey, which is a dozen miles west of the Lincoln Tunnel. Other exterior places include New York City (the County Courthouse and the “Joker stairs” in the Bronx) and downtown Los Angeles. Studio stuff was done at Warner Brothers Burbank Studios. GRADE: B/B-

The second Joker movie had a lot to live up to. There was always an underlying tension, which was expected to erupt into chaos and violence at any time. But sadly that moment never came. What was left was the sad story of a mentally ill criminal going through his trial and gaining some hope when falling in love. **Beware: spoilers ahead** Although despised by most of Gotham's citizens, the Joker had a loyal fan-base. Then, later in the movie it gets clearer that those fans were only interested in the monster-part of the joker, but not in his person. When they realized they weren't given the monster, their support and loyalty faded quickly, leaving the Joker alone and devastated. I think the main idea behind the movie is interesting and engaging, but the execution is way too lengthy. It lacks an action part where the Joker and Harley Quinn drown the city in chaos. The singing scenes were too numerous and his mentally illness may have been expressed better while wrecking the city. The acting, the art style and presentation were awesome, that's why the short story in such a long movie disappoints even more.

"Joker: Folie `a Deux" has a variety of reveries based upon Arthur Fleck and Lee Quinzel, but it isn't long before these elaborately staged musical extravaganzas begin to make the entire film resemble some sort of expensive television show starring the one and only Jaoquin Phoenix and his very special guest Lady Gaga. The film certainly provides a superb showcase for the musical talents of them both, but it comes at a price: It is also responsible for side lining the other necessary elements of the film and as a direct result of this what we are lumbered with is essentially a virtually non-existent story the filmmakers have decided to overload with a plethora of musical numbers and HEY, PRESTO! THAT'S ENTERTAINMENT! Well, yes. After a fashion. What is going to happen in the third film it will no doubt be revealed none of this actually happened - which is probably what both audiences and the executives at Warner Bros. are thinking to themselves right this minute, especially in light of the meagre profit this film struggled to scrape together at the box office when compared to the extraordinary success of the original.

If this beautiful and well executed fiLm was not the Joker I wouldn't have watched it. I would have liked it the same but wouldn't have wasted my time. Loser gets laid, becomes winner. Gets beat up. Is loser again. I didn't like the new matrix for its 'haha this movie's making fun of the movie' premise. At least this is funnier as a trick to get fans to watch this. What a waste of weight loss. Telephone is a much better musical Gaga prison caper.

Meh I liked it, not as much as Joker (2019) but liked it enough Not that it didn't have it's problems because it had so many, but not as many as some feel it has Seems the producers/writers had a few different ideas that they just decided to mush together which created this very average sequel. I've seen the first Joker three times, probably wouldn't give this a rewatch, would give a third a watch.
