Well they took a swing. Not terrible and its more original than the first which I always felt aped Scorcese too much. But the first Joker is better executed. Plus this movie tries but it just ended up not being particularly compelling.
I think this movie would've been better had they not revisit so much of the predecessor. I appreciate the commentary but they could've accomplished it by having the movie look more forward than backward. Also I think it would've been more interesting if they made Harley the POV character so we can focus on her development while still making Arthur the lead. We've learned as much as we could've about Arthur and they don't REALLY tread new ground with him in this, so Harley would've been better.
Oh well. They dropped the ball on this one.
And the ending. I didn't hate it. I was just indifferent to it. Didn't feel earned.
