JOKER: The Movie: Very Well Done

I have to say Joker the movie, I loved it. I noticed some ratings were not favorable. People as myself would compare this Joker to the Joker Heath Ledger played. But in my opinion in his very own outstanding talented way Joaquin Phoenix killed it, he made the Joker his own and for that I say bravo. I did not think it could be redone after Heath Ledger but I am admitting I was totally wrong. I love what Joaquin brought to the screen not to mention the writing that was written for the storyline. It started out as Thomas Wayne, Bruce Wayne's daddy was suppose to have impregnated a woman that works for him. But it was suppose to be all in the Jokers mom head, she was suppose to be psychotic and imagined sleeping with Thomas Wayne. But the character played by Thomas Wayne was an A-hole and he could have very well slept with the woman and covered it up to not ruin his reputation. So personally I wanted the storyline to continue with Arthur, aka the Joker to remain half brother to Bruce Wayne because this would have made for an excellent storyline when batman returned with this Joker. Bruce was younger at the time and he did not know that Arthur could possibly be his brother, so when the Joker would have appeared face to face with the Batman, could you have imagine how this storyline would go. It is all kinds of ways this storyline could have been written or taken into direction. I really wanted to go to the movies and see this movie, couldn't get anyone to go with me, so I waited, anticipating for the release on dvd and now that I saw it, I know I have missed out not seeing it when it came out in the movies. This actor Joaquin laughing in this movie was so infectious I found myself just busting out laughing for no reason, that is when you know they have made their mark because Mr. Phoenix made this part his own, the laugh, the make up and smile, it was all his own. Yes I think Mr. Phoenix is our new Joker in the Batman movies. Now I can not wait for the new Batman movie to come out with Joaquin Phoenix as Batman because like the movie I know he will kill it, but it will be even spicier with him taken on the caped crusader as they call him. I was really surprised how Mr. Phoenix, who was held in the movie as a hero by the people, because he accidentally was in their eyes fighting for the poor when he killed those rich wall street guys, but this was a self defense mood as we know, but from that he was held a hero to the poor people and it brought out a true villain, who Mr. Phoenix brought to the screen, with his laughter, his stories, his psychotic episodes and even his dancing, yes his dancing was one that was special to me, I loved it. I still think they should have at least left the possible of Arthur could have possibly been Bruch Wayne's brother, he didn't have to be, but if that left that possibility out there I just see how the Batman movies could have had some more substance to it. We some from the records he was abandoned as a baby and his mother apparently adopted him but allowed her boyfriend to abuse this poor little child and that is what had him in the stake he was in, Arthur apparently blocked all this out his mind when he got older until it was brought up again, but he was almost, and I said almost a little human when he thought of the possibility of his dad being Thomas Wayne, because he as any little boy wanted a dad and that was in the back of his mind, but then it was taken away from him, making him all cray cray again, but again it brought so much to the movie how Joaquin Phoenix brought this too the screen, it gave him the chance to put all his acting abilities out there because I saw this man go through a range of emotions and it had me going through a range of emotions watching it. All I can say at this point, well done and now I am here waiting on the next Joaquin as the Joker movie to appear because this time I hitting the theaters as soon as it comes out.
