Joker Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Daniel Gustavsson12. Oktober 2024Not the masterpiece some people make it out to be. But a good movie nonetheless. It drags a bit in some parts too, although the ending is fantastic!
- ConnorR26. März 2026Justifiable villain. I love when characters finally snap and it’s overly justified. This movie is great
- cferaco22. September 2025Joker is less a comic book movie and more a scream from the basement of society, a story about the kids nobody wanted and the adults the system threw away. Arthur Fleck isn’t celebrated because he’s strong, he’s remembered because he’s broken, and the film forces us to see how many people we walk past every day who are one bad push away from collapse. Like Fight Club, it isn’t about glorifying the chaos but about admitting the chaos was already there, festering in the shadows we chose not to look at.
- Nathan Magreta21. Juni 2025In joker, Todd Phillips has masterfully shown an iconic villain a realistic backstory, and when amplified with Joaquin phoenix's historically amazing performance and some amazing sound and other technical stuff, this film is a masterpiece. Best film of the 2010s.
- tellum10. März 2026More Taxi Driver than Taxi Driver.
- jkljlk11975. März 2026"I used to think that my life was a tragedy. But now I realize... It's a comedy."
- hybrid201183. Februar 2026Great movie, Great actor, do yourself a favor and watch this one.
- brossa015. Januar 2026The movie is well done, but I don't care for movies that depict mental degradation. Plus, I can't stand Zero DiNiro.
- Lucas Magreta3. Juli 2025this was awesome. very R. and that means deserves it's R rating. and this was just a Greta way to intreduces joker and show how he became what we all know he is. joker is one of the most famouse villans but this takes a diffrent approach on him and shows why he is this supervillan
- Jakeys3. Januar 2026Honestly if not for the great performances, I'd probably have really disliked this movie. As it stands, it was just okay. Dark, gritty, again really powerful acting, but not too much else going for it. Also, I watched this in the cinema and a guy came in and ate a bag of corn chips and scrolled his phone on full brightness nearby, swore about how bad the movie was and walked out. Quite the discerning critic. I don't think I hated it that much, but I also didn't blame him.
- medinabello30. Dezember 2025Superb gritty contemporary visually and musically brilliant too. Phoenix is incredible as The Joker and I love the rawism of the movie. The Joker is the people's hero.
- Manuel Frangis21. Oktober 2025I just watched Joker and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This movie completely took my breath away. It is one of those films that pulls you into its world and makes you feel every emotion deep inside. It is dark, heartbreaking, and haunting in a way that stays with you long after it ends. What makes it so powerful is how real it feels. It does not try to glamorize anything. It shows a man slowly falling apart in a world that seems to keep pushing him down. Watching that transformation is both painful and fascinating because it shows how society can break someone when they are already fragile. Joaquin Phoenix gives one of the greatest performances I have ever seen. Every single movement, laugh, and facial expression feels raw and real. You forget you are watching an actor. It feels like you are watching someone’s soul unravel right in front of you. The way he uses silence, the way his eyes show pain, and the way his laugh becomes part of his suffering make this performance unforgettable. It is art in its purest form. The music and cinematography only make it more powerful. Every shot feels carefully made to show his isolation and the chaos around him. The score builds tension and emotion without even needing words. The city feels alive yet cold, full of people but still empty. You can feel how alone he is in every frame. What I love most is that Joker makes you think. It is not just a comic book origin story. It is a story about pain, neglect, and what happens when people lose compassion for each other. It is about mental health, loneliness, and how easy it is for someone to feel invisible. It does not excuse his actions, but it makes you understand how he got there. It makes you reflect on the world around you and how much empathy matters. By the time the movie ended, I just sat there thinking. It is rare for a film to make me feel so many things at once. It is tragic, emotional, and brilliant. Joker is not just a movie. It is an experience that makes you see the human side of chaos. I would easily call it one of the most impactful movies of the past decade. I will never forget it, and I know I will watch it again.
- Richard Scott Long18. September 2025Terrific! Phoenix is outstanding!
- mickerdoo12. August 2025Little too long to ramp up for me. Really only enjoyed the talk show and when he walked into the glass door. Skilled performance, though.
- ርልዪረ6. August 2025Joker is a drama movie in the vein of movies like Taxi-Driver and King of Comedy, It is a horror movie without any jump-scares or any other horror movie tropes and it is a comic-book origin movie about the most notorious and iconic villain. This movie will make you uncomfortable very often but ultimately it will force upon you some difficult questions that most movies shy away from asking. This is one of the few comic-book movies which will force you to think for hours after you have seen it. Joker is a movie about Arthur Fleck (played brilliantly by "Joaquin Phoneix") who had some psychopathic tendencies but due to deteriorating conditions of Gotham and certain events that took place in the span of the movie leads him to lose it completely and become the villain we all know as Joker. The movie in its 2-hour runtime focuses completely on Arthur Fleck and shows his descent into becoming the joker and that journey is very well showcased, sometimes it is so realistic that some might consider it almost horror-like. The main credit goes to Joaquin Phoneix for such brilliant acting definitely Oscar-worthy, he is the main reason that the journey is believable you may feel bad for the character but you will also be able to feel the darkness deep inside which endorse his actions, the darkness which is slowly unravelled throughout the span of the movie. The rest of the supporting casts were great as well especially Robert De Niro. The movie is directed by Todd Philips who before this had only directed movies like Hangover and Due date. This movie was a great departure from his usual type of movies but he pulled it off, you could tell he is a big Scorsese fan as this movie is heavily inspired by Taxi Driver. Like Taxi Driver this movie is a bit of a slow burner and slowly picks up the pace which really helps in understanding the character a lot better especially since this movie was a character study. As the descent into madness started so does the pacing of the movie. The cinematography was very beautiful, the tone of the movie really helped in showcasing the deteriorating Gotham and characters. The soundtrack of the movie was also very good again I think it was very similar to Taxi Driver, It wasn't omnipresent, though when played it increased the tension very easily. I am really glad that a movie like this exists. When comic-book movies are so saturated it is important that we have directors and actors who take risks like these. Projects like these (if successful) could break the monotony that has shrouded the comic-book genre. You may not end up liking the movie but that should not stop you from recognising it for its uniqueness and its bold take. Having said that I really loved this movie to bits and would love to see it again and again for its mesmerising performances, beautiful cinematography, lovely score and especially for its unique take.
