Joker: Folie à Deux Rezensionen & Wertungen
- Desmond Dale24. Januar 2025Man, I came in with such low expectations that I actually ended up liking the film overall, though obviously it has some big glaring problems as well. I guess I just don't understand what people thought the movie would be when they pictured a Joker musical in their heads. The singing is definitely flat and tonally off but I think that's what makes it more everyman and human. It's certainly a bit long and the pacing feels a little sluggish at times but Phoenix and Gaga carry the film showcasing some chemistry and full investment into their characters. I wish there were more original songs but the covers are also in line with the everyman approach to the musical pieces. This isn't Moulin Rouge or Les Mis but rather it's something completely stripped down, bare bones and depressive. The musical pieces offer a glimpse into the fractured psyche of the protagonist and as such sometimes the transitions got a little messy and opaque but that seems largely by design I suspect the animated prologue and expectations from the first film are what sent people off on such a hate train for this film. It's also an incredibly easy film to turn into a meme or shit on with some clever puns for likes but I really don't think the hate is warranted. I think they managed to repudiate rather than embolden the incel fan base of the prior film. I enjoyed this film more than the first also because it didn't feel like a hackneyed reskin of King of Comedy. Sure, there's very little that's original, but Joker 2 doesn't feel so tethered to its influences.
- Ntinos Terpsisvor 5 TagenAmazing acting from Joaquín Rafael Phoenix but the movie is awful. Nothing to remind you of Joker...
- Daniel Gustavsson23. November 2024Just as good as the first one, although very different from it. I have watched a lot of movies so this didn't really strike me as the weird movie that people seem to think it is. It's about the meaninglessness, and the stage we call life. Most people just doesn't understand that.
- Paul Walsh3. März 2026I actually think this movie is low-key hilarious for the way it ultimately treats its antihero. All those cringe Joker lovers out there must have been pretty upset by the way their beloved was totally annihilated by film's end.
- jackmeat15. Mai 2025My quick rating - 4.7/10. After dancing around the idea of diving into this unlikely sequel, I finally sat down to watch Joker: Folie À Deux, bracing myself for the cinematic equivalent of stepping on a rake. After all, Joker (2019) was a near-flawless film—moody, haunting, and unrelentingly raw. It was lightning in a bottle. Could Todd Phillips really do that again? And if so… as a musical? Apparently, he thought he could—honestly, I can't tell if that's bold or just absolutely bonkers. Either way, here it is. The film picks up more or less in the chaotic wake of Arthur Fleck’s televised execution of Murray Franklin. Now incarcerated in Arkham and awaiting trial, Arthur’s fractured mind finds a new outlet: music. Cue the hallucinations, the surreal dance numbers, and the duets with his new partner-in-crime—and love—Lee Quinzel, played by Lady Gaga. And let me say, Gaga absolutely kills it. She leans hard into the mania, yet manages to give Harley Quinn something vulnerable, strange, and captivating. Joaquin Phoenix matches her note for note, both in madness and melody. That said, Folie À Deux feels less like a sequel and more like an experimental dream spliced from cut scenes of the original. It’s as if this were the back half of a four-hour epic that someone sliced into its own movie and thought, “Let’s throw in show tunes and call it art.” And weirdly… sometimes it works. The performances are magnetic. The visual tone is stunning. The musical numbers, while divisive, feel purposefully unhinged, which suits the characters, even if it doesn't always suit the plot. But that's the thing: there isn't really a plot. We’re dragged through Arthur’s trial, his descent (or rise?) into infamy, and his romantic obsession with Quinzel, but it all feels like a series of set pieces with no clear destination. He murdered someone on live TV and admitted it. The trial lacks tension. We know how it ends before it begins. And yet, the film asks us to feel something about it all, even as it refuses to justify why we should. Then there's the unfortunate inclusion of Harvey Dent, portrayed by Harry Lawtey. This version of Dent is hollow, forgettable, and clearly only here because the lore demands it. It’s a disservice to the character and, frankly, the actor. Dent deserves better than this awkward script-dump of lines. Still, what saves Folie À Deux from complete collapse are the lead performances. Phoenix and Gaga are perfectly cast, and their chemistry, while deranged, is absolutely electric. Without them, this would be a disastrous vanity project. With them, it becomes a fascinating misfire that you can’t quite look away from. So is it good? I’m not sure it cares. Is it worth watching? If you're curious—absolutely. Just don’t expect Joker 2. This is Joker: The Musical, and that is about all you need to know.
- The Gutter Monkey22. März 2025A sequel so bad that it almost ruins the original. It had potential up until about the halfway point—then came some questionable writing decisions.
- ርልዪረ15. Februar 2025It had the potential to be a good film. Sadly, it’s not. All the hype about Lady Ga Ga as Harley Quinn was reduced to nothing but a waste of time. Come back Margot Robbie-all is forgiven. Frankly it’s one of those rare occasions when I would be tempted to ask for my money back! I really don’t know what everyone involved in making the film were attempting to do but they really shouldn’t have bothered!
- csb5023. Februar 2026Not what I expected, but amazing. He was brilliant in this.
- Brandon J Hicks18. Januar 2026It wasn't nearly as bad as everyone's been saying. Honestly, I only watched for Connor Storrie...
- Francis Hehle3. Januar 2026Get rid of most of the singing, then this movie is great
- DEXAPLEX8. Dezember 2025Perhaps this is just (another) case of my expectations being incredibly low, but i actually somewhat enjoyed this. While it is certainly not as good as the first one, Phoenix and Gaga still commit to their roles in a way that makes you feel like they truly understand the characters they're playing. And the cinematography remains up to par with the Joker that came before it. There is quite a bit lacking in the plot, and it's clear the film wants to separate its "message" from its predecessor, which makes you ultimately question what the point of all this is. Naturally all that knocks the movie down a couple pegs. But it is too well-crafted and kept together with solid performances for me to agree with all the negative reviews that seem to regard it as complete slop. It seems the reception of this movie once again suffers for the mere fact that it is called Joker. But if you've watched one Joker, i see no reason why you can't watch Folie à Deux.
- MrTrivet15. September 2025Joker 2 Entertains So Good When U Ain’t Got A Bitch In Ya Ear Telling You It’s Nasty Seriously though, I thought I’d understand why people hate this movie, but instead I feel misunderstood myself, because to me it’s a stylish, profound study of trauma and mental illness that narratively and thematically feels like an expansion of the Gotham world created in the first part. Phoenix gives it his all, and together with Gaga they create a musical drama that has so much to say about loneliness, the need for acceptance, toxicity, trauma and broken minds, the glorification of anarchy, the glorification of order, and who knows what else. Maybe I’ve gone mad, or maybe you’re the crazy ones, but I get the impression that the critics of this film treat Arthur in their assessments just as instrumentally as his on-screen tormentors and supporters do.
- Chris Orellana2. Juni 2025I guess all i can say is watch it, and get it over with. You won't get those 2 and a half hours of your life back, but now you don't have to wonder if it really was "that bad"...because spoiler, it was.
- Lakari30. Oktober 2025One star is for Lady Gaga only….everything else fell by the wayside
- LBalian16. Oktober 2025Boating! No action! Couldn't watch more than the first 20 or 30 minutes I was so bored.
