epilogue wrote:Signs is the first film where JP showed any talent as an actor at all. Everything before that is laughably terrible, performance wise. The guy was a legit joke. Especially when compared (unfairly) to his infinitely more talented brother.

To his credit, he turned it around and showed he has real teeth. I've really loved him as an actor since. While there are films I'll never see (Napoleon) and films I wish I hadn't (Beau Is Afraid; a truly terrible film) JP continues to be interesting if not great.

I have no interest in this Joker sequel, but that's not because of him. It's because in spite of him the first one is stupid. And Gaga, though a remarkable talent as a singer and music performer, isn't a very compelling actor.

For those who've seen it: Is there anything in it that justifies the $200 million budget?

Besides the fact that I'm passionate about Cinema, I was just wondering if there was a big setpiece or something. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

I'm starting to buy into the idea that some of these high budget movies are some kind of money laundering operation. Something weird going on.

They have lots of big set pieces. It’s a musical.

Even dating back to batman tas.. Harley has to be the most overrated comic character ever

Everyone is complaining about the musical thing but it sounds way more exciting than the bore fest first joker

yeah, she got overrated with time. I liked her in the original cartoons, but after the movies it became so popular DC dont really know what to do with her anymore.

I am hearing that the scenes in the trailer were not in the movie… is that true? I know that has happened occasionally (Tie fighter on the bridge in Rouge One for example), but in this case people are saying “most”
