Joker Folie a Deux is a cautionary tale. The first film was so successful because it painted this deeply disturbed individual in a sympathetic light. Society desperately latched onto Arthur Fleck as a symbol of their outrage and frustration with the failed systems that had become the prison of their lives. While there are shadows of that in this film, it's drowned in a sea of unnecessary musical theatrics and a terrible and underwhelming conclusion. Unfortunatley, the consensus opinion is the correct one. It would have been better if they just let the original stand on its own. As always thanks for watching!
I loved Joker. This was hard to watch in a bad way.
That's a good way of saying it.
