- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2019
- We have our first stand-alone DC movie in the form of a character study origin for the clown prince of crime! Joker takes us on the slow descent of madness of an ordinary man subjected to the ugliness of society. Easily one of the most hyped movies of the fall, does it deliver the goods or is it a bad joke?

Just left the theater and that was a phenomenal movie. That was such a great performance from Phoenix and truly felt like the joker to me, it fully felt like how I view the joker.
Best Joker in 11 years though. Jared Leto doesn't count.
Wait …but …Joker not stupid though. This joker is slow and can’t fw Batman .
If Phoenix doesnt get an Oscar we riot.
Lol yeah
Do you know where we can buy those masks?
I hope not because my Oscar goes to Brad Pitt for Ad Astra
Jim Cameron I loved Ad Astra. I feel like it’s going to be an underrated gem that won’t get its due until years later unfortunately.
Welp...
This movie didn't F around. FANTASTIC performance. Love the metaphor of the stairs. He struggles to get up them but dances on the way down mimicking how happy he is to descend into madness.
I have a mental illness, and the way they portray mental illness in this movie is amazing. It's great how they never make fun of it. Some scenes in the movie made the audience laugh, but I sat there and felt sad and sorry. Society, family and friends always throw people with serious mental illness away, and this is a portrayal of what truly can happen.
It was beautiful I cried I'm glad you got the meaning home op of lol
Meant homie op og people have thrown me away for helping my dads mental illness or me having fibro laughed at me mocked me I'm always alone my dad's all I have when he does I'm alone.
All I have is my dad I'm so afraid of losing him my mom died from mental illness and I got there to see her die.
I feel that. I have multiple mental illnesses (bipolar II, MDD, GAD) and it’s like being trapped in a permanent prison where no matter how long you live with it, you still don’t quite understand it because it’s so unpredictable. I was diagnosed as a teenager over 10 years ago and there’s still some parts I just don’t get. Its not like we want to be this way. Our brains just aren’t wired completely right but we don’t deserve to be treated as pariahs because of it. But we are, and most of the time it’s because of the few bad apples that do cause harm.
@@skyofthelivingdead thanks honey your wonderful I get it I'm a male with fibro and I get spit and fire all the time I hope people treat you like the princess you are thank you and God bless you.
I don't use this term lightly, but this film truly is a masterpiece.
Too right....
A masterpiece in being too pretentious
Dude, see it a second time. I was worried about the rewatch value, too. The second time, it flew by, I saw so much more and it was a much more enjoyable watch. Loved this movie!
Joaquin Phoenix delivers one the best performances of ALL TIME!!!
Made me feel better lol so I'm proud of him.
This is a hot take, but yes, Joaquin deserved the oscar, but not for this movie.
Will Melucci what movie do you think he deserves an Oscar for?
@Tsearing Sports What a clown. Ledger is overrated af. The oscar was given to him. His performance was average at best for good actors. It was just a bland and simple take on one dimensional version of the Joker character. So many actors could pull out that kind of performance. Stop kidding yourself. He was nowhere near Joaquin's level in acting. Stop overhyping an average performance just because of his death. Best Actor award for Golden Lion, Golden Globe, Critics Choice, SAGA, BAFTA and Oscar. Around 80 awards worldwide. Two Guiness world records. Didn't depend on Batman to stay relevant in the movie. They just seemed to ignore it. Ledger's fanatics could be so cringy sometimes. Joaquin's Joker shits all over Heath's Joker all day.
@@caspeansea9179 Lol, "What a clown". Pun intended? The thing about Ledger's performance is that he really does seem unhinged and twitchy, like you know that you should not be near him cuz he could off you at any moment. He's someone who you definitely don't want to mess with, he's also very intelligent and calculating, and he's actually funny in a dark way. All these things is what makes Ledger's Joker amazing and it's what got him awarded posthumously. I think Pheonix did awesome, but for me and a lot of other people he's just a bit below Ledger because he doesn't quite show all these qualities, he just seems like a very fucked up person who just so happened to turn into the joker.
*It isn't over hyped at all, it really is that good.*
*Go see it.*
Seeing Detective Mike from Child’s Play in the hospital as the clerk was awesome!!
Especially after starring alongside another Joker. It's all connected.
from the original or remake?
John N. Remake
Jared Leto was dismissed the minute i saw suicide squad trailer.
Jared Leto in the orginal lovie had way more screen time. Actually trated Harley like sxxt. Was the villian at the end. In the extended cut he isn't bad. Besides his look he is way more accurate as the joker than Phoenix and Ledger. Leto is over hated by people who saw him and decided before seeing the movie they hate him. If he had his orginal screen time he would have been amazing
Going to see this in 7 hours. Also love that it’s R rated, they seem to do really well in comic book films and it’s yearly. Deadpool, Logan, Deadpool 2 and now Joker.
Yeah, I hate to admit, but it is a completely different world, and for the better, when comic book related films go R rated.
Definitely deserves a oscar after that movie.
For me it was a 7.5/10, good but not great. It was kind of a standard "loner descending into madness" film to me? It was nice to see a really dark comic book moviec and Joaquin was amazing in it but the story wasn't next level, it didn't have like crazy good payoff. I would love to see a sequel starring Joaquin where he actually becomes a crime lord.
Imagine if Stanley Kubrick wrote and direct this film, that would have been awesome.
@Phantom Alpha The only Joker was/is/will be forever = Jack Nicholson period
@@jimcameron1234 So butthurt, my god
@Phantom Alpha I don't think it was that hard for them to one-up Leto's Joker lol.
@@jimcameron1234 Jesus Christ, what a fucking loser ass bitch boy you are. Seriously, what a fucking pathetic take. Grow up, fuckstick.
I hate when y’all do this you can’t compare Kubrick to toad Phillips bro I love them both but there on a another level the joker movie was amazing it had a little bit of everything which I loved.
Joker is the first DC movie I really liked in a LONG time.
By far my favorite movie ever!!!!! So amazing, had chills the whole movie.
Hahahahaha
Not good. Not good at all.
The dark knight is better than joker
@@aydenbaldwin3041 disagree💀
@@Filmfanatic0430 it's your opinion
The bit of music from his bathroom dance is gonna be iconic.
I tweeted you earlier, and you didn’t even answer because you and I both knew, that you would go see this movie. Right on Cody! Love your work and keep it up!
I’m actually a fan of origin stories, that’s just me. Also, I knew Joaquin wouldn’t disappoint, I loved this film!!!! I do see what ya say with the over done laugh, though. The cinematography was an added bonus, loved it!!!!!!!!!🖤
A Cody Leach review always puts a smile on my face LOL.
A great review Cody, I'm going see it Tuesday & looking forward to it, as a bipolar manic depressive myself it'll intriguing to see how they approach the subject of mental illness.
Just saw Joker... by faaaar the best movie in 2019. One of the best if not the best performance since Heath.. Surprised u wasn’t more exited bro😂 This movie is like art. In my opinion. So unique.. Joaquin is damn damn good. Flawless. Anyways, great review brother! Watching the Breaking Bad review now 😍
It's basically a blend between Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, but less adult and disturbing. What's unique about it?
I LOVE THIS MOVIE EASILY THE BEST OF 2019
Robert DeNiro, in my point of view was a treat to see in this movie
Cody, one thing everyone forgets about Todd Phillips is that his first film was "Hated," the GG Allin documentary. One of the grittiest and disturbing movies I've ever seen. Joker reminds me alot of Hated actually
This film was very dark and hit home hard. It’s probably going to haunt me for a while...
Why I fucking love it lol Dr doom is pleased lol with Trump this movie and society waking the fuck up lol.
I'll never forget it like us that's what a good film or good art does it makes people look at themselves In the mirror and acquaint themselves with there inner monster demons I will always appreciate film kicking people in the balls very hard.
My dad and me felt better knowing people would see that not the violence the message like us it's a cry for people to fucking stop it's like a Scorsese film had sex with Jordan peeled us lol
Todd and him should collaborate they both have big balls lol.
That opening of yours just had me in stitches. Well done. Holy cow was that powerful stuff. what a performance by phoenix. not my favorite film of the year but its top 3 for me thus far. He did a great job of making this his own yet still feel like the same character that ledger, romero, or nicholson (even hammill) were playing.
As a since childhood horror fan, your background is beautiful in every single way
I just discovered this channel almost 2 weeks ago and binge watched all of the Freddy and Chucky reviews and ranks. I also binge watched most of the other movie reviews on here.
I love your reviews! U are just so honest true to your own opinions!! U seem like u would be awesome guy to just chill with and talk movies!! Thanks again for your great video reviews!!
Thank you
God I’ve been so hyped for this movie. Can’t wait to see what Joaquin Phoenix can bring to Joker. Love the content too.
He kills his mom and De Niro. Purposeful spoiler
@@justinelkins560 I wonder how much of a loser you have to be to do that. You can't control yourself, do you? Such a sad life, while everybody is having fun.
Justin Elkins 🖕🏼
Justin Elkins you’re a douchebag. Purposeful insult
@@dalestrunk1749 Have you already watched the movie?
.... Excellent video Cody! Beautifully done review and analysis. (Yes, you're correct! TWO HOURS OF MISERY, depression, and violence. Quite taxing & dispiriting).
Very funny intro (as usual), and an excellent review (also as usual!).
I'm pretty much in agreement with you on this one; yes, it's very good, but those who hyped it to the skies should probably watch Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, which this film does not match (though that's also a very high bar to clear!). I will give this film credit, though, for melding the two movies' ideas and themes quite well, and presenting things in a way that works as both a modern movie and a throwback-style film. It also did just what you said: giving us a back-story that doesn't just ruin the mystique of a well-loved character or universe, like these things usually do.
There were some bits in the movie that felt a little unnecessary, such as the imaginary neighbor (in fact, the second hour of the movie in general didn't live up to the first); even the inclusion of the Waynes seemed a bit shoehorned-in, especially when it comes to the age of the Joker relative to that of Bruce. The father character, though, helped reveal the fact that those who called the movie alt-right propaganda or some-such probably hadn't watched the damn thing, given that he's a fairly cartoonish portrayal of a rich villain.
Leading from that (as well as from all the positive hype surrounding the movie), all the apocalyptic, angry denunciations surrounding this also puzzled me: given the semi-sympathetic (or even outright sympathetic) treatment accorded to murderous characters in past movies, why did some people consider this one to be over the line? Yes, Taxi Driver caused some controversy when it came out, but I don't know that it was to this extent. For that matter, Monster, which gives a pretty sympathetic portrayal of a serial killer, was generally praised, with only a few dissenters noting that a male serial killer would never get a film like Wuornos got there. (For the record, I did like that movie, but also understand the detractors.) The furor also conflicts a little bit with all the fuss over Nolan's third Batman movie, which some called right-wing propaganda - many of these same people are saying the same thing about this movie, even though those who get sympathetic treatment and those who don't are almost completely reversed! For that matter, it also counters the complaints made by (again, largely the same) people who disliked the lack of a back-story or explanation of why the pirates in Captain Phillips did what they did.
Obviously hyping fans and over-sensitive critics should be the least important aspect of a movie, but given how much those two groups overshadowed the actual damn film, one can't really avoid discussing them.
Seeing it tomorrow and can't wait!
Awesome review 👍, I loved the new Joker movie
I would never have guessed ;-)
Send in the clowns
Love the channel, see you got a trick r treat shirt on, let’s get a review for that!
Best review I’ve seen hands down so far...💯
The best movie that’s been made in yearssssssss and should be given it’s credit for being a movie that’s more then great. Definitely not over hyped at all. Even non comic book fans love it.
It's overhyped
Agree it's overhyped
Great review. Very insightful!
Reminds me of Martin Scorsese feel to it but I enjoyed it
Bro put some respect on my boy Cody name man Nd he deserves more subscribers💯he knows what he’s talkin abt
It's all one big movie, Cody. Great review.
Cody’s thumbnail makes him look like Captain Spaulding 😂😂
5:54 . yeh dude i was so SPECTACLE about this movie too. 😂 😂 😂
Agree with most of your thoughts on this film! Great review, as always you explain yourself really well and I respect that! However, it is my number one movie for the year. It passed Avengers for me. Phoenix definitely deserves at least an Oscar nom. I was invested the whole movie and loved how far it went to portray a realistic take on Joker! I for sure wanna see more of these sprinkled in with the shared universe stuff!
Hopefully I can see it this weekend
Just come back from cinema, LOVED IT, LOVED IT, LOVED IT
Great review Cody!
I’ve been waiting to hear your opinion on this I was blown away with the acting
Enjoyed listening to ur thoughts on this Movie Cody. Gonna watch it myself soon
Another top notch review 👌
Joaquin Phoenix blew me away. This was by far my favorite film this year.
Nice review, Cody! I definitely agree - this could easily be it's own standalone movie without any of the Batman, Joker, or Gotham stuff. It certainly doesn't feel like your usual comic book movie and I think that's something that works to this movie's advantage. It's a conflicting slow burn, but man does Phoenix elevate it all with his performance.
I’m glad you enjoyed it I’m planning to see joker and zombieland back to back
@Cody Leach I’m a huge fan of your channel, I have seen this 3 times already I saw it twice in theaters once with my dad and my friend David and once with my mom who absolutely hated the movie’s dark and consistently sad tone and I watched it once by myself on VOD. All 3 times I saw this movie so far tomorrow will be my 4th with my brother since he hasn’t seen it yet, I keep thinking I totally agree with you the controversy and the whole best of the year hype was totally unwarranted. Joaquin Phoenix however, earning best actor at the oscars was totally warranted as I feel his in Joker was the best performance I saw all year last year personally.
I already knew people were overhyping it so that never bothered me but that doesn’t change the fact that it was a very good movie
Great review as always Cody. I saw this movie yesterday over here in 'not so great Britain' and it's really stayed with me. Without the Gotham/Wayne family references you could almost put this into the Unbreakable universe.
When they are acted and directed well, dark slow burner movies are my favourites. But like Split, without the lead performance this movie could have been a disaster. Fortunately though, Phoenix nailed it - and then some! His performance at least deserves a nomination.
It was the ending that really stuck with me. After thinking about it (most of the night), Ive come to the conclusion that this movie owes a lot more to American Psycho than people realise. I'm probably being over-analytical though because when alls said and done, I just fucking love this movie!!!
Thank you for sharing. I love your channel, and I’ll definitely see the movie.
I want a DC scarecrow origin story because he’s my favourite batman villain
Good review🤘
Joker and Shazam are two for two for me, I absolutely loved both of these films.
Good review 👍
Joker is my favorite comic book character and I had the same fears. I love that they kept the mystery as to what happens
Awesome video
THE BATHROOM SCENE WAS AMAZING
Great opening line!
What's the line again? I forgot
Nvr mind I thought you were mentioning about the 1st line of the movie. Guess you're talking about Cody's first line lol
Bulb Bulb yea Jared Leto can move to the side now
Jared Leto was dismissed the day that Suicide squad trailer launch
There are so many little pieces that can be linked to joker lore. It is pretty depressing but it's made in a way that you can't keep your eyes off it. Beautifully made dark, gritty and Phoenix is not just good but great. It probably won't win any Oscars because its a comic book movie but nominations would show how good it is. You nailed this review mate. Thanks again.
It's hard for me to put into words how good I found Joker (2019) made by the director Todd Phillips. This movie is great and so far one of my favorite movies from this year and in my opinion the best movie of 2019.
The cinematography of the film was gorgeous, the soundtrack was mostly perfect, the acting was good too but probably the main reason why I love this movie so much is Joaquin Phoenix. What a fantastic actor!
I love the Dark Knight trilogy from Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger's Joker. Ledger gave us a realistic Joker for the first time and Phoenix continued his legacy with respect. Phoenix gave us the same in his own way with a deeper background. In addition with an excellent Joker performance e.g. the Dancing and his Joker laugh. Just fantastic!
The Joker's Mystery is still contained in this movie and although it's an Origin Story, I still have the feeling that the Joker has remained a complete Mystery and will probably always remain.
The movie gets a 9/10 from me. The best DC movie since The Dark Knight (2008)
Amazing movie. Stunning performances all around and so disturbingly brilliant. Favorite of the year
I loved your review. This is one of my favorites of the year, though I completely agree with you on how critics and fans were overhyping this film like it's the next big masterpiece or how it's one of the most violent movies ever made. The DC Comics movie Watchmen was released in theaters 10 years ago, and that is ten times as morbid as this.
I don't know Cody, but my standard of viewing the joker is Mark Hamill in Batman: The animated series.
It could be because it was the 1st time I viewed batman & Joker was a crazy psychopath hellbent on playing games with batman.
This movie reminded me of Taxi driver (1976) & The King of comedy (1982).
Just saw this... I thought it was absolutely amazing. My heart was pounding because I had no idea what to expect next. Man was this movie freaking awesome.
You should go back to the last intro song, idk the name of it though😂😂
I was a little surprised by how far it went to be honest. Even as a horror fan. I was very impressed by Joaquin Phoenix and thought he took it a level up.
It's a masterpiece.
Great intro lol
Decent film with a stellar performance basically.
Where would you rank this in your 2019 Ranking List? And whats ahead of it?
Probably top 5. Endgame, Dragged Across Concrete, Glass are my top 3
I hope your family and you are doing well Cody I almost cried just I only have my dad so this movie hits me so hard and it hurts so much.
All I could think when watching this movie is how great Phoenix could be in a Scorsese movie. He’s perfect for that kind of role. As for this being overhyped, that applies much more to Black Panther. Interesting thing about Joker is that it is completely grounded in real life. It’s a comic book movie that could actually happen in America and that really makes it much more disturbing than Black Panther or even Logan, which I agree was the most original take on this genre before Joker.
Great review man, but sorry this film for me was not over hyped. It is FOTY for me, but hey Tomato; Tamato...Great reveiw👏👏🤘✌
One of the greatest movies of all time. Just saw it.
i watched this on my 18th birthday in 2021 and i absolutely loved it.
I just left the movie. My jaw was dropped the entire ride home. Easily going to make my top 5 of the year.
I loved it and I’m not gonna lie, I overhyped the movie posting all the trailers up to this point of seeing it. His portrayal was great n he’s now in my top 2 of jokers. I felt for him especially in Arkham state hospital. I can smell a sequel coming tho. Great review as always,Cody !
GurlyGamez Unfortunately there’s not gonna be a sequel, this is a stand alone movie. Plus Joaquin Phoenix is not into doing sequels from what I hear, so most likely not happening. Damn shame!!
This man's shirt deserves an Oscar nod.
Long live Sam!
Wow. What a ride. Definitely in my top 5 of the year.
Loved your review ! Going to see tomorrow. Dude where did u get that shirt ? Freakin awesome
Fright rags
awesome review as always. I saw it twice already and loved it. I am not that much into the sympathy factor. I think Joker is NOT someone you want to feel sorry for but anyway Cody, a question for you: do you feel this Joker could become the master villain he is in the Comics? I have my doubts. The last scene makes you think he could. What do you think?
Thank you for your review of Joker I agree I also wished I heard it before I saw it good yes but not great.
Great review man what's your favorite movie of the year so far man?
I definitely get your point on it being overhyped!! I ADORE this movie!! But I'm a MASSIVE FAN of Joker and Batman and this movie felt like it was made for me lol sooo I was going to love regardless if it was an Oscar contender or not.. My favorite movie of the year but that is already kinda obvious 😂😂
Wow it’s so weird for Cody to talk about Joaquin Phoenix’s career and not mention Johnny Cash “Walk the Line”
It’s been nominated for 11 Oscars lol it deserved the hype
Saw it this weekend and I loved it although it wasn't as dark or violent as I had hoped it would be. I was skeptical of Joaquin Phoenix playing Joker at first but came out a fan, in fact I think he is my new favorite Joker actor.
heath ledger is smiling at joaquin phoenix right know :)
Well, the Joker is still an enigma in the movie. Eventhough we get a glimpse of his upbringing, we still dont know where he's actually from being an adopted child who was given a name.
Jared Leto was not the joker.
i walked out of the theater and i told my son " that is one of the greatest movies i've ever seen "
It really was something else ! Great film man
It's even better the second time!
