Joker certified rotten on rotten tomatoes?

[Naufri 7,163]

But she should start chasing good characters and stop chasing oscars nominations. If you play finely written characters, nominations will come eventually.

i know that working with Ridley or co-star on Joker 2 looked good on paper but, the paper you need to be good is the f script.

I think it's about time this fanbase stops perceiving her success (or lack thereof) as something that will "affect us" in any capacity. Her achievements aren't "ours", and neither are her "failures". 

She's beyond rich, I think she can survive jumping on a project that was artistically stimulating for her, even if it doesn't do as well on the box office. She had #1 albums, #1 songs, Grammys, an Oscar, etc. 

If the Joker project isn't a hit with the audience, and the album she recorded for it never enters the top 10... it's fine . You're giving stan Twitter way too much power, other fanbases "dragging" us on social media is such a non issue, lol. Like, I could understand that mentality when we were all teens, but we're literally geriatric now, we are WAY too old, to care whether or not Taylor stans on Twitter laugh at her chart placements. Like, who cares? . 

It is such an exhausting way to experience an artist's work. Constantly focusing on how other people perceive it, whether it is accepted by the masses or not, etc. 

She's not an emerging artist anymore, she's got nothing to prove. If one of her project flops, whatever, is not like she's struggling to pay rent . 

She took a risk with Joker, critics do not seem to be on board with it, life goes on, is not that deep, lol. 

this comment needs pinning on every thread

this movie went from my most anticipated movie from Gaga to least  now I’m contemplating if I still should give it a shot this weekend.. oh Todd Phillips I always doubted you

its so funny cause right before Venice reviews ppl here were like, "ohh Todd, the father that you are" lmaoo

[thisboyisamonster 745]

I'm gonna go see it because am a fan of the first one and Gaga, but from the reviews I've heard so far - my expectations are super low. This might be the type of film that ends up being labelled "we did not need or ask for this"...but I hope not!

I can’t believe I’m saying this but after the last few weeks, I can’t wait for the Joker era to be behind us. I’m convinced it won’t do well, and I doubt there will be awards.
This is gonna be quite the wound for us monsters who have been saying she was coming for GP success again. And LG7 will probably be quite niche in terms of mass appeal.

At least DWAS has found an audience in the GP, even if I don’t care for the song 🫠

Ma'am you can log off you know, you don't HAVE to be here. 

Let us actually enjoy this era without the negativity please

i read reviews and most say Gaga did a fantastic job and that it's a shame she didn't have more screen time or character development/background

She is pretty great but she’s barely in it. It didnt even feel like a supporting role to me. The way they have edited around her in the movie, she hardly has any impact.

While its obvious she really connected with Harley Quin as a character, I've always felt like part of why she signed up for JFAD is that it felt like an Oscar bait sequel given the success of the first. 

It was always a risk to go with a comic book universise film franchise though - especially the DC cinematic universe which is the messiest of messy.

[Ivy 11,603]

It's sad, but at the same time like others said, who cares lmao. Gaga seems super happy with her experience making the film and that's the most important

I mean I wish it would do really well and get awards, but at least it's divisive which I think it's kinda cool. I only am hoping that Gaga's not upset or sad about it 

[Hennycomb 3,105]

It kinda bums me out that people aren't liking it, of course, and I also saw some people with that discourse "why did they put a pop star, it always ruins the movies, Gaga is playing herself again, she is not acting" and I hate that BUT on the other hand it was so fun and fulfilling watching the incels cry and cry yesterday saying that the second movie looks like an apology for making the first one and that they "castrated" Joker. If misogynistic men are sad, I'm happy. The movie did a good job in the end.

We get a huge movie where she's playing an iconic character that's feeding her creatively, she's happy, releasing music, and most people are praising her performance, but because it's not the most universally loved film... some of yall want the whole "era" to be over before it even releases worldwide? Why are numbers and random reviews more important to you than what she wants? Why should she move on from when we knew from the jump a lot of people were going to complain about the movie no matter what? 

This is why she's the artist and some of yall are just the public.

A win for us because this made her not ready to let go of the character (now we know why because she was barely in it) even when filming wrapped hence why we got LG6.5 

[Nycboy 953]

Uh oh it’s down to 47% 

[MOT 2,660]

I had hopes that she was going to be involved in some groundbreaking masterpiece, and I loved the trailers, but obviously now that's not how it's gonna be. I'm still looking forward to seeing it though, and based on what I've seen and heard I know that I MIGHT like it. Most of the reviews I've seen on youtube have been negative,but they have almost all been by people who were clearly big fans of the Batman/Joker genre. Well I'm not in that group, so this movie still has a chance with me.
