I actually enjoyed the movie. Although I didn’t see it as the movie of the year I didn’t get the people trashing it. However I also never saw Joker 1 either so was coming in fresh.

The full quote from his Vulture Top 10 of the year article.

"Finally, a love story I can relate to. So insane, so well thought out, so well directed, so much smoking! It’s “Jailhouse Rock” meets Busby Berkeley with a 9/11 “That’s Entertainment!” ending that will make you shake your head in cinematic astonishment. Stupid critics. Gaga so good. Joker so right. Die, dumbbells, die!"

I enjoyed the movie. I'm not a fan of Batman/Joker type movies so I wasn't set up to be disappointed. Gaga was good in it, and that has to be a positive for her career-wise.

I've loved the movie from the beginning and can't wait for the DVD. I've listened and read nonstop horrible reviews. If John Waters and I were the only 2 people in the world that liked it......I'd be ok with that. I feel validated.

Honestly I feel like Joker Folie à Deux will be far more appreciated after some time.

A lot people from industry already defended this movie, Quentin Tarantino included

I hope it gets some kind of reassessment when it hits Max, but I think that's being overly optimistic

I liked it in that it's messaging was ultimately provocative, despite whatever other flaws the movie had script/pacing-wise.

Tarantino likes it, John Waters likes it, evidence is pointing to a future cult classic so-bad-its-good B-movie m'gays :gayhat:

Edit: Are movies with this big of a major studio budget allowed to be called B-movies? :laughga:

"Gaga so good" - John Waters

Honestly. I did not like the movie but still think everyone knows she's great in the movie, even the people who hated it.

JFAD wasn’t what was expected or wanted from everyone butttt I truly think the hate campaign was overblown. It became a trend for people to just bash it, and I guarantee many of those people didn’t even see the film, they just hopped on the hate train.  I went into the film with my expectations on the floor after all of the initial reactions, and left confused because my friends and I really enjoyed it.  

Oh, it was 1000% overblown. If even half the people who hated the film on social media went to see it, it'd make a ton more money than it did :selena: People were just hating on it to hate on it.

The movie is not good, but it wasn't the sh*t show that many made it out to be.

One of the things I learned during the JFAD roll out was that one of the key points to the CinemaScore grade is basically: Did the movie live up to the marketing?

Which played a significant part in JFAD getting the lowest grade for a comic book movie. However much anyone might like the final product. I think its fair to say, its not the movie we hoped for or expected.
