The Ew from Judas

Now that Joker is out of theaters and on streaming, many new eyes are on the movie and many of us are revisiting it. 
If you have rewatched the film since its streaming debut, have your thoughts on it  changed after seeing it again?

I’m currently in the middle of my rewatch and I can confidently say it’s not as bad as I remember. I think personally, I let myself get really swept up in the negative press and it left a bad taste in my mouth. Now, rewatching a few months later I think it’s alright-my problems with it are still there, but I think it’s kinda overhated.

It’s definitely over hated, but I personally won’t watch it again lol. I found the second half to be absolutely boring. The film starts to lean in to what was advertised (the two of them continuing into/falling into insanity together) but then it becomes a courtroom drama?

Nope, I thought it was a good movie when I saw it in theaters and I still think so after we watched it last night

It’s 100% overhated. I saw it twice in theaters and last night for a 3rd time on Max. I will always be disappointed by what the film could’ve been, however I still really loved it since the 1st watch.  It’s well acted and visually stunning, and it and discusses some very relevant and important subject matters. One day the right audience will find it, I truly believe that.

Not planning on it. I thought it was hot garbage on my first watch and just don’t see how it’ll change. It’s just not a good movie.

I saw it when released in cinema and hated it. My brothers didn't see it at the movies but invited me over to watch it on streaming and I hated it just as much then too. None of them liked it either

I don't think it deserves the hate it got online. Even when I watched it in theaters I thought it was ok but not amazing. Gaga was definitely under used but she did good with what she was given.

I watched it a couple of days ago and felt like it was way too long. Courtroom drama dragged too much. It has it's issues but not "the worst movie ever".

No I loved it from the first watch :vegas:

There's a couple things I would change but I don't need something to be perfect to appreciate or enjoy it (I do wish Gaga's story had more to it, and a couple of the scenes I would change around a little bit for it to be more perfect)

100% how I feel.

It's an over-hated film that I bet you more than half of the people who sh*t talked it on Twitter didn't even see. That said, while I enjoyed the first 1/3, when they got to the courtroom, it kinda lost me. I understand Phillips' intentions with the film, but it was executed poorly. 

The musical elements also weren't done well. They wanted to have their cake and eat it too by making it a musical but also did not fully commit to it. Just make the movie we all would've wanted and preferred: a Bonnie & Clyde-style story with Joker and Harley falling in love and having their shared delusions be these big spectacular music sequences.

Yeah, I completely agree. Everyone just immediately jumps to “worst of all time” when it is, in my opinion, just okay. But hey hate gets more clicks lol

Over hated, but not a great film either. This movie had so much potential had it been executed properly. What a shame.
