Critics Consensus: Joaquin Phoenix's eponymous Joker takes the stand in a sequel that dances around while the story remains still, although Lady Gaga's wildcard energy gives Folie á Deux some verve.

Lowest CBM cinemascore incoming
This is already an all around absolute disaster ☠️
Flaming hot take
Wild Robot’s third weekend will be over twice as high as Joker’s second weekend
Could the final total end below The Marvels ($84.5M)? The Marvels has 2x the Verified Score (82%) and a B Cinemascore.
From what I’ve heard about the choices the movie makes, looks like Joker 2 is getting what it deserves.
STOP THE COUNT!!
Everyone on Twitter is clowning it, Even the Letterbox film Bros aren’t having it… We might be witnessing CBM history right now
This is beyond the Marvels. This is reviled. Not mildly disliked or people think it’s meh. People absolutely despise this thing. Not even a surface level “it’s kind of fun” “breezy” etc.
This film sounds like it was written by aslum inmates.
My plan to have a double feature of this and Megaoplis on Saturday is gonna be hell of a time at least.
JESUS.FUCKING.CHRIST.
“You get what you fucking deserve!!!”
And remember, this time WB decided to go full out and slap 200M on this thing.
The first one they chickened out when the budget was a mere 70M…
Edit: And I also wonder, is there like a conscious effort by some people at WB to sabotage some of their IPs? I just don’t get this. I haven’t seen the movie yet, but from what I hear, some of the choices in it are like… made to ensure that it doesn’t succeed. This reminds me of the latest Matrix movie.
I just watched this movie. Genuinely the worst comic book movie I have ever seen. And I watched Catwoman and Green Lantern and The Flash. The scene where >!the Joker gets raped!< was the the cherry on top of this shit sundae
BatmanArkham leaking
Todd Philips doesn’t know how to make a sequel.
I mean… That’s what you get when you make a movie designed to piss off your audience.
In my mind, both the director and Joaquin just did it for the paycheck after WB wouldn’t stop harassing them for a sequel and then they just asked for a ridiculous amount of budget, made a thing to shit on them and then dipped.
Joaquin with Beau, Napoleon and now Joker 2 looks to be in a funk. Can’t say he is the problem but he is picking some bad projects to be a part of lately.
So D CinemaScore?
You’re laughing. Joker 2 is being shredded all over the internet and you’re laughing.
Critics and audience score both both at 39% now.
LET THE SCORE HIT THE FLOOR
LET THE SCORE HIT THE FLOOR
LET THE SCORE HIT THE FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR
Pack it up. This movie is a wrap.
For people who don’t know, this movie basically makes fun of and insults fans of the first movie which is a bold move considering those fans made it successful. The ending was trash and cheap. Deserves what’s coming to it.
