Joker 2 Set To Become Biggest Bomb Of The Century
It’s funny to me that this is news or that it’s even remotely surprising to anyone that Joker 2 is a total flop, given that the first Joker was one of the stupidest movies I’ve ever seen in my life. (The only movie this century that I might’ve hated more was 2007’s mind-blowingly dumb Juno.) Based on the dreadful 39% “tomatometer” and these humiliating reviews, it looks like Joker 2 will go down as one of the biggest bombs of the century, which is a richly deserved honor for the most annoying egomaniac on earth, Joaquin Phoenix, and the biggest hack director in film history, Todd Phillips. As far as Lady Gaga, well, she already has her Oscar (granted, it was for a song, but still), so she should stop trying to be the next Barbra or Cher and just stick to singing (not that her reductive music has been much better than her movies, tbh). In short, people who are foolish enough to go see Joker 2 deserve every minute of boredom and frustration, and I hope it pisses them off that they wasted their money.
A review from two critics I like and generally agree with most of the time, Christy Lemire and Alonso Duralde:
