Batman fans will love it 10/10 Agreed, thought it was fantastic. Phenomenal performance by Phoenix. A masterpiece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vansen Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thought Joker was outstanding. A really dark film dealing, quite thoughtfully at times, with abuse, neglect and mental illness. As an origin story, something not really seen with Joker previously, it was powerful and I thought masterfully showed how this troubled individual transformed into one of comic books most famous villains. 10/10 - I loved it.

Francis Albert Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 On 06/10/2019 at 07:45, Carl Fredrickson said: Cheers. Didnt know any of that. I took from the film that the way she was treated when she was young led her to have a troubled adult like ie due to the strict control the studio had over her and being forced to take pills of various kinds. The film (imo) portrayed her as very much a people person who loved attention and pleasing people (the two guys she befriended in the film werent based on real people but was meant to reflect her relationships with many people who came to her shows - as per 5live interview). The downside to her character was definitely her addictions and some people would take advantage of her due to her weaknesses. It is hard to believe that someone so talented with so many years performing behind them could be in financial trouble but this could have been due to people treating her like a cash cow and her addictions. The film for all its inaccuracies has brought at least part of her life to the attention of many. Before the film I only knew her as Dorothy in TWOZ and being the mother of Liza Minnelli. Saw it today. Great film and absolutely outstanding perrfirmance by Rene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am liking this de-ageing ability being used now however. Has the potential to keep big stars in films forever if they are happy being milked once they are dead!

Lovecraft Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Child's Play 2019 5/10 Would have been 4/10 if Aubrey Plaza wasn't in it. The only reason I watched it TBH. Movie about a doll that comes to life and...... You already know, you have seen the original. Tired, tired, lazy, regurgitated crap. The movie industry is ****ed. Who ever wanted to see a remake of this? Only when checking the IMDB page to see who the fat guy was that looked like Jack Black, did I find out Mark Hamill was the voice of Chucky in it. Mark ****ing Hamill. I really wish people would stop going to the cinema and paying to see this kind of shite. Sad thing is: It cost cost $10M to make and made over $50M, so expect more shite like this when investors can get a return like that.
