I saw Joker today, I laughed a lot more than I thought I would at certain parts. With all the people in clown face mimicking his rebellious attitude I got the impression of V for Vendetta.
I thought a better ending to tie into Batman would of been, when he was getting up on the hood of the police car and the crowd of people in clown face began to cheer, the next scene was the words "20 Years Later".
Then the next scene is the bank robbery opening of Dark Knight (End of Movie).
The story beginnings could of tied in more to Dark Knight. Let's say he had to apply for a job as a clown rather than being already employed, and he had a beard. They told him, to lose the beard. When he shaved, he had the scars on the side of his mouth that Heath Ledger had, and that's why he used the big red makeup to cover the scars. They did say his mother's boyfriend abused him as a child. I'm always thinking of ways to improve scripts or dialogue when I watch a movie.

people have voted with their money. Half a billion $’s says a lot of people think it’s a good movie and told others it was a good movie and then they went. [Reply]

a opinion on a movie is subjective. That’s okay, it’s an opinion, everyone has one. But, my point is that a lot of people think it’s a good movie. 1/2 Billion at the box office = lots of people like the movie. [Reply]

I agree that it is wildly popular just disagreeing on using money over audience reviews. [Reply]

Trans - Making a lot at the box office is a better indication of the quality of Joker. Star Wars is a long-running franchise that makes money just for existing even though many of the individual films have sucked ass. And Disney owns it now and marketed the shit out of it, raising its box office. Joker is a hit because it's one of the best films of the 2010s. [Reply]

Yeah, DC isn't exactly know for good marketing. In reality its the opposite, they suck at it.
This is a world wide mega hit because of word of mouth, not marketing. [Reply]
Since popularity doesn't really mean it's a great film as far as the theatrical aspects. My favorite last big blockbuster was two years ago, The Shape of Water. It had mystery, intrigue, suspense, espionage, mayhem, sci-fi at it's best. Great acting from the mute played by Sally Hawkins and her opposite, the evil Michael Shannon. I always use IMDB as a base for whether to see a movie at the theater, wait to rent, watch on HBO, or don't bother. I found 7.0 or higher score is required to at least go to the theater.
The Shape of Water had 324,000 votes and a rating of 7.3 out of 10. Joker has 374,000 votes and a rating of 8.9. I very seldom see ratings in the 8's, to give you an idea, Forest Gump was 8.8 and The Godfather 9.2.
