This is the best film in history. This film was a waste of time. Early reviews for The Joker two are out
and the audience is scary. Consider where this world
premiere took place for the Joker two. It's really hard to trust what's starting
to appear on the internet right now. What's a little more suspect
is that the Joker two has a review embargo, and some of the people
that are talking about the film are just completely ignoring it. So what's going on here? What are people
saying about the Joker two? Well, in this video,
we'll break that down. But in order for you guys to understand
it, we got to talk about where the Joker two
premiered in the first place. So the reason why we're starting
to get reviews for the Joker two is because it just premiered
at the 81st Venice Film Festival. The Venice Film Festival
is one of the most prestigious and oldest film festivals in the world. If you premiere a film at the Venice
Film Festival, it almost immediately puts you in the running
to receive an Oscar. And that makes a lot of sense, because why
Queen Phoenix actually got an Oscar back in 2020
for his portrayal of the Joker? Now critics also took to Twitter
and Letterbox to voice their love and frustrations with the film. Some people also said that this film
got a standing ovation at Venice Film Festival. But I'm be honest with you, bro. I'm not listening to any of that. I don't believe it. First of all, I don't believe anything
when someone says something. Got a standing ovation. I understand, like, oh, everybody claps. 17 minutes. Standing ovation is insane. Cause like, there's people over there
saying that this movie does something
that's never been done in cinema before. And in this video, we're going to break
all of that stuff down. Let's get into it. Welcome
to another episode of Killer Encounter. And if you've been here before, so the Joker two is going
to come out on October 4th, and we're pretty much a whole entire month ahead
right now when it comes to reviews. Someone tweeted and said, Joker two seems to be just as divisive
as I thought it would be. Oh god, a complete waste of time. Visually outstanding,
but a useless sequel. We did not need almost to ruin
the wonderful memory of the transcendental experience
that was the first film. I'm so disappointed. Someone else said, I just got out
of the film screening in Venice, and I will say this is an insane concept
to make a musical, but what's even more
insane is just that it works. Sure, the directing is a little clunky,
but it works so well as a sequel. Lady Gaga in particular is terrific. Can't wait for the rest of the world
to see this. I didn't believe a word person
that the first person would say it. Calling it a complete waste of time
because it's a sequel. Do you think all sequels
or a complete waste of time? So does she think this movie adds
absolutely nothing to the first one? And then somebody else said, here's why a sequel to a successful
movie should never be made. This film ruined the original Joker
for me. The imagine musical sequences
were utterly devoid of logic or any narrative purpose. While the performance of Joaquin Phoenix
were undeniably intense and masterful. It only served to highlight Lady Gaga's
lack of experience, especially when placed alongside
such a strong actor. He said something
I was afraid of about Lady Gaga. I'm always afraid of
when you have two actors and one actor is like Joaquin Phoenix
and then the other actor is a good actor. It's going to make the other guy look like
he don't know what he's doing. And that's what I was afraid of,
because I know Lady Gaga knows how to act. She's a multi-talented artist. I was super afraid of that. Someone said just finished viewing
a Gaga is just perfection. Definitely early frontrunner
contender for the Oscar. So one person saying Lady Gaga
doesn't know what she's doing. The other person saying Lady Gaga
filling in an Oscar. I don't like how split this narrative is. And this is just on Letterboxd. And then critics actually came out
and spoke about the film also, Joe Blow movies and TV said, what a performance,
what a story, what a beauty, what a movie. Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix killed it. Todd Phillips once again
proved that he is the best of the best. Joker fully either deserves everything. What more can I say? Joker two is easily movie of the year. He could have had something
if he didn't put easily. Yeah, I mean, we haven't seen it yet,
so we don't know. But I'm excited for the movie. I'm going to watch some of that movie. Someone said Joker fully out there. Feels like it's bad on purpose. A fascinatingly lifeless troll of a movie designed to anger fans
and bore everyone else. So I just came out and gave the Joker
a five out of ten and said, despite the best efforts of Joaquin
Phoenix, Lady Gaga, and an opening hours set in Arkham
Asylum, Joker fully their wasted potential as a movie musical,
a courtroom drama, and a sequel that has anything meaningful
to say or add to the first Joker. I don't want to be that guy, but
the last review who gave it a low score basically said the same thing that he was upset
not with Lady Gaga, but about Lady Gaga. Everyone's complaining
about the whole musical concept. Me personally,
I think if they do take the creative route that I think they're going to take,
it could work heavy. I don't know if you remember Team
Fortress two, but you ever seen them
meet the pyro video? I think so. That's years ago. I think I vaguely remember that. Why do I remember like flowers? Yeah. It's coming to me. Am I correct? Yes, 100%. Basically, what it was is in his mind. All he sees is sunshine,
rainbows, flowers, and he's helping people aspire fire. But yes, yes, that's what I'm expecting. Like you need some Joker music
going my. Okay. That's exactly what I'm expecting. Yeah, I'm thinking as of right now,
it looks like people are kind of mixed on the fact
that it's also a courtroom drama. And I know courtroom dramas, if it's not done properly,
could start to feel a little bit iffy. So what I'm hoping is not happening
is that the film is trying to be too much at one time because,
like Oppenheimer is technically also a courtroom drama,
but that's its main heavy focus. I feel like the movie would have
to emphasize the courtroom drama, and maybe that's
why people are so upset with Lady Gaga. So I just got to watch the movie
for myself. We've been covering all things DC,
including the new Green Lantern casting. Click over here
and we'll see you in the next thing. Who's.
