This movie is an embarrassment. Where's the real Joker sequel?


They can't be serious, this can't be it. A terrible musical and love story with loads of singing and dancing? What is this? La La Land? Why did Todd Phillips scrap his original Joker 2 script/storyline that didn't include all the musical song&dance crap? This movie is not what anybody was expecting nor wanted for a proper Joker sequel. Todd Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga and Warner Brothers all screwed it up big time! The moviegoers from all around the world who collectively shelled out a billion dollars to see the first excellent Joker movie in 2019, deserved to see an excellent Joker sequel in 2024. Instead they got this embarrassingly bad, lousy singing and dancing sequel. I'm absolutely glad this fake Joker 2 movie flopped hard at the box office. The vast majority of the audience and critics who have seen this garbage movie hated it. A totally wasted opportunity. Epic failure. Trash.

Where's the real Joker sequel?

You are not going to have what you want, not if you are a guy, they rarely do male oriented entertainment anymore.

I love watching movies, and the only thing I watched for the past 5 months was 'Deadpool & Wolverine', it is actually a subpar movie, but what else is there?

The Substance? It is a very well-regarded movie rn.

Another failed female oriented show, no thanks.

The question is, how do you define what a "real" Joker sequel is?
Because if you don't have any idea yourself, you can't expect a "real Joker sequel" when you don't know what one looks like.
Also, what you might call a "real Joker sequel", someone else might not.
Finally, it doesn't matter if the movie is, from your perspective, not what anybody was expecting nor wanted, because that is just your opinion. Unless you've gone around and asked people yourself, you cannot say for certain whether this was "not what anybody was expecting nor wanted".
Also, a movie that is "not what anybody was expecting nor wanted" does not determine its quality.
There are plenty of movies that did something different, not what was expected nor wanted, but were of a good quality.
This phrase is something you have put onto the movie. It doesn't relate to its quality. It shows a level of entitlement you think you have when you actually have none.
You're making yourself sound like your opinion is fact, or more important than someone's that disagrees, but in fact, your opinion is just your opinion. It has the same weight as someone whose opinion is different.

If you want a "real Joker sequel" as you said, define what one looks like, otherwise you're just speaking hot air.

From the look of box office, and from what popular movie reviewers on social media have been saying, he is not wrong.

It is actually a surprise anyone would actually defend this turd of a movie.
