And I swear I tried to go in and watch it objectively but I don't think I really did. I will say my main objections to the film are based on moral or "woke" reasons (though the films treatment of Black Women is noticeable).
My main objections:
1. I am a Joker comic book fan from the 80s and given the Joker a backstory I think is a bad idea. And if you ae going to give him a backstory, you better make it good. I kept watching it thinking, how could this guy grow into becoming Batman's greatest rival?? (more minor gripe, wouldn't he be 40 years older than Batman?)
2. This movie was just super derivative of the King of Comedy and Taxi Driver. To borrow so heavily from two movies from One director is bullshit.
