Joker: Folie à Deuxor simply joker 2disappointed a large part of the audience, as well as professional critics. The film’s own actors looked uncomfortable during the promotional round, and this time one of them pointed strongly against the project.
The comedian Tim Dillonwho had a role in the film, was present on the podcast ”The Joe Rogan Experience”where he gave details about behind the scenes and his opinion on which, for him, it is ”the worst movie ever made”: ”I think what happened after the first Joker was that there was a lot of talk about it: ‘Oh, the incels loved it, the wrong people loved it, it sent the wrong message: male rage, nihilism!’ All those opinion pieces,” he began, explaining his theory.
“And then I think [dijeron]: ‘What would happen if we were the other way around?‘, and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga dancing tap to a point where it’s crazy”, he ironized.
”This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life”
Likewise, he shot: ”It has no plot. We were sitting there, me and these other guys dressed in these security suits because we’re working at Arkham Asylum, and I turned to one of them and we heard this shit and I was like, ‘What the hell is this?’ And they said, ‘This is going to be a bust, man‘. I said, ‘This is the worst thing I have ever seen in my life‘. We were talking about it at lunch, and we said, ‘What’s the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in prison?’ It’s not even to be seen with hate. That’s how terrible it is”.
Following the $1.078 billion box office success of the 2019 original film and two Oscars, this year’s sequel has been a flop, grossing $204 million worldwide so far. However, in Argentina, the film made impressive numbers when compared to other countries.
In just 11 days, The Joker sequel brought almost 400,000 spectators to theaters. Then, it went off and dropped 80%, accumulating a total of 451,506 entries. These values reflect that word of mouth truncated the film’s progress, where most of those who saw it probably avoided recommending it.
Not everything is bad for the film that had Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn, since one of the greatest references in cinema, Quentin Tarantinoexpressed his affection for the film: “I liked it very, very, very much,” he expressed. And he commented about the director: ”He’s telling them to screw everyone. He’s telling moviegoers to screw them. He’s telling them to screw Hollywood. He’s telling everyone who owns DC and Warner Brothers stock to be screwed. And Todd Phillips is the Joker. A Joker movie, yes, that’s what it is. “He’s the Joker.”
