Saw the movie over the weekend. My wife and I loved it. Don't expect a superhero movie.

Excellent movie all around including the cinematography. We already want to see it again.

I just got back. I really, really liked this movie. Phoenix was fantastic in it. I also thought the Batman mythos stuff was a good fit (although they might have been better off simply suggesting one particular scene.)

Me and the wife loved it as well. Needs a second viewing for sure. Who knows what was real and what wasn't? That's the beauty of it, It's cannon proof this way. I saw a suggestion that this should be a 3 movie series with each one being a different Joker origin story told as a flashback but all starring Phoenix. That would be brilliant!

Lady Gaga used to really annoy me (back in the "meat dress" days) but it's impossible to ignore what a massively talented and all-around cool human being she is. I'm definitely interested in seeing this, mostly to watch her.

And that last shot in the trailer is amazing.

Yeah I think it looks fantastic. I loved the first one, and I'm a big Gaga fan. I used to also get a little rolly-eyes at her "weird pop star" antics but in hindsight it was all just brilliant marketing. No different than what Elton John and David Bowie were doing back in the day.

Always thought she was cool because she wrote her one music. Talented. She was put down to and made fun of so I always root for the underdog or the bullied.

I wouldn’t want my performance to be judged against Margot Robbie in her prime. Gaga is really taking risks as an actress.

It looks like Oscar-bait to me.
It's almost as if people are the problem.
