Joker (2019)
8.6 Wonderfully Painful Watching Experience
*level of enjoyment*
#8
really enjoyed - for those that have faced mental health issues head on in their lives, this film will hit home, it'll hurt, it'll inspire, it'll make you question yourself and others
*likelihood to recommend*
#7
recommend - you might hate it, you might love it, either way this origin story will get you thinking about and seeing reality in a fresh light
*quality of acting*
#9
excellent - Phoenix is brilliant, his ability to pull you in and love his twisted, struggling character as he finds himself and grows into one of the most iconic DC Universe villains
*quality of writing*
#9
excellent - character development, twisting (but followable) storylines, changes in momentum, all alongside really great execution
*quality of intangibles*
#10
perfection - some will feel it, others won't, to me this movie just felt real and engaging, something I can't quite put my finger on put this movie over the top... guess that's why they call it intangibles
The Dark Knight (2008)
9.4 Top Contender for 'Best Superhero Movie'
*level of enjoyment*
#10
top tier - from start to finish The Dark Knight has you on the edge of your seat, enjoying every minute
*likelihood to recommend*
#10
highest recommendation - if you haven't seen it, watch it, it is a masterpiece, the downside? likely to put all future Batman features to shame
*quality of acting*
#9
excellent - Bale is the gold standard Batman, gruff, tough, aloof, positively fueled by the tragedies of his dark past. Ledger is the nightmare villain, twisted, evil, unapologetic, irrational, completely void of a moral compass
*quality of writing*
#10
perfection - one of those movies you wish you could have a memory edit in order to watch again and again
*quality of intangibles*
#8
excellent - visual is on point, dark gloomy Gotham, perfect setting for a hero to operate and succeed from the shadows
very good - music and sound puts viewers in the mood and anticipating the next intense scene
