Y’all are so full of your own poo. From what I’m reading, you’re saying people can’t form their own opinion or at least not in the case of when reviewing this movie. Heath Ledger gave us the perfect Joker, we will always be comparing others to his. However this movie was great in it’s own right and Joaquin Phoenix did a fantastic job providing a new Joker, one which isn’t technically connected to the DC universe at that. I do think he purposely did not want to be seen as ripping off Heath’s portrayal, as should be expected and encouraged.

With that said I was never a big fan, or much a fan at all, of Joaquin Phoenix [until] this movie. I very much enjoy an artist’s work and that is what Joaquin Phoenix is, an artist.

Additional Disclaimer Crap: I watched this movie when it came out, without hearing media or other people’s opinions first. So your theory that I’m a good little lemming, following others, some fanboy or whatnot is thrown out the window here. I’m no exception to the rule I am sure. I am however someone who has their own opinion. I am sure my response will warrant tons of backlash and name calling or labeling. I don’t expect to garnish anything except further hate rather than productive conversation but I feel what I said had to be, and so here it is.

PS attack of the clones was a fairly good movie as well, but when I think of whether it was good or not I’m not comparing it to other star wars movies- same as I would not compare any movie. I would also not compare Joker to others such as Dark Night or otherwise Taxi Driver, The Shining, etc. I judge a movie simply based off whether I enjoyed sitting through it at the time. Why make this process into something so complex and loathsome? Unnecessary and only ensures dissonance.
