Joker Rising

Going well beyond the standards of fan films Joker rising ascends to dizzying Heights. The film is low budget however highly effective at delivering character beats and pathos at every turn. The only issue is sound quality however this is not enough of an issue to derail what is easily one of the best Joker adaptations in film history.

Several of the actors are noteworthy however no one can touch the prowess of Dylan Hobbs as the joker. Playing as joker's former self initially who is seemingly emotionally disconnected from the world around him Hobbs is able to effectively play a stone cold psychopath by the end of the film after delivering one of the best and most shocking emotional scenes put to film.

Highly recommended.

I have watched this film many times and each time I appreciate something new about it, realizing just how much thought and effort went into it. I absolutely love the creativity in changing up some of the traditional Batman trappings, beginning with the Joker's past itself, making for a more believable and relative experience. The soundtrack is engaging and well put together with the various sequences. The movie as a whole and especially the ending is very, very powerful. Thank you to all responsible for this masterpiece. I look forward with great anticipation the sequels said to be in production. You can count on my support and hope you get all that you need to make it all happen! Thank you for sharing your life and dreams with all of us so openly.

When I came upon this film on Youtube, I played it with the intent of using it as background noise while I worked on some home projects. It didn't take long before I set my projects aside to give the film my full attention.

What you have in Joker Rising is a production created with sheer talent and imagination. On a shoe string budget of $3000, this film lacked the over the top special effects and over paid actors of the Hollywood Batman films. However, what it did have was solid performances from actors who deserve far more recognition than they will probably ever get, a story of characters who you will actually care about, and an overall production value that far exceeds it's budget.

Whether you're a Batman fan or not doesn't really matter. I would suggest you watch this film.

Overall this is a very good movie and in many ways is better than some Hollywood Batman films. It has a much more realistic, tight story. The main actors do a good job despite some rough acting from some of the minor characters (which is to be expected on a very low budget movie shot over such a short period of time). A couple amazing scenes really make this movie worth watching. The sound quality is not great at times, but the soundtrack is very good. My wife and I return to watch this movie often.

Shockingly bad I watch fan films to support fan films but this was tedious wooden and a country mile from the mark joker at the end was the only saving grace watch predator crusades much better fan film
