Had reserved expectations, still disappointed...
5 years ago, I wrote a review here about a movie so good, I had to go in Theaters to watch it twice. Joker is still an amazing movie. My expectations for the sequel were reserved, but this really isn't it.
Movie is downright boring, Instead of character development we see a character decline, and the musical parts are mostly cringe. I gave Lady Gaga benefit of doubt (her involvment in "A Star is Born" made for a solid movie), but this really isn't working, at least for me.
I'm trying to be as objective as possible, not everything was bad: Actor performances were really good, the cinematography is great and even the musical (as much as I don't like them) had some logic and clever execution to it. The movie actually even surprised me a bit once...
Long story short; this movie is really unnecessary.
Will gladly watch Joker (2019) again at some point, but watching this one once was more then enough.
