"Joker. Madness for two" disappoints: critics mercilessly evaluate the new film with Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga

The world premiere of the long-awaited movie "Joker. Madness for two" took place at the Venice International Film Festival, and film critics have already had time to express their opinions about the new film. The main roles in the film were played by Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, which created great expectations among the audience.

First impressions of critics

Many critics were hoping for a vibrant dynamic and chemistry between the characters. However, according to experts, the topic of delusional disorder, which should have become central, has not been adequately explored. Instead, the film received average ratings, not exceeding 60 points in most reviews.

"Unfortunately, DC's sequel features a drawn-out legal saga that not only deprives the dazzling Lady Gaga of screen time, but also centers the film entirely around its predecessor without doing anything new."

The plot did not live up to expectations

The plot of the sequel revolves around Arthur Fleck, who spends monotonous days in a mental hospital until he meets Harleen Quinzel. The lives of both are changing, but this storyline, according to critics, does not provide enough depth and novelty that everyone expected after the first "Joker".

Comparison with predecessor

The first movie "Joker", which was released in 2019, was an incredible success, collecting more than a billion dollars at the box office. However, unlike its predecessor, the sequel seems too careful, which prevents it from achieving the same level of popularity and recognition.

Conclusions and forecasts

It is difficult to say whether "Joker. Madness for two" will meet the expectations of the audience at the box office. But one thing can be said for sure: the film has already caused a storm of emotions and discussions, which will undoubtedly attract a lot of attention to it.
