  That would be true if they actually did a musical instead of barely shoe horned in musical numbers as an excuse to put in scenes completely unrelated the plot so that they can have Phoenix in joker makeup, to use in the trailers.

  People were expecting a movie. Not a slow trash fire that decides it hated its audience and wants to make sure you know by the end of the film.

    Saw the movie today. I concur with this astute review.

    I would say there were maybe (maybe) 4 spots where it made sense to put music, and maybe 1 or 2 of those where the scene and music were done well (graded on a favorable curve). Then about 20-25 places they jammed bad music for what felt like no reason other than to slow down a movie that already wasn’t going anywhere.
