Joker didn’t suck, it just wasn’t the movie people wanted.

  I like musicals and still think it was pretty bad. It’s a jukebox musical which are usually bad anyway.
  
  Almost none of the songs move the story forward. Most of them are just we are in love numbers. You get one maybe two of those a musical.
  
  Joaquin Phoenix is a good actor and a terrible singer. Lady Gaga is a good singer and terrible actor. So every scene with them both has one of them doing a bad job.

    I decided to skip Joker 2 once I heard it was a musical (and then I heard the review were bad).
    
    You got me curious about Phoenix’s singing so I looked up some clips on YouTube.
    
    You were right, it’s not good.

    I liked that the songs marked the “imagined” sequences. There was no singing in the things that really happened.

  I agree it didn’t suck, but in addition to not bring the movie people wanted, it also wasn’t good. I’d be shocked if it won any razzies given the stiff competition.

  That was kind of the point of that movie.
  
  But I thought they did really good in it.

Joker 2 might grab the headlines and could win because of its higher profile, but there are some strong contenders and, with a level playing field, Madame Web should sweep up. With Kraven the Hunter also in the running for some awards, Sony might want to take a while pondering their misguided attempt at a Spider-Man-less Spider-Man Universe.

  Joker 2 winning anything would be a snub to how terrible Borderlands and Madame Web were. Punish the corporate slop, not the arty risk that didn’t pan out.

  i’m convinced that whole thing is a tax fraud. i don’t know how specifically, but it’s a scam/scheme

    There is something about losing the movie rights to the characters if they don’t use them within a certain time frame IIRC.

Joaquin Phoenix for Worst Actor>. /doubt

Haven’t seen the movie but he’s always been more than adequate with his performances. My guess is it’s either bad directing, editing, or both that he’s taking the rap for.

  the movie is intentionally bad. if he’s bad in it, it’s just because he did the job he was asked, aka, he did a good job being an actor

I didn’t think Joker 2 was a bad movie. It was well acted and beautifully filmed. It was just a poor sequel to the original and told a story that nobody cared about. I’d almost call it “artsy”.

  It has very slow segments but I’d agree it was well done mostly, until the end. That ending is the stupidest shit ever. Very disappointing.

  “most expensive art film I’ve paid to see” is what I said to my friends as we left the theater

Borderlands should sweep. Legit one of the worst movies I’ve seen in my life.

  Why I’d give it to Madame Web is Borderlands was heavily edited late on to remove any violence, leaving it a real mess and not what was intended. With Madame Web what you get on the screen is closer to what was intended (although the actors claim what they shot wasn’t the script they signed up for).

Of that list, I’ve only watched Madame Web. It was awful but I did get through it.

I started watching Borderlands and only got through 20 minutes before I shut it off.

I had no interest in any of the rest so I can’t speak to their quality.
