To repeat, Folie à Deux is not “canon.” It’s a writer/director realizing a vision with something sincere and clever, which you can accept or reject. Superhero fans will get their fix soon enough. But this is not that.
Of all the things Phillips does better in Joker: Folie à Deux than he did in Joker, the best is by far his course correction in catering to radical misogynists. The director isn’t subtle in his nods to the controversy stirred by the original.

This film is a sincere masterpiece in a way that most of today's younger generation won't understand. It's produced in a classic manner. It's not designed for comic book fans. This is a musical-thriller, which is weird to say how such a concept could even exist. But now it does. Fundamentally this work of true art pushes those subtle buttons for the viewers who themselves experienced trauma, or such other emotional abuse. It's a story of how mental illness was, and still to this day is largely misunderstood. We blame the killers for their obscene acts of violence, but fail to recognize the underlying reasons and conditions for such hideous acts. Society creates their own demons, their own villains; and in turn use them as a juxtaposed contrast for the validation of their saintly conduct. Ultimately the Joker experiences his fate at the hands of a true psychopath, who only had respect not for Arthur, but the character of Joker he portrayed. Same with Harlequin, she fell in love with the Joker, not Arthur. And the lesson in all this is that, people fall in love with the characters we portray. Not the essence of our most immediate and sincere person, but the facades we create to make our boring selves more interesting. Love is blind, and crewel, cheap and disposable. And in the end, it dies. This film is a masterpiece. 10/10.

It’s a crazy movie but the world is not ready for such films.Everyone is waiting for the explosions, evil, things already seen. Here instead you go to dig in the weaknesses, in the psyche,in the ****’t it a musical like the others, they sing? yes but because only singing they can create a world all their where to be well together and understand each other in their madness. It’s bad that the society we live in now, facing a film like this, criticizes only because it has not seen cruelty and action. Superficial.

There are interesting notes on the intersection between love, mental illness, obsession, performance, and fandom. If only the movie were a little better.
The worst thing about Joker: Folie à Deux is its unfulfilled potential. It begins with the promise of a novel approach to the Joker and Harley Quinn, placing them in a world where the opposite of cruelty is musical romance. Unfortunately, the DC sequel gets bogged down by a lengthy courtroom saga, which not only keeps the dazzling Lady Gaga away from the spotlight, but centers the movie entirely around its own predecessor, without doing or saying anything new.
Even during the fantasy musical numbers, which give cover to stray from the overall aesthetics of the film, Phillips is just incapable of delivering the genre’s requisite razzle dazzle that would surely complement Joker’s persona.
If the principal actors weren’t so watchable, the movie would be an outright bore.
What a staggeringly stupid film. Joker: Folie à Deux is a sequel that did not need to exist. It’s an unspeakably self-indulgent, two-hour-plus beast of hodge-podge musical numbers wedged between drab prison and courtroom scenes.
Assim como no primeiro filme, o segundo retrata perfeitamente o fracasso do nosso sistema, e os efeitos que esse fracasso traz. É um misto de emoções com uma linguagem perfeitamente explícita para quem realmente faz uma imersão no longa.

This serves as an interesting sequel to the dramatic Todd Phillips 2019 film. Casting, cinematography and soundtrack serve the story well. Despite the rather long runtime, the editing and pacing a very good. And yet... I can't help as a fan of the comic book character
...that the source material has been severely under utilized here. It just sticks out from beginning to end. Without the Batman to play off against him its kind of a heightened drama wearing a comic book mask.

Wow, this movie was as horrible as the ratings suggested! The singing was horrible. The entire premise of the movie was that they turned super villain "The Joker" into a sissified version of his former self. The scene where he told Harley that he can't live without her was another Hollywood fanatical feminist trope I've seen again and again. What a waste of time!
