When I first saw the trailer for Joker, my main reaction was one of slight amusement. I thought "yeah I might go see it." and then admittedly forgot about it for a bit. What peaked my interest later was the surrounding "controversy" of how apparently unsavory folk might look up to Joker as a hero. There were even attempts at saying that a shooting might happen at a showing due to the movies content (absolutely ridiculous). So obviously I was thinking "what's so bad about this movie." Seeing memes of Joker on the stairs all over my Twitter feed also added to my wanting to see it as soon as possible.
This is a spoiler free review.
