Despite the initial success of its first installment at the box office and with critics, there is a possibility that Joker 2 may not meet expectations with its highly anticipated Rotten Tomatoes score.
Despite general audiences having to wait a month to see director Todd Phillips’ highly anticipated sequel Joker: Folie à Deux, the first reactions are already coming in from the movie’s debut at the Venice Film Festival for the press.
Despite receiving praise from some viewers who have hailed it as an “entirely unique anti-hero film,”there are also negative comments emerging about the film. One critic described it as “startlingly dull”and “a pointless procedural that seems to disdain its audience.”
Due to this inconsistency, certain fans express concern that Joker 2 may receive a general Rotten Tomatoes rating in the low 60s, distinguishing it from its previous installment.
Despite receiving a mediocre average of 69% from critics, the film was overwhelmingly loved by audiences, with an impressive 89% audience score.
The 2019 edition received more positive reviews, with one critic stating, “Rather than being solely focused on the Joker, it presents a strikingly realistic depiction of anyone who could potentially become like him. It’s both unsettling and superbly done!”
Another person remarked, “In my opinion, if the purpose of cinema is to evoke emotions, make us contemplate our choices in life, and confront the eccentricities of the world, then I believe Joker succeeded brilliantly.”
In addition to receiving widespread acclaim from critics, the initial Joker film was a major success at the box office and became one of the top-grossing R-rated movies ever.
Although it may seem harsh to anticipate that Joker 2 will receive a lower rating than its predecessor, there are several factors working against it. Not only is it set to be a musical, but the inclusion of Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn may also alienate its core audience.
At the time of writing, the official score for Joker: Folie à Deux has not yet been posted. However, we will continue to provide updates as soon as it becomes available.
