I was excited reading the tweet but reading the review he gave it a C+.
Oh wow.
That's some praise it's getting. Just a small amount of reviews but all I've read are all highly praising the film.

He usually aligns with my tastes.
Brilliant news.
Wait...wat?
In today's climate that's a valid concern (in the USA at least).
Hell yes! Knew this would be good, but the scores so far? Dayum, sign me up for October 4th!
Also, saying it now: Joaquin Joker > Heath Joker

He's not wrong. It's going to incite a crowd that identifies with a villain, without them being able to understand why he's a villain.
I'm honestly shocked Todd Phillips actually delivered a film like this. Didn't know he had it in him.
Kind of makes me think of Scrooged
That isn't good enough! They have got to be so scared to miss it! So terrified!
After a toooon of skepticism from myself personally, I'm glad to hear it's apparently good -- but people are dumb and gonna take it as some Bane shit, which will overshadow how good it is. Was waiting on reviews to decide and unless early consensus changes, I'll see it.
People find inspiration in whatever they want to but the ubiquity of the Joker brings out the worst of those types I find.
That said, that's not so much on the movie (albeit it sounds like they show he's fucked up and a bad person, hopefully with real consequences too), versus the people being motherfuckers following a fictional supervillian and using it to mass murder. I digress.
Again, glad to hear it's good. The more good movies, comic book or not, the better. They don't preclude the existence of other types of movies either yall.

Ehrlich's review is basically what I was worried about. Not so much any real-world consquences, just not knowing how to handle itself.
Dizzying highs and terrifying lows. Might as well be the DC motto at this point
Not like it would be the first time, nor the last
Movies and tv have been doing that for decades. Nut jobs these days are just as easily radicalized by video games streamers and YouTube personalities. It comes across as such a faux concern.
Welcome to many films made over the past 60 or so years.

Hey, if you have reviews that are not in the OP, feel free to post them and tag me so I can add them. Thanks.
My biggest concerns with this movie have never been whether it was good or not, but how it deals with angry white men and nihilistic rage, what kind of message it has and how some corners of extremism will latch on to it, and if we'll have more school shootings, more mass shooting, more chaos, more of the fabric of society destroyed (obviously this is a rather dire take on this movies release, and i'm not trying to blame the film for anything, but I just hope it has a message that challenges these concepts).

There were cool things about it but the main character's motivations seemed weird and undercooked. Guess I'm too used to trailers spelling out the whole movie because the trailer almost implied the dude became a psycho because he got rejected once and got bullied in the past. Happy to see this seems to be a mature and thought-provoking take on the character, not what I expected from the current DC.
It keeps going to 77 on metacritic but there's only 6 reviews so far.
Edit: Now 75 with 9 reviews

I really hope this holds true when I got to see it. Too bad there will be those who romanticize it regardless.
