Reactions to Joker at Toronto International Film Festival

Who said anything about changing this film? I just found it hilarious that people could be so naive. Idgaf beyond that
The movie looked boring in the trailers but that leaked clip was very good. A little bummed if that's the most shocking scene in the movie, but Phoenix's performance was good enough I'll catch this in the theaters.
Jered Leto runs a cult, so I'd imagine he'd be pretty pissed to be upstaged this quickly.

Lmao, I don't know if this is a laughing matter or not. But in that huge crowd of women, the dude with the Marvel shirt really sticks out.
if you're going to join a cult based around a band, surely you can do better than the astonishing mediocrity of 30 Seconds to Mars
I don't want to dismiss negative reviews but a lot of these negative reviews are not coming across like they were made in good faith. They come off like people who had their mind made up and are serving an agenda. This is bad film criticism.
But the fact the film doing that and is so polarizing makes me want to se it even more. This wait is unbearable.

I was thinking Jim Jones. Seeing stuff like that is real world scary.
How does Todd Phillips get classified as a "Scorsese disciple"? Because he's inspired by his films?
I guess that make Zack Snyder an Alan Moore and Frank Miller disciple despite walking away with shallow and skewed interpretations of what their works were trying to say.
Jesus, why is this thing still a month away? All this hype is out of control! I need to see this movie.

Just about 10% of the negative reviews call the movie quality and acting bad. The remainder 90% negative reviews rate it bad because it's too disturbing , says it will inspire bad folks or that it's not the joker version they like while calling the movie itself well made and acted
that shows this is a masterpiece

Yeah it's pretty clear that the cinematography, acting, and score are on-point. Anyone who says that the movie has no redeeming qualities clearly has an agenda.
There was that one review that read like Phoenix had run over her dog at some point in life.
This has actually made me scrutinize rotten tomatoes a bit more as the split in reviews is really interesting.
How is a "3/5" tallied into the "rotten" review category?

from Wiki.
Unless that's made up, and all of Philips effusive praise for Scorsese and his works is too... this is definitely nothing comparable to Zack Snyder and whatever he got from Alan Moore and Frank Miller.
Lmao
I'm honestly hype to see this movie and will go opening weekend but I think I just got a bingo
The one who uploads the review decides if its rotten or not.
I mean, the review I'm talking about said people should start a GoFundMe for Joaquin so he doesn't have to try so hard in the review. It's actually funny as hell what a bad review it is.
Yikes, that's what you put together by critics drawing that comparison? Lol
I'm not sure what that wiki quote is supposed to add.
They are fans of Scorsese just as Snyder was a fan of Alan Moore. Doesn't mean they can execute with the same nuance or that they have more than a surface level understanding of the works they are inspired by. And it certainly doesn't make someone a like-minded "disciple".
As a matter of fact, if anything, them trying yo get Scorsese attached as a producer and him eventually declining has me thinking he wasn't passionate about their project despite it being a love letter to his films. It was a move to get clout and credibility and not look like they are ripping off his work and regardless of how genuine they actually were, at the end of the day Scorsese didn't give his endorsement by producing it. Maybe he still supports the project, I have no clue, but they tried to look like official disciples and were turned down.

hahaha holy shit. who the fuck would write a review like this? it's basically a few paragraphs of them just saying the movie is bad without any content. how do these people call themselves critics?
if this were true, then the average score wouldn't be around 7 with that low percentage
Any word if this Joker falls into chemicals or does he just paint his face and go wild? Still hyped either way, just curious.
I trust Zazie over every one of you, sorry not sorry.
Can't wait to see it.
The person submitting the score specifies if it's counted as rotten or fresh.
Yup, that makes perfect sense and I haven't even seen it yet. People should have sympathy for his circumstances, it's entirely possible without condoning the actions those circumstances lead to in the film. He wasn't born as the Joker, there's a whole lot of history of struggles in him.

Those pics and some of the twitter accounts replying to them are creepy as hell
I had no idea this was a thing, but damn the world just doesn't stop being disappointing
The cringe this induces physically hurts me.What kind of gamer is this Joker?
It's been happening for months now already and most people haven't even seen it.
I would really intrigued if this Joker does indeed tie into the next Batman movie asThomas Wayne is in the Joker movie.
