The much-anticipated Joker movie has gotten a bad review from Anchorage Daily News: "The Joker doubles down on the movie quotes, invoking Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times and the entire 70's canon of grimy urban classics," and it "begins to feel less like an original film.......and more like a funhouse reflection of images and themes we've seen before."
It concludes the Joker "is.....so monotonously grandiose and full of its own pretensions that it winds up feeling puny and predictable. Like the anti-hero at its center, it's a movie trying so hard to be capital b Big that it can't help looking small."
