Honestly didn't hate it.
Wasn't what I was expecting, and I suspect that's where most of the disappointment came from as they wanted two hours of the Joker brutally murdering people...
Far from the worst film I've seen in the last few years.
Seconded.
It was very... experimental, I'd say. I applaud them for the balls to try. I feel like it wasn't too far from achieving what it was going for.
Yesterday I was watching a musical episode of ST: Strange New Worlds after a few rums, and I really enjoyed it. However variety is expected from a show like Star Trek, especially because SNW sort of emulates the episodic feeling of the earlier shows.
My point being that while this particular episode was going for a jaunty positive sing-along, the Joker was probably going for something similarish but just in a dramatic and tragic sort of sense.
And the ST episode is ranked quite poorly as well, and I can see how I wouldn't always enjoy it, but yesterday I really did.
So being "forced" to watch a musical is pretty much people's problem, I think. Or seeing one without the expectation of seeing one.
god i loved that episode. i had no idea it was coming and i just had a dumb smile on my face all the way through.
I was literally singing along.
But as I said, I had had a few rums.
Loved it. But I don't think I'd have the same energy right now, so watching the episode in this state wouldn't be as good.
