Everyone watched Taxi Driver and I already saw your post word to word 5 years ago, this parroting was annoying and obnoxious even back then. Taxi Driver is one of the most famous films of one of the famous directors and also inspired Reagan assassination attempt, it's not some obscure indie nobody watched. King of Comedy is less popular, but it gained more recongnition over the years. Let's play this game with The Batman:

Hopefully people go and watch the David Fincher films The Batman ripped off. Zodiac is underrated.

Bullshit.

That is exactly what this "If you like Gaga and are a man you are gay" nonsense is.

Whoa...

 

Like, ooh, that's not.

Mind you, the last DC movie they tested had them convinced they had the greatest superhero film of all time on their hands.

2/5

 

Gaga is the lone bright spot. But even by the end her character goes nowhere. 
 

Joaquin is committed to the role, but I can’t say his performance was more than one note (no pun intended, but he can’t sing).

Well Grace Randolph liked one of my tweets, so she can stay. Critical Drinker can be shot to the sky though.

Which is stupid, since the whole point of a test screening it to see how a film plays to an audience, so you can make adjustments.

SHades of Depp in 'Sweeney Todd" Sweeney is a very challenging role to sing..it is closer to opera then your standard musical..and Depp singing voice was no where near adequate for the role.

wow, this was just as good as Joker maybe better. Ignore the haters judge for yourself.

If this script is as bad as I've heard I don't think test screenings would've saved this.

Point is they did test screen it using a final version. Thatjust makes no sense; if you don;t intend to make changes why the hell bother?Puzzling.

And you lose a lot of creditbilty points by using the term "Haters",. Even most fanboys avoid that term since it has become so toxic.

We are back to " How dare you not like something I like" territory.

I'm guessing if they knew audiences would hate it they didn't want to overspend on marketing? As it was, whatever surprise factor they had got blown after Cannes anyway.

Good review. 

I would rather eat a glass sandwich

Lots of people wanted a Joker sequel that was actually good. Is there any way WB could have kicked off Phillips and somehow rewritten the script drastically before most filming occured?

well haters are mostly from the last film , the critics calling it dangerous are a joke , the backlash for this one is different , no agenda , just bad taste

it is a good movie though, a miracle being a sequel in all

[Firepower]

Reaction to this movie is so toxic and poisonous to the point people already blame Lady Gaga for this movie on her instagram and I wouldn't be surprised if some particularly crazy individuals already send death threats to filmmakers and cast members. It's like the movie kicked the hornet's nest.

 I think firing Philips would have been a PR disaster  for them,,imagine the firestorm..but maybe they could have told Philips "We Want you to do a sequel, but we are not going in that direction" and told him to come up with something different.

Well, from the reactions there seem to be a hell of a lot of haters out there.

You are entilted to like what you like, but don't get on a high horse and condemn people who disagree. That is a very bad look, and one of things that drives me crazy about what fandom has become.
