The US media thought Joker was dangerous and would inspire mass shootings (lol), which explains the low RT score.

 

Outside of the US where US politics isn't a factor obviously, Joker received acclaim from critics.

Lmao fr 😂. The media gets triggered over nothing

Wasn't just the media lol. A segment of people online sank into satanic panic hysteria around the film.

That average score isn’t really impressive, but most people don’t pay attention to that. 

[HummingLemon]

Verified audience scores should come out in a bit

Maybe middle to high seventy's now?

that’s what I’m thinking. Maybe around 77% 

 

the negative reviews seem to be coming from the critics facing superhero fatigue, at least that’s what I get from the reviews. 
 

Generic plot, that’s held together by a focus on Latino culture/family and a strong performance from Xolo. Actions seems like it’ll be good. Hoping for strong WOM

Do you guys think this will beat Wonder Woman's 3.99x to have the best legs for an MCU/DCEU film? (Far From Home and Aquaman don't count because Far From Home was a Tuesday release and Aquaman was a Christmas release)

[ChipDerby]

No doubt in my mind this opens over $30 mil and finishes at $150 mil domestic.

Got tickets for IMAX. Pretty empty but hoping the film is decent

If it was released during the height of the summer season or Christmas, I could see it happening but not now with its release spot and schools slowly coming into session again. Not to mention losing PLFs in a week

We just got back and this was a nice little matinee to be honest.  I loved all of the parts with Jaime and his family.  The action sequences were ok,  decent.  There's definitely some "been there, done that"  to this movie that makes it feel a bit generic but I think everything with the family makes this movie rise above some of the other recent CBM's I've seen recently.  We liked it.  Obviously not a big crowd at the theater probably about 15 people total.

We Really Enjoyed this film! Solid start for DCU.

Damn, this is down to 78% already. -10% in the last 50 reviews.

Don’t tell me this is going to be yet another DC film that gets its certified fresh revoked! Lol UK reviews seem to hate it

I mean mass shooters in the USA do love similar movies ( Taxi driver which was a major influence for joker and Falling Down [ which was directed by a man who do multiple Batman movies.] come to mind) to so the fear wasn't unfounded.

It looks like it’s currently back to 79% with 117 reviews. 

[emoviefan]

Are we really gonna do the swing of emotions with the RT score on this movie? LOL

[TigerPaw]

Watched it here in Singapore last night, a refreshing superhero origin story which has a lot of heart + humour. My theater ate it up.

 

Hope it has good legs.

 

One line was unneccessary though,  WB should remove it and get it shown in China...

[HummingLemon]

Currently at 78% with 115 reviews and a 6.4 average rating. Not to sound like a jerk but these reviews aren't as rave as they seemed like at first. But Aquaman had positive WOM despite mixed reviews so I think we should wait for the CinemaScore. An A or A- would be fine.

Why is there no verified RT audience score for this yet? It's like 10 pm on the east coast, showtimes started like 7 hours ago
