'Joker: Folie ¨¤ Deux' X review: Netizens call Joaquin Phoenix starrer 'worst movie of 2024' but want stand-alone film for Gaga's Harley Quinn
'Joker: Folie ¨¤ Deux', the highly anticipated film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, have received mixed reviews from netizens. Many believed the new part failed to meet the standard set by its predecessor.
Joker: Folie ¨¤ Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga in lead roles, hit the big screens in India on Wednesday (October 2). While the film will be released globally on October 4, it has already premiered at many Film Festivals across the world. Fans of the franchise who caught the early shows of the movie at its screening have now taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) to share their review of the psychological thriller - and by the looks of early reviews pooling in, it appears that
Joaquin and Gaga's film has left many disappointed.
The fresh instalment comes exactly 5 years after the release of the critically acclaimed first part. The reviews for the second part are extreme, with netizens dubbing it the 'worst movie of 2024'. However, the general consensus is Harley Quinn, played by Gaga, deserves her stand-alone film.
Praising Gaga's performance, one user wrote, "As far as I¡¯m concerned #JokerFolieADeux leaves room for a Harley Quinn solo film down the line. GOD do I hope it happens. Gaga had GENIUS behind her portrayal and was by far the most intriguing part of the entire film. She truly understands the character. She would crush it."

Another user, echoing similar sentiments, wrote, "I walked out of #JokerFolieADeux completely floored. Todd Phillips created a poetic and romantic love story that is brilliantly intertwined with music. Joaquin Phoenix delivered again but Lady Gaga is a movie star. She belongs in the Oscar conversation. I loved it."

A disappointed movie buff noted, "#JokerFolieADeux might be the worst movie of 2024¡that ending completely ruins the first movie. If you¡¯re a fan of the first movie DO NOT WATCH JOKER 2 3/10 movie."

Failing to hide the disappointment, another user mentioned, "Well, #Joker2 was the worst movie I¡¯ve seen in my 38 years of life. It was criminally bad. All involved in this mess should be in prison. #JokerFolieADeux"

Another review shared by a netizen read, "I thought #JokerFolieADeux was quite bad. A bland musical, an uninspired story, a wasted Harley...oh I'm sorry, LEE Quinn, and a very mediocre plot. As someone who loved the first one, they clearly had no clue what to do with the sequel. Disappointed."
