Joker: Folie à Deux Review: A disappointingly tame sequel?It’s almost comical to think now, but there was a time, shortly before Todd Phillips’s Joker opened in theaters, that critics and journalists - mostly in the online sphere - were convinced the movie was “dangerous” and that screenings of the film would incite waves of violence from the audiences whose minds would surely be warped the second they saw Joker dance down the steps to Gary Glitter’s “Rock n’Roll Part 2.” That didn’t happen, of course, with audiences getting that - yes - in the end, it’s just a movie, albeit one that grossed over a billion dollars worldwide and won an Oscar for its star.
Yet, it feels like Phillips, to some extent, might have taken some of those criticisms to heart, with Joker: Folie à Deuxreframing Fleck’s tale as less a dark, psychological descent into madness and more of a tragedy about a man whose trauma made him into a monster. Granted, there was some of that in the first movie, but this makes a bold attempt to distance itself from the DC Universe, setting Arthur’s story as something distinctive from the Clown Prince of Crime we know from the rest of Batman’s lore.
