The latest update on Rotten Tomatoes for “Joker: Folie à Deux” is quite disappointing.
Once upon a time, the first Joker movie dazzled everyone with its dark and gripping story, earning rave reviews and awards. But now, the sequel seems to be stumbling out of the gate. Critics are not impressed, and the scores reflect that. It’s like watching a once-great magician fumble his tricks.
Sometimes, I wonder if sequels can ever truly capture the magic of the original.
Interestingly, while some fans hoped for another masterpiece, others feared this outcome. The anticipation was high, but reality has struck a different chord. It’s as if the film tried to juggle too many ideas at once and dropped them all.
In an unexpected twist, some people are still holding out hope that audiences might see it differently than critics do. After all, movies can be like marmite—some love them, others not so much.
