"Joker: Folie à Deux Bombs at Box Office, Fans Deem It 'Worst Film'"

"Joker: Folie à Deux" has underperformed at the box office, leading many fans to label it the 'worst film of the decade.' Despite high expectations following the success of the original "Joker" film, this sequel has failed to resonate with audiences. Critics have pointed to various issues, including the storyline and character development, contributing to its disappointing reception among fans and at the box office.

Joaquin Phoenix’s much-anticipated film "Joker: Folie à Deux" premiered yesterday. This sequel to the successful 2019 film "Joker" features the acclaimed singer-songwriter Lady Gaga as Dr. Harleen Quinzel. As Phoenix reprises his role as the Joker, Gaga joins Todd Phillips' film as his love interest, Harley Quinn. DC fans who eagerly awaited this next installment were excited as they made their way to the theaters to see "Joker: Folie à Deux." However, the film has not met the high expectations of viewers.

"Joker: Folie à Deux" struggled at the box office, although Gaga received praise for her dramatic performance. Both fans and critics have described the film as "dull" and "boring." The movie begins as a twisted, exhilarating love story between the Joker and Lee but is soon overshadowed by a tedious courtroom drama focused on the events of the first film. The romantic angle proves far more engaging than Arthur’s trial, largely due to Gaga’s electrifying on-screen presence.

While the unusual chemistry between Gaga and Phoenix is intriguing, their love story comes across as superficial. Gaga’s character is mainly limited to singing energetically or performing well-known songs, leaving many fans feeling disappointed.

Social media users have flooded the internet with negative reviews expressing their dissatisfaction. One user shared on X that "Joker: Folie à Deux" was a complete letdown, labeling it a plagiarized version of the original, unworthy of praise. Another user quipped, "They say don’t believe people’s reviews, but go and see the movie for yourself, so I went to see #Joker2, and honestly, if I hadn’t gone, I wouldn’t have realized that it wasn’t just a bad movie but the worst movie of the decade."

While viewers appreciated Harley Quinn’s role, many felt frustrated by how the character struggled to justify her presence in the film.
