They actually did it. They took the darkest, and quite possibly the best, story arcs from sonics library of games, and they didn't change anything just to "check things off the list" or try and water down some of the more heavy parts of the story and they actually did it. Is the movie perfect... Of course not. Like the first two movies the humor is really cheesy and over the top. I will also say I'm not a fan of what they did with the Chaos. But Shadow was done perfectly. Jim Carrey is a comedic powerhouse in this movie and the fact that he's playing two different characters now is just a testament to how talented he is. Also, the main reason why this is easily the best in the franchise is because they finally listen to the fans and they cut out the fat in the movie. The humans are not as insufferable as they have been in the last two movies, and the only time that they are on screen is to further along the story of the characters from the games. This is without a shadow of a doubt... Sorry for the pun... The best video game movie I have ever seen in my entire life. Everyone who made this movie... Thank you.
Let me just start things off as simple as possible and if you want to read the rest of the review, that's fine. This is the worst sequel ever made.
If you are a fan of that first joker movie and if you're a comic book fan in general... this movie hates you, and everyone that supported the first joker. This is a middle finger to an entire fanbase in cinematic form. Everyone that agreed to do this movie, including Lady Gaga, Joaquin Phoenix, Todd Phillips, and all of the returning cast and crew should be ashamed of themselves.
I'm not gonna spoil the movie, but I have to be honest with you... Don't see this. Hes not even the Joker throughout most of the film, unless it some of the musical numbers OH YEAH BY THE WAY, this is a musical now. Also, the ending doesn't make any sense and it basically ruins not only this entire movie but the first movie as well. They're basically is no story by the way. Without the musical numbers, this movie would be 45 minutes long and to be honest with you with the way the story goes. There's no reason for this movie to exist. Literally zero. Also, they completely change Harley Quinn's character, And even the same character anymore in fact, they don't even call her Harley. Might as well have not even use her in this movie and just called her a completely different person and it would've been exactly the same same. Arthur Fleck also doesn't act at all like how he did at the end of the first movie and it kind of retracts back to how he was at the beginning which doesn't make sense because the whole point of that first movie is that he evolved into the joker. There's a ton of holes in this movie and people show back up and things happen in this that don't match up at all with the first movie. And I understand that they keep using the excuse that he imagines and always hallucinates things, but that can only go so far. This movie literally seemed like Todd Phillips made a fake script and sent it to the studio because he didn't want to do a sequel but the studio couldn't figure that out and they made him make the movie anyway and now he's being forced to make a fake script for a movie that he didn't wanna make. That's honestly how it feels. It really does feel like at the end though that this movie was an intentional , stab in the back to all the people that were fans with that first movie. Because it's so cynical towards not just the people that follow the joker and who the joker is, but also that a fan of the comics in general and also other adaptations of those comics. There's one Instance, especially towards the end, that is not only extremely confusing, but it's also just really disrespectful and insulting in general that makes it seem like the person who made this movie was genuinely trying to piss people off.
So yeah... I think it goes without saying at this point I did not like this movie. But I have to be honest with you. I have never hated a film more in my entire life. This movie has wasted my time, and my money, and Many many many months of not only being excited for this movie but also for the first movie as well and which this movie destroys coinciding. If you like the first joker, please do not watch this. This is without a doubt, my least favorite movie of all time.

After the finale of this previous season, I finally have come to the realization that this is one of the better sitcoms I have seen in a very, very, very long time. Let me just start off by saying that I never got into big bang theory. I had friends who were really into it, but whenever I watched it I just saw it as cringe nerd humor by people who weren't actually nerds... Or that's what I thought at the time. As time has gone on, I realize that there's a lot more inside jokes, and deeper moments in that show... and the reason why I've come around to it is 100% because of a Young Sheldon. It takes the best parts of Big Bang Theory and gets rid of the cringey laugh track style comedy for a more dry and intelligent sense of humor and extremely funny witty characters while also ironically being a more mature show about the interpersonal relationships of a family on the verge of collapsing. It's funny, it's super heartwarming, it's sad, and it's also extremely smart with how it handles its characters. I had zero expectations going into the show when I first started watching it but as the years went on, it's become one of my favorite sitcoms out right now. I love the fact that it's not afraid to pull back the comedic punches and delve into more dramatic, mature themes. I think once the show ends people are going to look back and realize how surprisingly high of quality the writing is in the show and it's going to go down as one of the greatest sitcoms of all time. A+
