Okay, been burnt on good trailers before. Been burnt on good trailers including the Joker before.

But this looks really good...

I can't tell if it's a good movie or just a movie with a lot of good shots and zero narrative cohesion

Still in though

Man, that was a good teaser. I have no idea what kind of movie this will be - has elements of horror, drama, superhero....

I love that you can already tell where it's going with this. His handwriting, his dependency on his mother, the random laughing, the constant violence he suffers, the visit to the hospital... I wondered how they might play Joker in a sympathetic light so that we would feel conflicted when he becomes a monster, but this... this could work.

I really want this to end with his therapist in 2019 pointing out he can't be over 50 when this story takes place in the 70s

I don't know man. Some parts look legit interesting, others kinda remind of those fan-made superhero movies. Not really feeling the need to make Joker relatable, but the character seems solid. I'll be waiting for reviews on this one.
It's his story, viewed from his point of view ... why wouldn't it be relatable?
Plus, the emotional shock of the madness that will be unleashed from a character that you relate too will be the emotional payback of the movie.
Can't wait !

I guess I'll be the one going against the grain. I am not feeling it. I get the concept, but I like my Joke just as a force of nature, without explicit motivation. That makes him scarrier to me.
Joker can be anything. It's fine if it doesn't jive with you, but the character went everywhere.

I'm going to see it regardless, but this trailer definitely didn't live up to the hype from the cinemacon people.

Can't wait !
Also relatable doesn't equal sympathetic. Plus The Killing Joke already did the "relatable Joker backstory" thing so there's precedent

Laughing at all the dorks who doubted Joaquin Phoenix as Joker.

Laughing at all the dorks that thought the Joker costume looked bad.

Thing is, the relatable side (in this teaser, anyway) seems bare minimum stuff. Oh, he got beaten up a couple times. Now he's a psycho killer. Feels like there's a lot of steps missing that, hopefully, the movie will deliver.

Huh, it I'm not that much of a fan of what I saw, but it still left me with the impression it'll be good.

Yeah, ok, I was not expecting it to look that good. Pretty excited to watch the movie now. I have faith in Phoenix to deliver.
