Captivating until about 10 mins from the end. Very slow paced but I enjoyed the atmosphere. Although we were introduced to lots of indigenous characters that were forgotten about. The whole relationship build up between the French family and Damon were forgotten about.

The twist and reason for Lina's death was merely brushed over.

Unfortunately due to the last rushed 10 mins of the film, its forgotten about.

From the off I was dubious about Liam Neeson. But with Larry Fishburn I succumb to curiosity. Oh my word what did I do!!!??

It's god awful. I mean there's awful then there's God Awful! I can not understand how this is a movie! Iv watched worse things go down my toilet after a vindaloo! Every single line spoken by every single "actor" is terrible! It's a rubbish linear plot to begin with which has no twists (apart from the extremely obvious one with the main villain) The effects are mystifyingly diabolical and the characters, if you can call them Characters, are all pointless!

The fight scenes. Wooden as hell! Neeson's final punch is something out of a carry on film! The technical aspects of ice and how they drag 2 fully Losded rigs up from on their sides without a fulcrum at height is impossible. How they tie a winch to a perfectly sized pole they just happen to find in the back of the trailer along with a boring machine, and use that to winch their way to safety when the head of the trailer, with a 3tonne engine sat in it, is buried in a freshly collapsed hole in the ice? Nonsense!

Every scene inside the mine was a Complete waste of time. Who cares that they might have to kill a few off for the rest to survive. I'd rather have watched them all eat each other for 2 hours than this abomination!

Neeson, fishburn, hang your heads in shame. No more movies for either of you! No coming back from this! Dire!!

I want to know how anyone can NOT give this film a score of 10! It's impeccable in every way! Long term fan of Joaquin, but here his acting culminates in the most amazing, Oscar worthy performance ever!

Not everyone who watches Joker may be a Batman fan, and some may not agree with the storyline featuring him and Thomas Wayne. But if you can ignore the routes the other films follow and just immerse yourself in this storyline it makes perfect sense.

It's a huge wake up call for mental illness and how it can be dealt with by society. Persecuted and beaten up for uncontrollable laughter! The epitome of negative attitudes towards those less fortunate.

And no ridiculous storylines about falling into a tank of acid to become the joker. However I am not knocking the performance of Jack or Heath as the same character. Imo they were both equally as perfect in their own rights.

The mere fact that the start and the whole film is Joker trying to write jokes and become a comedian, and has to go through a huge metamorphosis to become the character we all know and love, then refuses to tell his councillor at the end because "she won't get it" is the perfect anticlimax that he deserves!

Acting throughout is flawless, the pace is perfect. I love the slowness. Because even tho you may end up aching in the cinema rafter watching it, the longevity of the story carries on for ages after you leave.

It's a movie that you can watch over and over and really empathise with Arthur. A mentally ill person who is tarnished by a failing prejudicial society who eventually constructs a demonic, revenge fuelled monster. A perfect film. A perfect metaphor.
