'Joker: Folie à Deux' has generated a wide range of reactions from critics and audiences alike. While some hail the film's unique approach, featuring musical elements with Lady Gaga alongside Joaquin Phoenix, many reviews express disappointment, describing it as bleak, boring, and a wasted opportunity for both lead actors. With a current rating drop to 42% on Rotten Tomatoes, concerns are growing about its box office performance, particularly against the backdrop of bad buzz and declining opening weekend projections. Despite its ambitious aims, including a courtroom drama element and musical numbers, the sequel seems to struggle to capture the success of its predecessor, with some critics urging fans to manage their expectations.
