the fact its a musical buried this film
The only good musicals (where people start singing for no reason) that I actually love are Blues Brothers and Monty Python’s Holly Grail.
I’d watch it if it was a heavy dark drama. A musical? I think not.
The southpark movie was pretty good too
That was the first musical I ever liked. I did like Sweeny Todd too
South Park and Willy Wonka would like to have a word with you
have to agree. i was kinda looking forward to it… but a musical? gad. no. the worst episodes of my favorite shows are when they thought it would be cute to make them musicals.
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia did a fine musical. It’s one of their best episodes.
if youre referring to the nightman; i would argue that they put on a musical within the show. the episode itself was not a musical.
the other episode that is a musical is not one i particularly enjoy
Imo the scrubs episode where the patient views the world as a musical is pretty good, but you’re right it’s far from being one of the best episodes.
I thought this was a bad joke. Turns out, it’s the movie that’s the bad joke.
“You wouldn’t get it”
Seriously, after the first film this is as far from what you’d expect, and want from a sequel.
I’ll definitely pass on this as well.
I have a feeling this was done on purpose… The regime didn’t like how the first movie resoanted a little too much with the plebs for their comfort.
So they made a movie to alienate the core audience. But that’s just some tinfoil.
Oh… First film was great but…a musical. ffs
First film was a great film if it were new IP, but a shit joker batman film. The second film was always likely to be shit, because they were always going for abstract and avant garde artistry without a clear connection to the underlying and far stronger story and IP people are expecting. I’m sure it’s a beautiful film and musical, but it’s dog shit attached to joker.

With Lady Gaga, no less. They added a music person for the musical.
It seems that the suits have misunderstood their target audience get again.
That they hid it was a musical is my issue. Did no one learn from the Mean Girls musical? If people get to the show and are surprised with a genre they aren’t expecting, of course the film will suffer. Additionally, people who like musicals aren’t going to attend since they aren’t being advertised to
Unexpected genre also killed Brutal Legend. The commercials advertised it as an action-adventure game, but it’s actually an RTS. Action-adventure fans hated it, and RTS fans had no idea it was an RTS until it showed up on Steam four years later.
It was announced to be a musical when it was first greenlit.
Sure, but I wasn’t paying attention to that and I think a lot of people weren’t either. The previews, while musical, seemed stylized and did not convey a strong sense that that is how the whole movie was going to be.
That explains why all the scenes in the trailer were of people singing and dancing. Welp I dont care for most musicals. Especially The Sound of Music. Hate that film.
Especially The Sound of Music. Hate that film.
Everyone is entitled to their own (wrong) opinions.
Not everything needs a sequel.
As somebody who hated that the first movie was so popular, I have the biggest grin on my face right now
It has its moments but I say it was just very overrated. I was worried about it because the first one came out at the height of violent incels idolizing the Joker. With that movie almost portraying him as a sympathetic villain I had concerns it may start to galvanize a few too many of those wackados
