Joker Rising

For a super low budget I was expecting another movie I watched for about 20 minutes and then stopped watching because it was so bad. This movie on the other hand was better than some (to be unnamed) large budget, big studio productions. This movie had very good acting, very good filming, and a story that should have been picked up by Warner Brothers to make into a large budget movie. This movie is a must watch for Batman fans and even people who like to watch comic book movies. Harley Quinn is in this movie too. It brings some perspective on how she came into the Joker's life and changed him in such a way that he has become the villain that we love today. Watch, watch watch this movie and then hope that they make more with Warner Brothers' help.

Shockingly bad I watch fan films to support fan films but this was tedious wooden and a country mile from the mark joker at the end was the only saving grace watch predator crusades much better fan film

When I came upon this film on Youtube, I played it with the intent of using it as background noise while I worked on some home projects. It didn't take long before I set my projects aside to give the film my full attention.

What you have in Joker Rising is a production created with sheer talent and imagination. On a shoe string budget of $3000, this film lacked the over the top special effects and over paid actors of the Hollywood Batman films. However, what it did have was solid performances from actors who deserve far more recognition than they will probably ever get, a story of characters who you will actually care about, and an overall production value that far exceeds it's budget.

Whether you're a Batman fan or not doesn't really matter. I would suggest you watch this film.

Going well beyond the standards of fan films Joker rising ascends to dizzying Heights. The film is low budget however highly effective at delivering character beats and pathos at every turn. The only issue is sound quality however this is not enough of an issue to derail what is easily one of the best Joker adaptations in film history.

Several of the actors are noteworthy however no one can touch the prowess of Dylan Hobbs as the joker. Playing as joker's former self initially who is seemingly emotionally disconnected from the world around him Hobbs is able to effectively play a stone cold psychopath by the end of the film after delivering one of the best and most shocking emotional scenes put to film.

Highly recommended.

Overall this is a very good movie and in many ways is better than some Hollywood Batman films. It has a much more realistic, tight story. The main actors do a good job despite some rough acting from some of the minor characters (which is to be expected on a very low budget movie shot over such a short period of time). A couple amazing scenes really make this movie worth watching. The sound quality is not great at times, but the soundtrack is very good. My wife and I return to watch this movie often.
