Scarlet Witch/Wanda is my all-time favourite comic character and this show does her justice. Massive fan of Elizabeth Olsen as well. I've only seen the first 2 episodes but can only think of 2 things I wish could have been different (But I realise is more up to Disney than the creators/writers). Firstly, it would be great if this was R rated to give more of the "Get Out" type psychological thriller vibe (Which they wouldn't do because it's Disney). Secondly, they could also make the episodes longer if they're going to be releasing them weekly instead of all at once. Apart from that, I have nothing to complain about and can't wait for the next episode!

Too much, yet too little. So close, yet so far. It was a good show if you are a patient person. I can see what they tried to do with the direction of the show, but it seemed like there were too many directions so it went nowhere. The jokes could have been great but fell short just a bit which ended up making them awkward to the extent of making the entire show almost anxiety inducing. It needed tidying up for the humour the writers were trying to recreate to be successful. Either the writers/editors rushed it or they looked over it too many times and messed around with it.

I have looked forward to this movie for a long time. A big fan of the character and the actors themselves.

I was very disappointed. The acting from this movie was brilliant without fault. I would give it 10/10 if it were based on that alone.

The Joker character is supposed to be an extremely high trait psychopath absent of all rationale and sanity. The Joker character portrayed in this movie is human. It is someone who shows symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. There are very few characteristics of someone that is a high trait psychopath. I have worked on psychiatric inpatient wards (including forensic) and have several degrees within the field. The Joker in this movie is a human-being that is unwell. I have done extensive research in both the fields of psychopathy and bipolar disorder. He shows symptoms of someone experiencing psychosis and very few symptoms of the dark triad (Psychopathy, Narcissism and Machiavellianism).

The Joker character in the comic books and cartoons is supposed to be the most deranged killer and high trait psychopath that is INHUMANLY possible. What I saw was one of my patients suffering without help due to cuts for NHS funding, the US medical system. Adding to the stigma behind mental illness.

I applaud the actors in this movie. They have represented people who experience bipolar disorder, types of schizophrenia and some personality disorder traits excellently. But this has added to the stigma of mental health difficulties. People who suffer from these conditions should not be feared.

The point is..... If you ever are going to make a Joker movie again, ask for more advice from professionals.... You have added to the stigma of people who are mentally ill. Psychopathy is a trait not a disorder.

Disappointed is all I can say.
