The latest Joker movie reviews point to one clear pick: Joker (2019). It holds a 68% critic score and an 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, while the newest film, Joker: Folie à Deux (2024), sits near 32% with critics and earned a D CinemaScore. If you want the Joker movie that reviewers stood behind, watch the 2019 original first.

Why Joker (2019) takes the top spot

Joker opened in October 2019 with a mid-size budget, an R rating, and no Batman. Warner Bros. spent about $55 million on the film and got back more than $1 billion worldwide. Few dramas of any kind manage that ratio, and no comic book film that year came close.

Joker review scores at a glance

Scores move as new reviews arrive, so treat these as snapshots rather than a fixed verdict.

What do the latest Joker movie reviews say about Folie à Deux?

Joker: Folie à Deux premiered at Venice in September 2024 and reached US theaters on October 4, 2024. The sequel turns the story into a courtroom drama with musical numbers and pairs Phoenix with Lady Gaga as Harleen "Lee" Quinzel. Reviews turned negative fast.

Critics who liked the film pointed to the two leads, the Lawrence Sher cinematography, and the nerve of turning a big sequel into a jukebox musical. Critics who disliked it pointed to the pacing, the thin plot, and an ending that left crowds quiet.

How the two Joker films compare

Story and tone

The 2019 film follows Arthur Fleck from a failing clown job into violence, and it stays on the street and inside his head. The 2024 film opens in Arkham State Hospital and spends much of its run in a courtroom, with fantasy numbers cutting into the testimony. One is a character study, the other is a musical with a trial at the center.

Critical and audience reception

The gap between them is wide. Joker landed a fresh rating and an Oscar campaign that ended with two wins. Folie à Deux landed a rotten rating, a D CinemaScore, and a short theatrical run. Viewers who wanted a sequel to the first film often got something closer to a stage show.

Which one should you watch first?

Watch Joker (2019) first. It sets up Arthur Fleck, Gotham, and the talk-show climax that the sequel keeps returning to. Folie à Deux assumes you know all of it.

Is Joker: Folie à Deux worth watching anyway?

Yes, for some viewers. Lady Gaga fans get a full musical showcase. Phoenix fans get another pass at a role that won him an Oscar. Anyone who tracks divisive studio swings may find more here than the score suggests.

Skip it if you want the tension of the first film. The sequel trades threat for songs, and that trade is the main reason reviews split so hard.

Where does The Dark Knight fit in?

Heath Ledger played the Joker in The Dark Knight (2008) and won a posthumous Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. That film sits at 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. It is a different shape of Joker story, built as a crime epic with a large cast rather than a single character study.

How to read Joker reviews without spoilers

  1. Check the critic score and the audience score. A wide gap tells you the film divides people.
  2. Read three reviews from writers you trust, not thirty headlines.
  3. Ignore opening-weekend reactions. They cool off within a month.
  4. Decide what you want from the film: a thriller, a musical, or a performance showcase.
