Many fans on Here is how they reacted to the film:

I saw some folks online praising Joker 2. Nope. Joker 2 sucks. Fuck everyone involved. It’s so bad that it ruins the original. If you see someone trying to tell you that it’s good immediately assume that they have zero clue about filmmaking and never listen to their suggestions…

Joker Folie à Deux is not as good as the first but the musical part made it different and good, the ending was interesting idk how to feel but Joaquin Phoenix slaps as joker again and so does Lady Gaga with Harley. Movie had a basic plot about court but still entertaining. 7.5/10 pic.twitter.com/SvWzJi8NPZ

#Joker2 is an absolute disaster. Director Todd Phillips made a clueless, boring, and terrible sequel to #Jokercompletely ruining its legacy. I can’t believe they turned it into a depressing musical that will bore the audience. The climax will leave you frustrated.
