    Yes, the acting was excellent. Visually as dark and muted as expected. But I would have fast forward through the singing. If had known about that bit I wouldn't have wasted my money. The plot was linear and unchallenging. The whole thing could have been edited down to under an hour. Nowhere near as good as the first. Don't bother.

    Phoenix embodies the songs with raw emotion ranging from hurt and pain to the joy experienced by a hopeless, lonely man who believes that he has made a real connection. The pacing is excellent with one hit after another coming alive on the screen, and contrary to what many reviews state there is indeed a storyline; it is based on the tragic life of Arthur that is characterized by deception and rejection with the songs serving as a through line to his fleeting moments of happiness as well as his overwhelming sorrow. Phoenix gives a tremendous, resounding heartfelt performance down to the heartbreaking end.

    Another exercise in stigmatizing/slandering the mentally ill. The Nazis had a similar attitude towards those unfortunates.

    This movie was awful, just awful. I was expecting something on the order of the first one, and what a disappointment. No story, no real plot. Its way too long. And then make it into a quasi-musical? Ugh. Save your money, I'm serious.

    It was amazing! I contend it's the Cadillac of comic-book movies and it's going to make Lady Gaga a star.

    The script takes the audience down a dark and sensless path. Lady Gaga's character was dismal and depressive, and Joquin depiction of the Joker was that of a weak and frail idiot. Worst sequel EVER and DC will pay a dear price with audiences drop off.

    I loved the movie.....Hated the ending. Lady Ga-Ga was good, but didn't feel like a Harley. The songs were cool....didn't feel like a musical. The twist at the end was lame....after such a appogetic film.

    The musical aspect is so unique for a hero/villain movie I loved it!
