Joker 2 is a dull and dreary sequel – it feels like an ego project for Joaquin Phoenix

THERE were moments in this sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 brilliant Joker when I was so frustratingly bored I wanted to shout “ARE YOU JOKING?”

Mostly when Joaquin Phoenix, who is not a natural singer, broke into yet another song.

A song that was performed in full. Sung at an agonisingly slow pace. With only a close up of his face to look at.

It was not the only annoyance in this woefully dull and dreary film...
