This movie has a great character arch for The Joker and delivers it perfectly with the cinematography, acting, directing, score and many other aspects, however, what puts this a an 8 for me is how some of the scenes or shots focused on being stylish more than it focused on contributing to the story; the portrayal of The Joker, even though I know it was trying to be more realistic, disappointed me a tiny bit because of how much crazier Joker is in the source material. Joker is still a good film if you watch it as a film rather than an adaptation, so I recommend you do that.
