Watched the film tonight.
I am not a comic book movie guy, in fact I think every single one I have watched so far was incredibly dumb on some level. I really liked it as a character study of a broken man and Phoenix‘s performance was fantastic. Not many actors can pull off being in a movie that has basically a cast of three characters. What I didn’t like however, was the movie slipping into absurdist territory near the end. Phoenix‘s great performance almost makes you forget though that the plot is paper thin and incredibly contrived, but I guess that comes with the genre of comic book movies.
