Netizens flood social media with their reviews of Joker 2

As the film released in India and some other parts of the world, social media users took to X (formerly Twitter) to share their candid feelings about the film on social media platforms incuding X and Reddit. One user wrote, “Many years ago I did a version of this as a parody, never thought I'd see a Joker musical”. Another user wrote, “Absolutely. When was watching it I told my wife it all seemed like I’d seen it before. Then it hit me and I started looking up the comparisons and it feels like plagiarism. Hell it even has the same actor in an inverse role”. “Regardless of the films quality I always find it really funny how so many people complain about “filmmakers don’t take risks anymore”, and then this is the kind of discourse that happens almost every time a film takes a big risk”, wrote the third user.
