00:00It's so mesmerizing to see Joaquin Phoenix's performance.

00:04It's just Oscar-worthy.

00:15Hi, this is Shyama Krishnakumar from Gulf News Tabloid,

00:17and we're at Walk Cinema's Mall of the Emirates,

00:19and we've just watched Warner Bros. and DC's latest movie, Joker.

00:23This is a movie where we go back to Gotham City

00:25and meet Batman's greatest nemesis, Joker.

00:28Let's see what the people have to say,

00:30what the moviegoers have to say about the movie.

00:32What do you think about the movie?

00:33It is disturbing, but at the same time,

00:36it is just a different take on the superhero genre.

00:39It's just fresh, and it's so mesmerizing to see Joaquin Phoenix's performance.

00:46It's just Oscar-worthy.

00:48It's too early to call, but it's amazing.

00:50It's fabulous. It's just amazing. My mind is blown.

00:54The movie is a little slow, but then it's acquired taste.

00:58The acting is brilliant, and whatever laurels go for this movie,

01:02it has to be for the actors' performance.

01:04You see an Oscar coming for the guys.

01:05Yeah, definitely.

01:06It's absolutely incredible. Amazing.

01:07Yeah, one of my favorite versions of Joker, for sure.

01:09It's a bit different from the normal DC movies that you see.

01:12It's not exactly darker as compared to how the previous Batman movies were shown,

01:19but it's quite a refreshing change, and it's really nice to see all the acting,

01:23especially the way he performed his expressions,

01:26and the way he left things, how he went about things.

01:30It was really nice. If you would ask me, I would rate this at least 9 out of 10.

01:34Do you think this was the best Joker performance ever, or do you have a favorite?

01:38I loved Heath Ledger's performance, but I think this is another great Joker in the library.

01:46I couldn't believe that it could be so good.

01:50Heath Ledger is the best, but he still has a really great job.

01:53I would say Ackbar.

01:54Yeah.

01:55I suppose it's two different universes, like completely different takes,

01:58but I love this Alpha Fleck in Hard to Beat.

02:00What about you, Nidhi?

02:01Yeah, exactly the same. Incredible. Yeah, I cried a lot.

02:04Joaquin Phoenix is really amazing.

02:05I've been following him since the time he was from his Gladiator movie,

02:09and he's done a lot of movies, and this was too good.

02:13One of his best performances, I think he could be a nominator for Oscars.
