<br>
<br>
<br>
<u><b>Folie À Deux directly translates to madness for two. </b></u><br>

<br>
The term means 'the presence of the same or similar delusional ideas in two persons closely associated <br>
<br>
with one another', According to Merriam-Webster. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And while the name is a stroke of clever ingenuity, the film itself might leave audiences feeling more bewildered than entertained. <br>

<strong>Joker: Folie À Deux is branded 'bleak' and the <br>
<br>
'most disappointing follow-up' by critics</strong><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin reprised his role as the Joker in the <br>
<br>
sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, <br>
<br>
while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn). <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a comic <br>
<br>
book movie at the time of writing. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this <br>
<br>
year and also received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a <br>
<br>
C+. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31 percent and a critic score of 33 percent. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel is projected to rake in less that <br>
<br>
$50 million at the domestic box office during the entirety of opening <br>
<br>
weekend, per The Hollywood Reporter. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million - but the number has since drastically dropped. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters - and eventually landed a little over $1 billion in the <br>
<br>
global box office. <br>

The first movie - which was also directed by Todd Phillips - had <br>
<br>
a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However, the budget increased for Folie À Deux to around $200 million. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both critics and audiences <br>
<br>
- and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International <br>
<br>
Film Festival. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker (Arthur Fleck) - and the film garnered an additional Academy Award for Best Original Score. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel also screened during the Venice International Film Festival last month in September, where <br>
<br>
it earned a 12-minute standing ovation, per Deadline. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie <br>
<br>
released in theaters on Friday - and shared <br>
<br>
their opinions on the sequel, which features musical sequences. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
One fan penned, 'Joaquin Phoenix don't deserve this.<br>
<br>
what happened to the script?' while another added, 'is it that bad,<br>

' followed by a crying face emoji. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well, <br>
<br>
could have been a good choice. It'd show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,' one typed. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'But with some original songs, that keep everything vague, not just covers.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<b><u>A social media user wrote, 'Stop making sequels as musicals if the original wasn't a musical.' </u></b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided to randomly add musical scenes to <br>
<br>
fill the runtime,' one penned. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Joker downfall really needs to be studied,' another shared,<br>
<br>
along with a monkey staring out a window. <br>
<br>
<br>

the current Rotten Tomatoes scores. 'People are saying this is the worst sequel ever.' <br>

A fan explained, 'yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.<br>

has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the <br>

substance.' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'It also insults the audience's intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.<br>

they shouldn't have let this escape to theaters.' <br>

<br>
One shared, 'The audience that loved the first <br>
<br>
movie is not the same audience running to see musicals.<br>
<br>
This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.' <br>

<br>
<br>
During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether <br>
<br>
he would be interested in making a third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga's character. <br>

<br>
'It's not really where this movie is headed for me.<br>
