Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady <br>
<br>
Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The 'bleak' sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, <br>
<br>
with some claiming Lady Gaga's career could be at risk.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot seat, critics have said the sequel is just a 'repeat' of <br>
<br>
the first hit but with an added musical twist.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Most critics have said Todd failed to use Gaga correctly in the movie and claimed she was only bought in for the musical <br>
<br>
aspect of it.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux didn't live up to expectations, <br>
<br>
others have dubbed the movie 'bold' and 'brilliant'.<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
Joker: Folie à Deux premiered at the 81st Venice International Film <br>
<br>
Festival last month and was released in the United Kingdom <br>
<br>
and the United States on Friday. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Daily Mail's Brian Viner commended the move as 'bold' and 'brilliant' but said it lacked any thrill.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Giving the sequel a four star rating, he wrote: 'This film is audaciously different in style from the original, not as electrifying, but <br>
<br>
bold and brilliant all the same.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Arthur is now behind bars, waiting to see whether <br>
<br>
he will be judged sane enough to stand trial for murder, and in the meantime enjoying his celebrity status with fellow prisoners and even the <br>
<br>
warders, one of whom, a sadistic Irishman played by Brendan Gleeson, feeds him cigarettes in return for jokes.<br>

Joker: Folie a Deux is a punchline five years in the making,<br>
<br>
writes BRIAN VINER<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Lady Gaga plays Lee, a fellow inmate on her way, we suppose,<br>
<br>
to becoming Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn. The pair hit it off at a music therapy class, and are soon mutually smitten, but Lee makes it clear that she loves the dangerously charismatic Joker,<br>
<br>
'clown prince of crime', not the gloomily introspective <br>
<br>
Arthur.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Which is more real: the psychopath wearing the mask or the vulnerable <br>
<br>
fellow behind it? Either way, identity confusion is the theme of this film, which keeps being <br>
<br>
billed as a musical. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'It's not, really, although music looms large as an expression of Arthur and Lee's burgeoning love for one another.<br>
<br>
And there are a couple of swooning dance routines that make them look like psychotic versions of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone in La La Land (2016).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'For me, Joker was a near-masterpiece, and while this sequel doesn't scale those heady <br>
<br>
heights, it is still a gripping film about mental illness; not quite comparable with all-time greats such as Psycho (1960) <br>
<br>
and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975), but not too far off.'<br>
