The highly anticipated Joker sequel hit theaters on Friday, but was almost immediately panned by viewers and critics<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
For a few seconds, the two stars sat in silence as they <br>
<br>
both waited for the other to answer the question.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Tell them how you feel, Joaquin,' Lady Gaga, 38,<br>
<br>
said to her costar as she held out a fake microphone in front of <br>
<br>
him.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'It's so hard to talk about but I think we <br>
<br>
feel like we achieved what we set out to do,' Joaquin, 49, <br>
<br>
simply stated. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Someone on X, formerly Twitter, posted the moment online last week and it went viral,<br>
<br>
gaining more then 437,000 views in a matter of days - and many users took <br>
<br>
their initial silence as proof that they 'didn't like' the film.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The internet has been flooded with negative posts about the <br>
<br>
flick ever since it premiered, with one user branding it as a 'bore' and another claiming it <br>
<br>
had 'no plot.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Many social media users have also slammed the movie's final scene, which saw main character Arthur Fleck (portrayed by Joaquin) brutally stabbed to death by <br>
<br>
a fellow inmate.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This meant that the man that audiences had been watching over the <br>
<br>
course of the two movies was never the Joker at all, but in fact, <br>
<br>
the infamous villain from the Batman series was really <br>
<br>
just the random inmate who killed Arthur in the last moments of the film.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The shocking twist left numerous viewers unsatisfied, and they <br>
<br>
took to social media to share their frustration.<br>

The shocking twist ending left many viewers <br>
<br>
unsatisfied and they took to social media to <br>
<br>
share their frustration<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The ending made the movie a complete waste,' one outraged user wrote. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The ending was pathetic,' scathed someone else.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'WTF you mean no Joker?' <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The ending made no sense,' added another person. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'That ending? It's so bad that not only it ruins Joker <br>
<br>
2 but also the first Joker for the audience,' read a fourth tweet.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The Joker had so much potential but that f**king ending ruined everything,' <br>
<br>
a fifth said. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The Todd Phillips-directed musical serves as a follow-up to the 2019 box office hit, which was simply titled Joker. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The first film grossed over $1 billion and at the time was the highest-grossing <br>
<br>
R-rated film of all time. It received 11 Oscar nominations <br>
<br>
- two of which it won. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The sequel, however, has already been much less <br>
<br>
successful. It had a lackluster $40 million debut at the box office in its first weekend, and has a low rating of 33 percent and 31 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'Undoing much of the goodwill from its predecessor, the sequel convolutes what could <br>
<br>
have been a unique character study into a bloated encore that goes out with a whimper,' reads one <br>
<br>
review. <br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Another critic wrote, 'This movie is a disjointed mess and a waste of time.<br>
<br>
It's just tired, not particularly interesting, but it does look good from a <br>
<br>
production design standpoint.'<br>
