Warner Bros. does have the potential to recoup at least a bit of its investment when “Folie à Deux” lands on home entertainment platforms on Oct. 29

December 17th huh?

Guessing this one won’t make a great stocking stuffer though!

I heard to keep with the spirit of the movie, when customers purchase the Joker 2 steelbook or regular edition they shall get no disc…just a hand drawn middle finger and a p.s. love Todd

I still want to watch this even with the bad reviews, and having things spoiled already for me.

I really liked the first movie, but the way most modern movies are today, I think this will disappoint.

[Cards_Fan_15]

Easy pass. This was absolutely terrible. I'm glad that I've been able to curb my urge to be a completionist. So even though I still really like the first movie, I won't be adding this trash to my collection ever.

It will be on streaming very soon. I’d say save your money now and watch it then. If you end up liking it buy it.

[LetterDon]

This will look great on 4K. A little expensive to put on my Christmas list so close to the holidays, but it'll be in my collection some day.

I pre-ordered this. However, it says it's won't come until Dec 23, so the next Monday.

I can reorder and get release day delivery but now it's $10 than it was when I ordered it (and no delivery date was estimated yet). Amazon used to let you change your payment method and if you did that it wold recalibrate your release date. But they don't let you do that anymore. So I have to do with release day or wait a week and save $10.

Amazon ended up shipping it for release day despite claiming when I ordered it it wouldn't come to Monday. Not sure why they couldn't do the same with Alien: Romulus which said it was coming on release day until the day before and and took a week and a half to come. Anyway, I watched this on Tuesday after work with pizza. I also have the UHD for 2019 Joker which I liked although it was way different from what I was expecting going in. This time I knew it would be an alternative Batman story of sorts. But this had more connections that I was expecting, like Harvey Dent

[Show spoiler]and looks like he might be Two Face at the end

. Even though this is not a traditional Joker story, I am way too big of a Batman way and especially a Harley fan that a blind buy was not even a question. And I think this turned out pretty well. Phoenix had some really great scenes, though I'm not too big on his overall take on the Joker. Gaga killed it though as Harley. She was magnetic on screen. Definitely thought she was better here than in ASIB. It took a while to figure out that

[Show spoiler]there were 2 timelines and one was fantasy. Now that I realize that I think it was kind of brilliant what they did there, and I would like to rewatch it at some point now knowing that.

I was also exhausted and fell asleep a few times as I usually do in movies I watch on Tuesdays and a lot of the middle 1/3 I have a really hazy memory so that's another reason to rewatch. Though I liked this I can see why many batman fans might not (or the first one) and fans of the first may not like this, since Joker is locked up for most of the movie.

[Show spoiler]And the ending I was not expecting at all. I definitely did not think they would kill him off. though as they say in the specials they saw this more about introducing Harley than continuing the Joker's story.

Either way I would recommend a watch but maybe not a blind buy unless you're a big fan of the first one.

The movie is good and the UHD is incredible. It's a Dolby Vision picture and it is reference. Joker was pretty good too, this is at least as good as that. Total visual candy the whole way through and especially

[Show spoiler]in the explosion in the courtroom at the end

I watched that twice, the picture is so clear and the sound is incredible. very surreal and immersive, and I loved how it was muted for so long and slowly came back. That scene came out of nowhere and it's amazing.

[Show spoiler]And they said in the specials it was important there was no setup and you had no idea it was coming

I used headphones for the sound and it's pretty good the whole way but that's scene it's the most important. There's unfortunately no blu-ray so all specials are on the UHD. I only had time to watch the 40 minute behind the scenes feature (1080 SDR) so far. This was really good and goes over a lot of their motivations in making the movie and how they did some key scenes, lots of interviews with the director and Phoenix and Gaga. Looks like there's a handful of 5-10 minute other specials and I'll get to them Saturday probably. So if you liked the movie this is a great UHD. And if you do blind buy you definitely won't be disappointed with the presentation!

I think I prefer a locked aspect ratio for home video personally. The constant shifting pulls you out of the story when its on a small screen you can see all the edges of. I even found it a little distracting in IMAX where it looked gorgeous (and huge). I was still always aware when they shifted ratios.

[Dubliner1]

I predicted this movie wold be awful when Lady Gaga was cast in it. She needs to stick to singing.

[BluBonnet]

She's not the reason the movie sucked

She certainly didn’t help it.

See Machete, AHS: Hotel, HOG.

She's the best thing about House of Gucci. Her and Jared Leto seem to be the only ones that know what kind of movie they're in, a trashy and campy 80s crime drama knockoff.

[bookcase]

I don’t trust that it’s as bad as all the naysayers because people love to hop on the bandwagon of hate when something underperforms. But it does seem like it’s not a safe blind buy, so I want to see it first when it hits Max.

[Movieman73]

Do we know when this will be on Max? Debating whether I should see it in theaters or wait until it hits streaming.
