The movie ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ has faced significant criticism, not just from reviewers but also the audience. In fact, one of the film’s actors himself expressed doubts about its success. Tim Dillon, a comedian and actor featured in the film, voiced his opinions on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’ podcast and labeled it as “the worst ever made.”
‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ disappoints: “It lacked clear direction”
During his appearance on ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Tim Dillon reflected on ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’: “My fellow supporting actors and I had our reservations from the start. We would often sit together trying to understand the plot. It left us quite puzzled, as the script and film development seemed to lack a coherent direction.”
Dillon, who portrayed a guard at Arkham Asylum, expressed his bewilderment regarding the choices made by the filmmakers: “They avoided addressing the controversial elements that marked the first film, likely to sidestep backlash. The creators seemed to retract too much.”
The initial ‘Joker’ film earned over $1 billion globally and even won an Oscar, which starkly contrasts the performance of its sequel, which made only around $200 million. Furthermore, ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ scored just 32% on Rotten Tomatoes.
To conclude, Dillon conveyed a strong message about the film: “The perspectives of everyone involved in the project, especially the supporting actors who had doubts from the beginning, were neglected. It is indeed the worst ever made.”
