Monaghan blows away Leto


I actually didn't hate Jared Leto's Joker. He was actually the only thing I liked about Suicide Squad. But I hardly even got time to get to know him due to his short screen time. But Jerome has plenty of screen time and motivation. Great performance.

Jared wasn't a bad Joker, it was just sort of a weird interpretation with the tats and the way he acted. This Cameron guy though, is quite good.

Jared couldn't copy the two great joker incarnations before him, I think each Joker incarnation is truly accurate to the time and tones of the movies.

Absolutely. Jerome has been crushing it IMO.

Yeah, Jerome has been crushing the Heath Ledger template, for sure. IMO.

It's not just Ledger. He acts like Hamill's and Nicholson's Joker as well. He's like all 3 in one.

reply

He reminds me more of Mark Hammil's Joker.

I liked Leto's joker, it was not that bad each joker brings something different. I was watching an interesting video defending Leto, saying that it was the studio mislead him. Because Leto does not take any and every role. It is also not like he just showed up and read his lines and left, he put a lot of effort into it. Like when he sent dead rats and "used" condoms and other gifts to his co stars. Also if you look at interviews he gave way back when it was announced he was to become the joker he was all excited and happy and smiling to take on this role. But then after the film was about to come out/ after released his interviews changed like he was not happy, not really smiling just giving like what looks like "forced" smiles. So according to the video the studio led him to believe one thing and then they did something different.

Man, that Leto.... all that hype for his " intense method acting " and all he had to show for it was , like , 7 minutes of " HAH...HEH...HEH.......HEH " like a *beep* donkey being murdered and a bunch of " ooooh look at yooouuu-ah "'s and growling and purring like a *beep* cat ( I thought cats were... ya know... Catwoman's thing ? Lmao )
