I think (from what you said) you can only appreciate popcorn/video game movies.
Which is sad...

I hope you are very young, so you have a chance to appreciate art in more then one form one day.

I think this movie is great, not boring at all.

To be honest i was surprisingly underwhelmed by the film despite Joaquin Phoenix's convincing portrayal of a mentally damaged individual but the OP sounds like a post deliberately meant to trigger negative responses.

Having now seen it I don't particularly get the over the top negative or positive hype surrounding the film. The narrative is general enough that this film could have worked without any Joker/ Batman comic references.

>>Was watching this online and this film was was so boring. I'm so used to face paced films so maybe that's why..

Nice try being a troll there, buddy.

Then you missed the end where Arthur got redeemed and fit back into society, it went like this:

"Here Arthur have a Snickers.
Why?
Because you go crazy as a coot when you're hungry."

Was a very poignant moment and the wind back scenes as he went from looking like Joker back to Arthur were amazing, probably win a best Cinematography Oscar for that scene alone. Sure if he had have taken the Snickers from those 3 guys on the subway or from Randall when he and Gary visited him in his apartment it would have made for a shorter film, however nowhere near as powerful.

There was a girl sitting next to me who kept texting on her phone all throughout the movie and talking to whoever sat on the other side of her, whereas I was simply riveted - I guess some people just don't understand this level of film-making.
