Joker 2 Actor Slams ‘Joker: Folie Á Deux’ Calling It ‘The Worst Film Ever Made’

Following the sequel’s crush at the box office, a cast member shares his hate for it.

Tim Dillon, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum in ‘Joker: Folie à Deux,’ recently criticized the film during an appearance on the ‘Joe Rogen Podcast.’ “It’s the worst film that has ever been made. It’s actually not ‘so bad.’ It’s the worst film ever made,” the actor commented.

He explained, “I think what happened, after the first Joker, there was a lot of talk like, ‘Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!’ All these think pieces. And then I think, ‘What if we went the other way,’ and now they have Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga tap dancing, to a point where it’s insane… It has no plot… It’s not even hate watchable. That’s how terrible it is.”

The sequel bombed at the box office last month, making $204 million on a budget of $200 million. It also received a wave of negative responses from audiences and critics online.

Viewers expressed distaste for the amount of musical scenes in the movie as well as the slow-moving plot. The ending especially got backlash from DC fans, as an Arkham prisoner killed Joaquin Phoenix’s Arthur Fleck after he rejected the Joker persona at his trial.

The finale implied that Fleck was only an inspiration for the person who would become the Joker when the young inmate carved a Glasgow smile on his face. Though Todd Phillips defended the scene and his overall story for the DC villain, the sequel couldn’t score more than 32% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Shortly after the film’s release, Phillips made it clear that he wouldn’t return for a third film.
