JOKER: FOLIE À DEUX Actor Calls Sequel "The Worst Film Ever Made"

An actor who had a small role in Joker: Folie à Deux has shared his honest opinion of the recent sequel, and he did not hold back!

Though the movie does have its share of defenders (Quentin Tarantino, for one), Joker: Folie à Deux has been the subject of a lot of ridicule over the past few weeks - but we weren't expecting someone that was actually involved with bringing film to the screen to take such scathing shots.

During an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience, actor and comedian Tim Dillon - who has a small role as an Arkham security guard - shared his blunt, unfiltered take on Todd Phillips' highly-divisive sequel.

“It’s the worst film ever made,” Dillon said. “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,” he continued. “We would sit there, me and these other guys were all dressed in these security outfits because we’re working at the Arkham Asylum, and I would turn to one of them and we’d hear this crap and I’d go, ‘What the [frick] is this?’ And they’d go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.’ We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, ‘What is the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?’ It’s not even hate-watchable. That’s how terrible it is.”

Not a fan, then.

To be fair, Dillon is not exactly along in his opinion. Joker 2 bombed at the box office and hasn't fared very well on Digital platforms. It currently sits at 32% on Rotten Tomatoes.

From acclaimed writer/director/producer Todd Phillips comes Joker: Folie À Deux, the much-anticipated follow-up to 2019’s Academy Award-winning Joker, which earned more than $1 billion at the global box office and remains the (second) highest-grossing R-rated film of all time.

The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix once again in his Oscar-winning dual role as Arthur Fleck/Joker, opposite Oscar winner Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born). The film also stars Oscar nominees Brendan Gleeson (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Catherine Keener (Get Out, Capote), alongside Zazie Beetz, reprising her role from Joker.

The movie is rated R for “some strong violence, language throughout, some sexuality, and brief full nudity.”

LOL! It was a shit sequel but calling this the worst film ever is just stupid when you have Tubi Originals out there alone that give it a run for its money.

This is the Danny Darko/Tim Miller all over again

Small director has a hit

And then they get full of themselves and disaster strikes

Meant Josh Trank not Tim Miller (Miller could have been more full of himself considering how he let Cameron lead on Terminator)

Will the sequel to The Batman be a total POS like Joker 2?

@PartyKiller - Probably. The Batman was an unmemorable borefest in itself.

@sully - It was. It felt at times like a cheap TV pilot trying to be Nolan's Batman movies. Like the scene when Pattman went into the club. Too many scenes of Pattman walking brooding around rooms looking for clues.
