Joker 2 Faces Unexpected Setback Against Madame Web, Sparking Internet Buzz

Fans eagerly looking forward to *Joker 2* are now expressing their disappointment due to its unfavorable reception, particularly in contrast to *Madame Web*, a film that faced significant backlash from Marvel enthusiasts upon its release. This has sparked renewed discussions among Marvel and DC supporters, creating fresh points of contention.

*Joker: Folie à Deux* has garnered low ratings across several popular film review platforms. Some critics have even claimed it is worse than *Madame Web*. According to CinemaScore, *Joker 2* received an unprecedented “D”rating, marking it as potentially the lowest-rated comic book adaptation ever, while *Madame Web* only managed a “C+”. This disparity has led to a variety of reactions from fans on X, previously known as Twitter.

“There’s no way… AINT NO WAY I haven’t seen *Joker 2* yet, but *Madame Web* didn’t even make sense,”wrote a fan in disbelief.

“*Joker 2* is way better than *Madame Web*, the issue with *Joker 2* is that it’s a pretty poor sequel,”shared another fan, echoing a similar sentiment.

“I’m still puzzled by how this is possible,”another user noted.

The online community is stunned by the low CinemaScore for *Joker 2*, especially in comparison to *Madame Web*

The debate between Marvel and DC continues to thrive online. With the recent release of *Joker: Folie à Deux* from Warner Bros. Pictures and DC Studios, this topic has resurfaced.

Following its premiere, the film received significant criticism from both critics and audiences, reflected in its low ratings across multiple review platforms. However, the most shocking moment was when *Joker 2* was graded lower than *Madame Web* by CinemaScore, a firm that assesses audience reactions to films.

Fans turned to X to voice their thoughts regarding the CinemaScore rating.

“That’s why I went to see it myself. This movie doesn’t deserve a D. Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal. It felt more like a B, and it’s not my fault if others don’t see the artistry behind a director’s vision. I disagree with the score,”wrote one user, voicing disagreement with the rating.

“It’s really a solid C+. There’s plenty of good material, but it doesn’t quite reach success. It’s ambitious but lacks the focus of the previous film. While Gaga’s role is underutilized outside of the musical scenes, she shines when on screen. Not a bad movie overall,”added another user.

“It’s not as terrible as people are claiming. Sure, it could have been improved. But this exaggeration about its quality is absurd,”stated another.

Some viewers concur, stating that *Joker 2* deserves its poor ratings

While certain individuals reacted negatively to *Joker 2*’s CinemaScore, others were in agreement, also taking to X to share their assessments.

“In India, we saw the film before the USA, and even there, it’s receiving poor audience scores for a comic book movie,”shared one user.

“A D is well-deserved. This film is a flop, and having a musical as part of a #Joker movie was just one of many terrible creative choices. Gaga’s performance was poorly executed, and the film feels lost — I’d rate it a 3/10,”another user remarked on X.

“It was so tedious and irrelevant. It’s the worst movie I’ve seen this year. I’d prefer to watch the dreadful *Crow* remake,”said yet another user, comparing it to another film.

*Joker: Folie à Deux* was written and directed by Scott Silver and Todd Phillips, featuring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck / Joker and Lady Gaga as Harleen Quinzel.
