What Hideo Kojima’s Joker 2 Review Means
The Video Game Designer Liked The Movie
While he is mostly known for his work in the video game industry, creating games likeDeath Strandingand theMetal Gearfranchise, Kojima’s movie and TV reviews have earned him a new following. The creator has particularly commented on many superhero projects, and fans always worry that their favorite movie or show will getKojima’s one-sentence treatment. What that means is that when Kojima does not like a movie or TV show, he simply tends to say, “Saw [insert the movie/TV show].”

The Batman’s spinoff, The Penguin, has been met with praise, and there are many reasons why the DC show works as a villain story where Joker 2 failed.
However, when Kojima likes something, he often writes long paragraphs about said project. That was the case withJoker: Folie à Deux. In the DC movie’s case, Kojima even went so far as to say, “There is no doubt that everyone in the audience loved Joaquin and Gaga in this film.” That includes himself, cementing thatKojima quite enjoyedJoker: Folie à Deux. The video game industry icon goes against the public consensus on the film, asJoker: Folie à Deuxcurrently has a 32% score with the audience on the popular review aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes.
Our Take On Hideo Kojima’s Joker 2 Review
I Don’t Agree With Kojima’s Joker 2 Prediction
Sadly, I did not enjoyJoker: Folie à Deuxnearly as much as Kojima did. While I was also interested in the examination of whether Joaquin Phoenix’s character was truly Arthur Fleck or the Joker at his core, I don’t believe thatJoker: Folie à Deuxmanaged to make the execution land. I did not find the movie exciting or really thought-provoking beyond what we already knew about the character. As such, I don’t believe thatJoker: Folie à Deux’s reputation will change in the future like Hideo Kojima does.
