Actor from Joker 2 claims it's 'the worst film ever made' and reveals what exactly was said on set

One of the actors who appeared alongside Joaquin Phoenix in Joker: Folie à Deux has described the movie as the 'worst film ever made'.

These kinds of comments aren't that unusual coming from random movie critics on Twitter, but less often do you hear them coming from members of the cast itself.

The harsh review came after the sequel to 2019's Joker arrived in October, when Phoenix reprised his role as Arthur Fleck and was joined by Lady Gaga in the role of Harley Quinn.

Following the success of the original movie, which earned Phoenix the Oscar for Best Actor, fans had high hopes for the sequel, but its score of just 32 percent on Rotten Tomatoes proves that it didn't quite live up to expectations.

Actor and comedian Tim Dillon, who had a small role as an Arkham Asylum security guard in Folie à Deux, has since shared his thoughts on the movie during an appearance on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

He didn't hold back, saying: “It’s the worst film ever made."

Dillon continued: “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.”

Joker: Folie à Deux sparked controversy when it was revealed to be a musical, with many fans critical of the decision even before the movie came out.

But Dillon claimed it wasn't just the song-and-dance numbers that impacted the movie's success - he also alleged it had 'no plot'.

The actor revealed he and other cast members would question the direction of the movie even while filming it, claiming: “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 cr*p and I’d go, ‘What the f**k is this?’ And they’d go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ "

"I go, ‘This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen'," Dillon continued: "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.”

Though Dillon clearly isn't a fan, Joker 2 has received some love - notably by none other than renowned director Quentin Tarantino, who told The Bret Easton Ellis Podcast that Phoenix gives one of the best performances he'd 'ever seen in [his] life' in the sequel.
