There’s no other movie that comes close in this debate: the worst movie of the year is Joker 2.

Maybe we can call it a trainwreck in the making when we think about Joker: Folie à Deux. From the moment rumors started swirling that the sequel to the 2019 hit starring Joaquin Phoenix would be a musical, fans were already skeptical. Things only got worse when Warner Bros., in a pretty misguided marketing move, failed to make it clear that the movie would actually include musical elements.

Then came the release—and musical or not, the film flopped. Hard.
