‘Joker 2’ Actor Accurately Predicted the Movie’s Failure While He Was on the Set: “It’s the worst film that has ever been made”

As a devoted fan of Tim Dillon and his sharp wit, I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with his assessment of Joker: Folie à Deux. The movie, for me, was akin to watching a tap-dancing harlequin jester perform an off-key rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” while juggling flaming bowling pins – not exactly my cup of tea.


As a gamer, I’ve got to say that playing Joker: Folie à Deux wasn’t exactly the enjoyable experience I had hoped for. Seems like both critics and fellow gamers have shared similar sentiments, as this game has a pretty low 32% approval rating from all sides. In other words, it’s been labeled “rotten.

The film additionally received a “D” grade from CinemaScore, which is currently the lowest score ever given to a superhero-themed movie. However, labeling Joker 2 as a superhero movie or adaptation of a comic book may not be entirely correct.

As a devoted admirer, I must confess that the film’s disappointing performance at the box office and on PVOD didn’t exactly take me by surprise, given the production challenges it faced. Even though Lady Gaga reportedly expressed shock, it seems not everyone associated with the movie was taken aback by its underperformance.

In Tim Dillon’s own description, he played a minor part in the film, but he considers it to be the worst production he has ever been involved with.

Dillon is a popular comedian and podcast host, recognized for his dark sense of humor and bold approach. He frequently tackles topics like politics, pop culture, and conspiracy theories using a blend of sarcasm and satire. His show, titled “The Tim Dillon Show“, has garnered a significant audience and contributed to his growing online presence.

Dillon recently appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience and didn’t hold back with his opinions.

As a dedicated gamer, let me say that among all the movies I’ve seen, none has been as disappointing as the one I just watched. It wasn’t ‘so bad’ in an entertaining way; it was simply terrible. In my opinion, it easily takes the crown as the worst movie ever made. After the success of the first ‘Joker,’ there was a lot of buzz around this film being enjoyed by certain groups. But for me, it failed to live up to expectations and left me feeling rather underwhelmed.

Instead of appealing to the wrong crowd, this sent a questionable message. Instead of fueling male anger and nihilism, these thinkpieces propose an alternative approach, which has led to Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga performing in an unusually exuberant manner, almost to the point of absurdity.

Dillon isn’t original in holding this view since numerous fans suspect that Phillips deliberately created the film poorly as a form of resentment towards those who don’t appreciate his style, often referred to as “the wrong kinds of bad.” Dillon himself admitted that he foresaw the movie’s failure during production.

The comedian was reportedly confused about the plot and said it wasn’t even “hate-watchable.”

In simpler terms, there’s no storyline here. You and the others, dressed in security uniforms since we were at Arkham Asylum, would be there. I’d often turn to one of you and we’d hear some nonsense, and I’d respond with something like, “What on earth is this?

They’d respond, “This is destined to fail, buddy.” I responded, “This is the worst thing I’ve ever encountered.” During lunch, we discussed it and said, “What’s the storyline? Is there a storyline? I’m not sure, but I think he falls in love with her while in prison?” It’s not even worth watching out of spite. That’s how dreadful it is. (In this paraphrase, I have tried to make the language more conversational and easier to read.)

Whether you agree with Dillon or not, the box office numbers speak for themselves. Joker 2 might not be the worst movie ever made, but it’s definitely one of the worst “superhero” movies.

By November 11, 2024, the movie “Joker: Folie à Deux” has grossed a total of $204.7 million worldwide. Of this amount, $58.2 million was earned from the U.S. and Canada, while an additional $146.5 million came from other countries. Given that the film’s break-even point is predicted to be between $375 million and $450 million, it is anticipated that Warner Bros. will incur a loss of approximately $125–200 million during its cinema release.
