  Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the 'most disappointing follow-up to
  the Oscar-winning movie' by critics, as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga's 'thin' role in the film following its release on Friday.
  
  
  The 'bleak' sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, with some claiming Lady Gaga's career could be
  at risk.
  
  While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot
  seat, critics have said the sequel is just a 'repeat'
  of the first hit but with an added musical twist.
  
  
  Most critics have said Todd failed to use Gaga correctly in the movie and claimed she
  was only bought in for the musical aspect of it.
  
  While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À Deux
  didn't live up to expectations, others have dubbed the movie 'bold' and 'brilliant'.

  Joker: Folie à Deux premiered at the 81st Venice International Film Festival last month and was released in the United Kingdom and the United States on Friday. 
  
  The Daily Mail's Brian Viner commended the move as 'bold' and 'brilliant' but said it lacked any thrill.
  
  
  Giving the sequel a four star rating, he wrote: 'This film
  is audaciously different in style from the original, not as electrifying,
  but bold and brilliant all the same.
  
  'Arthur is now behind bars, waiting to see whether he will be
  judged sane enough to stand trial for murder, and in the meantime enjoying his celebrity status with fellow prisoners and even the warders, one of whom, a sadistic Irishman played
  by Brendan Gleeson, feeds him cigarettes in return for jokes.

  Joker: Folie a Deux is a punchline five years in the making, writes BRIAN VINER
  
  
  'Lady Gaga plays Lee, a fellow inmate on her way, we suppose, to becoming Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn.
  The pair hit it off at a music therapy class, and are soon mutually
  smitten, but Lee makes it clear that she loves the dangerously charismatic Joker, 'clown prince of crime', not the gloomily introspective Arthur.
  
  
  
  'Which is more real: the psychopath wearing the mask or
  the vulnerable fellow behind it? Either way, identity confusion is the theme of this film, which
  keeps being billed as a musical. 
  
  'It's not, really, although music looms large as an expression of
  Arthur and Lee's burgeoning love for one another. And there are a couple of swooning dance routines that make them look like psychotic versions of Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone
  in La La Land (2016).
  
  'For me, Joker was a near-masterpiece, and while this sequel doesn't
  scale those heady heights, it is still a gripping film about mental illness;
  not quite comparable with all-time greats such as Psycho
  (1960) and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975), but not too far off.'
