Joker 2 fans are saying they will ‘never forgive’ Lady Gaga scenes being cut from film

Fans were furious at the scenes cut from the film

Joker 2 has been receiving mixed reactions, with many viewers furious at the creative decisions from the movie.

Whether it be the decision to make the movie a musical, to change up the vibe from the first one, or some of the film’s more controversial moments, people have not been happy.

Joker: Folie a Deux has bombed at the box office, making just $40 million (£30.6m) at the domestic box office.

This is more than three times lower than what the first film made, and a $120 million (£91.8m)international opening leaves the film well short of the $1 billion (£765m) the original earned.

One complaint in particular from fans however, is those who have realised that several Lady Gaga scenes shown in the trailers appear to have been cut from the film.

One fan posted: “I’ll never forgive them for cutting these scenes."

They then showed two shots from the trailers which didn’t make the final film, as well as a fan recording of a public set.

The public set showed Lee, Gaga’s version of Harley Quinn, kissing a random member of the public on her way into court to support Arthur (aka the Joker).

Another fan in the replies pointed to a scene in the trailers of Arthur and Lee dancing atop the court steps.

The fan who posted the original tweet replied saying: “Since this is going a little viral, I just want to say that Gaga was Amazing and this is in no way to discourage others from supporting our girl!

“I merely was just saddened that her parts were cut short. I still highly recommend the film”.

Another replied saying: “I agree. She is amazing in the film and the exclusion of the aforementioned scenes merely cut her time short but nonetheless it was still great.

“Sad tho we didn’t see her full transition. There was so much potential there."

The film has been released to an incredibly poor critical and fan reaction, making it one of the worst box office bombs of the year.

While the film initially had mixed (if positive) reviews at the festivals before its public release, it has since dropped to a whopping 33 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The fan score is even lower, at 31 percent.

Dylan Roth of the Observer said in their one-star review of the film:

“Joker: Folie à Deux is a product of wild, aimless ambition, the sort of mad swing that would be laudable if it weren’t so absolutely awful.

“It falls flat as a musical, as a courtroom drama, as a romance and as a character piece.”
