Honestly I only saw a few things about the joker movie. We stream all of our tv and do not watch a lot of content with advertisements. From what we saw I never had the impression it was a musical.
I've just got back from the cinema, and I quite liked the film, though it probably doesn't need to be seen on the big screen. I've no idea how it cost $200 million to make. It's hard to argue that the money is all up there on the screen, as it is mostly a prison/courtroom drama. The musical numbers actually do have an in-story justification. Arthur and Harley first meet at a singing group for inmates at Arkham Asylum, and then later they take on a hallucinatory quality, representing Arthur's increasing detachment from reality. It reminded me of the way Dennis Potter used music in The Singing Detective.

Wicked did great numbers , oddly the family was more excited about Moana , but wicked was the second choice . They may ride out the season in a great spot
Took the kids to see Sonic. It was decent enough. Sufficient content for adults, fun for the kids. I don't need to see it again, but it was worth being with them for it.

I was surprised there was a third and I’d more or less agree on you summation . Kids loved it and it was fun being our nieces and nephews
