I was wary of a gimmicky solo-film myself and the movie does have its warts but overall I thought it absolutely nailed what it was going for and was very enjoyable.
A good watch.
However, far be it for me to praise DC without a couple of pot-shots, you could have replaced the Joker with pretty much any mentally-ill person and achieved the same objective, but you'd have to build the world rather than rely on one thats already fairly well known and if the actor portraying the Joker was anything less than absolutely stellar the whole thing would have fallen apart.
It was a really good movie. Making it a 'Joker' movie was really just a very clever marketing tactic.
