This is one of the best movies available for the Blu Ray format. The sound is excellent, and the picture is oh, so sweet. Heath Ledger gives the performance of a lifetime, and unfortunately it would be his last. The re-imagining of Batman by Christopher Nolan is one of the best things, if not THE best, ever to happen to the bat. If you have not seen this movie, do not hesitate! Buy it now! You won't regret it.
Love this movie! Even with shipping this deal was still cheaper than what we would have paid anywhere else.
Would buy again!
The Dark Knight is definitely not for small children, but grownups who enjoy Batman and appreciate a different dark moody feel. For some reason Robin was not in the movie, but a lonely lovelorn Batman beset by tragedy.
Batman (Christian Bale), upsets the Gotham City Mob. There is also a new D.A., HaRvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), with blond hair and blue eyes and idealistic view on fighting crime.
The Joker (Heath Ledger) appears and wants the Gotham City criminals to work with him and kill Batman. Ledger does a fantastic performance as the Joker and provides some wry jokes as he devils his victims. However, he is also frightening and hard to catch - one step in front of the Police. Maggie Gyllenhaal plays the role of Rachel Dawes and Dent and Batman both love her. There are plenty of action sequences and the special effects - especially Dent's face after an accident - are well done. The film is dark but the artistic sets and cinema is excellent.
This item was exactly as described, and was received right on time. Would definitely order again from this seller.
I agree with the other reviewer after seeing the second disc myself. The features are a joke. Mind numbingly boring, in fact. This is a much better movie than Batman Begins and I much prefer the recast of Rachel but ultimately, it's just an okay movie. The look of the film is very dark and serious and adult but the storytelling is actually simple and somewhat light. I certainly don't feel that Rachel's character is that important to Bruce Wayne. I did like Michael Caine's lines especially when he first meets Harvey Dent, "Not yet" indeed. I definitely endorse getting the widescreen version of this film.
