DVD Reviews of The Dark Knight (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
DVD Review: TERRIBLE WASTE OF TIME!
Summary: 1 Stars
This awful movie is cliche ridden and contrived like any other adventure movie and so much so that I only watched the 1st 40 minutes: It has camera angles that are dizzily swirling around and music that is over exaggerated at tense moments. The 1st Batman Begins movie was way better. Don't waste your time with this dog! DVD Review: A Great Batman!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Dark story line, continuing the "serious" Batman venue. Stellar job by Heath Ledger. Leaves me wanting the 3rd installment ASAP.DVD Review: Heath Ledger great!
Summary: 5 Stars
This actor was so gifted and special, to bad he is not with us anymore.DVD Review: Yeah but...
Summary: 4 Stars
Virtually everyone who's opinion I usually can trust just loved this movie last summer, but I couldn't get interested enough to go see it. However, when the Dark Knight came out on DVD, I bought it the day it came out and still... I never watched it until this week.
So... I watched it and it was good, but I found it so dark and brooding that for me, it less than pleasant even while being amazed at the visual experience, and awed by some of the performances.
So, if you are a Batman fan you will love it, if not...
Description of The Dark Knight (Two-Disc Special Edition + Digital Copy)
Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 12/09/2008 Run time: 151 minutes Rating: Pg13The Dark Knight arrives with tremendous hype (best superhero movie ever? posthumous Oscar for Heath Ledger?), and incredibly, it lives up to all of it. But calling it the best superhero movie ever seems like faint praise, since part of what makes the movie great--in addition to pitch-perfect casting, outstanding writing, and a compelling vision--is that it bypasses the normal fantasy element of the superhero genre and makes it all terrifyingly real. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is Gotham City's new district attorney, charged with cleaning up the crime rings that have paralyzed the city. He enters an uneasy alliance with the young police lieutenant, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Batman (Christian Bale), the caped vigilante who seems to trust only Gordon--and whom only Gordon seems to trust. They make progress until a psychotic and deadly new player enters the game: the Joker (Heath Ledger), who offers the crime bosses a solution--kill the Batman. Further complicating matters is that Dent is now dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, after Katie Holmes turned down the chance to reprise her role), the longtime love of Batman's alter ego, Bruce Wayne.
In his last completed role before his tragic death, Ledger is fantastic as the Joker, a volcanic, truly frightening force of evil. And he sets the tone of the movie: the world is a dark, dangerous place where there are no easy choices. Eckhart and Oldman also shine, but as good as Bale is, his character turns out rather bland in comparison (not uncommon for heroes facing more colorful villains). Director-cowriter Christopher Nolan (Memento) follows his critically acclaimed Batman Begins with an even better sequel that sets itself apart from notable superhero movies like Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man because of its sheer emotional impact and striking sense of realism--there are no suspension-of-disbelief superpowers here. At 152 minutes, it's a shade too long, and it's much too intense for kids. But for most movie fans--and not just superhero fans--The Dark Knight is a film for the ages. --David Horiuchi
On the DVD
Unlike the Blu-ray disc, The Dark Knight on DVD is completely in 2.40:1 aspect ratio. You can, however, watch the six IMAX scenes separately. Also on disc 2 are "Gotham Uncovered: The Creation of a Scene," which is behind-the-scenes footage about the Bat suit, the Bat pod, and the music; eight-minute segments of Gotham Central, a faux-news program that gives some background to events in the movie; plus a variety of trailers, poster art, and more. Last, there's a digital copy of the film compatible with iTunes and Windows Media (download expires 12/9/09). --David Horiuchi
