The 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

great movie! January 10, 2009
I purchased this dvd for my 17yr. old son for Christmas. He loves the movie and so does everyone else in the family. It arrived in plenty of time and in perfect condition. It included the bonus disk also. Very happy with this purchase!

Dark, complex and entertaining January 10, 2009
One of my personal favorite movies of the year. Some people who enjoyed Iron Man may also enjoy this film. This takes a more serious look at Bruce Wayne and the reality of being a superhero or not. I highly recommend this film on bluray. The special effects pop off the screen and since it was also shot in imax film, the longshots of buildings and skylines are gorgeous in HD.

The Dark Knight January 9, 2009
The Dark Knight is a crime drama better than Batman Begins. It is gripping and holds you to the very end. Cristian Bale is a very good actor who plays Batman in this movie and the Joker portrayed by Heath Ledger is mesmarizing. I liked the battle going on for the city and Batman's quest to rid the city of corruption. Joker was humanizing he portrayed the darkside in all of us. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wants to be entertained and left wanting more. Thank you.

Jamuny January 9, 2009
I finally watched this video the other night. It starts out very slow but then takes off with a 'shot'. It is a very 'dark' movie as all have said before me, but not it's too awfully dark emotionally as I had anticipated. It is shot in a dark cinema mode for affect. I liked the movie, though, I could not help thinking about the demise of Heath Ledger and was overcome with thoughts of his daughter who will never know him.
His perfomance was good! Christian Bale and Gary Oldman, who have been overlooked, also gave good perfomances for this genre,but due to the controversy surrounding Mr. Ledger's death they have been overlooked, but that's just my opinion.
I pray for Mr. Ledger'sfamily. I also pray that in time his last performance as an actor will not be over shadowed by his death.
This is a definate See It!
