Editorial Review:
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

The Dark Knight
2009-12-05 - This movie is awesome, it was a great price and the seller shipped it super fast!

Watch this on a really Dark Night..
2009-12-04 - Very exciting and well thought out storyline and cast in this next story of the caped crusader... Although one has to ask why did they cast Maggie Gyllenhaal as Rachel? Although I loved her and Will Farrell in Stranger than Fiction.. she was edgy and sarcastic... and paired with Farrell worked well... this is just like Superman the original movie casting Christopher Reeve with Margot Kidder as Lois Lane... Probably the biggest upset to date on Superhero pairing...lol.. Come on guys these guys deserve the Hottest girl alive... but loved the movie..


Wow !!!
2009-12-02 - The Dark Knight (+ BD Live) [Blu-ray] I'm blown away with the quality of The Dark Night. I like to watch the extra features on movies. The director Christopher Nolan shot this on IMAX film that exceeds the quality of all other movies. The picture is so crisp and clear. My own eyesight isn't that sharp. The make-up is so real looking. Especially on Harvey Dent after an explosion. One of the reasons I bought this film was for the visual affects and stunts. I certainly am amazed.
The Dark Knight is full of action, romance and suspense. Never a dull moment! It's a battle of good versus evil and heroism. Having the courage and character to take the fall for someone else to serve a bigger purpose. The Joker is certainly an evil character, and Heath Ledger did an outstanding job playing him. I wish he was able to see how many people loved the movie.
The Dark Knight exceeded my expectations beyond what I thought was possible.
