I was never really into Batman, but I loved this movie. I actually think that it was the villain, the Joker, that made me fall in love with it. He is just so evil that people have to love him. I found that Batman was kind of dark and not as cool as I was hoping him to be. I was disappointed with the ending of the movie, I will not say what it is so not to ruin it. But I wished it was a happy one. I think it hindered the movie. But the Joker saved the whole thing in my opinion. The whole thing is just a cat and mouse chase that's suspenseful.

The imax scenes take up the entire screen. The quality is impeccable. This is definitely a movie you would want if you're trying to show off your home theater or HD television.

I'm going to simplify things in my review. The cast and script has already recieved plenty of praise, so I'll spare you the repetition, because I agree with those two factors. I wasn't sure Heath Ledger would be able to surpass Jack Nicholson's Joker, but he was as good if not better-than Jack. Gary Oldman usually plays an archvillian-remember Air Force One?) but he's very good as James Gordon. Christopher Nolan directs superbly, and the pacing never slows down, Batman Begins was very well done as well, but this film even blows that clear out of the water.
Tim Burton did a good job with what he had to work with-but his version was just too silly, Joel Schumacher tried to make it too campy and serious at the same time, it didn't work.
Christoper/Jonathan Nolan and surprisingly David S. Goyer took the franchise and didn't do anything wrong, in my opinion.
Christian Bale has recieved some unfair judgments in my opinion as Batman, esp. with his voice, my attitude to that is he was trying to disguise it, lighten up!

This is one of my favorite movies. The acting in The Dark Knight is magnificent. Christian Bale plays the best Batman next to Adam West and Michael Keaton (and he was definitely the best choice for the "dark knight" batman). But as good as Bale is, he doesn't compare to the scary good role Heath Ledger plays as the Joker.
When I first heard that The Dark Knight was going to reprise the role of the Joker, I was a bit upset. In my mind, no one could top the wonderful job that Jack Nicholson did in the original Batman. However after seeing the movie, I quickly changed my mind and gained a whole new respect for Ledger as an actor. The two Jokers are quite different (as are the Batmans).
The movie itself is great. It's entertaining and will have you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. I was never a big Batman fan growing up, but this movie makes the dark knight seem so much cooler than I remember him being. The blu-ray disc itself is typical, and nothing special.

Im sure you've seen the movie at this point. This movie is the reason you bought a blu ray player. If you have blu ray and a home theatre this is a must own.
