Format:DVD
I've given my rating for the actual film, again though, rather than review a film that's been reviewed to death already, I thought I should draw attention to the packaging issue. As mentioned by a couple of the other reviewers, this shipped in a standard jiffy bag, and as a result the card case arrived torn and damaged. Very disappointing, considering how easy it would have been to avoid.
Shame, because the actual 'Batmask' is fairly well made, sturdy, with a nice texture to the touch.

It is not often the case that the sequel is as good as, if not better than the original, but "The Dark Knight." is definitely a worthy successor to "Batman Begins". Words of warning though, pay attention to the certificate! Don't be one of those parents that let their eight-year-old watch this film and is then surprised that their child has nightmares. This is a very dark tale! Heath Ledger's well-deserved posthumous multiple awards, for his portrayal of The Joker, creates memorable and disturbing scenes, suggestive of deeply cruel violence; stealing every scene he is in. Christian Bale, as Batman, takes the story of our hero from triumph to tragedy; supported by excellent performances from Michael Cane and Morgan Freeman amongst others. But, of course, this is much more than intense drama. The special effects are stunning and the action will leave you breathless. The filmmakers have paid attention to every detail of the visuals and soundtrack to make this DVD worth watching many times over to pick up on everything that they achieved. If that is not enough for you, the second disk of features will probably give you all the information you could wish for about the making of the film. This two-disk release is well worth adding to your collection.

Christopher Nolan has given us what we always wanted, This icon of a movie blew me away, if you think it was too long, sorry, I disagree, I was hooked from opening to closing credits, Nolan continues his exploration and expansion of the batman character, and does so with devestatingly good effect, Heath Ledger (RIP) really gave his all for this and it is a crowning achievement for what would be his last full involvement in a movie.
The main point for me though was humanity( ferry scene) and how both citizen and criminal alike did not bow to the extreme pressure they were put under, and that they were willing to go the distance against the odds, so many lessons here for people to learn from.
Christian Bale's Batman also taking the brunt of what happens shows how Batman is capable of being the hero people want, whether or not it is good for his image, blah blah image!! he does it for the people of gotham,
On a final note stand up all involved with this film, and take a bow, you have earned it

All i want is a decent plot!!
The first batman was superb but this is just a poor action film. I just don't care about the characters. Jack Nicholson did a much better job.

THE JOKER
The most spine tingling performance of any baddie to hit the screens in recent years. Heath Ledger's Joker was a tour de force. For this alone it is worth the five stars. Read more
