Amazon.co.uk 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 paralysed 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/co-writer 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 Horiuch

DVD Description

Be the envy of your friends or make someone's day with this Dark Knight Batmask two disc box set, exclusive to Amazon.co.uk.

Director Christopher Nolan (The Prestige) returns to Gotham City with this sequel to the critically-acclaimed fan favourite, Batman Begins.

In The Dark Knight, Batman raises the stakes in his war on crime. With the help of Lieutenant Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman, The Fifth Element) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart, No Reservations), Batman sets out to dismantle the remaining criminal organisations that plague the city streets. The partnership proves to be effective, but they soon find themselves prey to a reign of chaos unleashed by a rising criminal psychotic mastermind known to the terrified citizens of Gotham as the Joker (Heath Ledger, Brokeback Mountain). What ensues will blow your mind away. From its release on the big screen The Dark Knight has fast become one of the biggest grossing films world-wide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beware Packaging, 11 Dec 2008
By Steven Pawinski "ferox8" (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, 13 Oct 2008
By Vlad the Impaler (barnstaple, devon United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Intense, visually stunning, compelling!! This film will just simply blow away any preconceptions you may have of other Batman, indeed other super-hero films. It's as much a crime drama as well as a super-hero film and has a very layered story-line concerning the various crime syndicates and how they're reacting to Batman's arrival (Batman Begins). Then The Joker arrives...

Much has been said about Heath Ledger after his tragic death and in regards to this film, but words alone cannot describe the power of his performance. It surely must rank as one of the most creepy, evil and hilariously funny performances of all time!!

When I first saw this film, I have to admit I had mixed feelings about how things resolve themselves (without giving too much away) but when I saw it the second time and, understanding a bit more about the Batman character and his evolution into Gotham's protector, it made a great deal more sense and was ultimately much more satisfying.

This film will leave a lasting impression on you long after the credits have rolled. A cliche I know but a truly heartfelt one, because this is simply an excellent film!!

1.0 out of 5 stars Amazon Fails On DVD packaging, 9 Sep 2009
By Mr. T. Tinsley (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I ordered this boxset from Amazon last year after purchasing a similar Ironman one from HMV, and although arriving promptly it was packed in just a jiffy bag and the fragile card/acrylic box was badly damaged after being crushed in transit. Ditto the replacement, at which point I contacted Amazon to request that additional packaging would avoid such transit damage.

I was told that the Jersey warehouse controlled the packing/shipping and they do not have a number members of the public can use to contact them! End of story, and no Batman limited DVD.

I received a similarly crushed House Season 4 box recently, but can't be bothered to request a replacement knowing that in all likelihood it will be just the same.

In general Amazon pack orders very well, but the DVD side of things is a completely different scenario, and I would think twice before ordering limited/boxset DVD's from Amazon unless you don't mind receiving transit damaged stuff.

Trevor.
