Batman Begins/ Dark Knight Blu Ray Box

Advantages: Great Films, Good Value for Blu Ray
Disadvantages: Still cheaper to buy normal DVD and the difference isnt that huge

...Nolans Excellent Screen Conversion of The Caped Crusader Both films are set in the dark and dirty city of Gotham, the stories follow Batman as he fights crime and generally saves the day. Batman Begins: This film basically sets the scene for the probable next few batman films, we see bruce waynes story from the murder of his parents... to overcoming personal demons and rising to become the batman. While stopping along the way to kick Scarecrow ...
...packing in his job as the Batman, theres a new politician in town... a Mr Harvey Dent,and he is doing a great job of cleaning up Gotham so why would Gotham need a Vigilante..... because the jokers in town thats why. I have to honestly say joking aside.... Heath Ledgers performance in this film is nothing short of AMAZING, he will make you walk around asking people " Why So Serious" Trust Me.... buy this film... just to see him in his final and finest ...

...him. in this batman film the joker is a bit more of a terrorist than a criminal, with blackmail and hostages. batman has a sort of Q from james bond and a new good guy Harvey who is a sort of polatictian who has a dark ending. Cast Dark Knights cast is absolutly outstanding, they may not be brad pitt, tom cruise and keria knightly (they're really famous) but it has actors that act just as well if not better. a special congrates to Heath Ledger ...

Review of The Dark Knight (Blu-ray)

The Dark Knight - A Super-hero movie without a hero

Advantages: Heath Ledger, great special effects, some excellent scenes
Disadvantages: Batman

...enough to see yourself become the villain" The release of "The Dark Knight" was greeted with something approximating mass-hysteria by the film-watching public due to the tragic circumstances surrounding the movie. For those who happened to be on another planet at the time, Heath Ledger, who plays arch-villain "The Joker", tragically died of an apparent overdose of prescribed drugs just before release. Ledger automatically gained Kurt Cobain/James ...
...the greatest actor ever to draw breath. Co-stars and fans alike queued up to pay homage. His performance as The Joker was no longer merely acting, it was a "legacy", instantaneously elevating it into the echelons of "best villain ever status". Immediately all the press releases and film trailers focussed on The Joker rather than the supposed star, Batman. Maybe this would have been the case anyway, but the cynical mind may wonder. In short, the Ledger ...

Review of Batman Begins (Blu-ray)

As So The Story Begins

Advantages: Good action, great effects, good storyline
Disadvantages: Batman's voice!

...curious to find out how Batman began and what made him want to be him. I am so glad that I did as I so enjoyed the film. As I said previously this was watched on the TV so this is a FILM ONLY REVIEW. At the start of the film we see a very young Bruce Wayne playing with his friend Rachael when he falls down a well and is attacked by bats. He suffers nightmares from this and when he is at the opera with his parents and there are bat like actors on ...
...was keen to know how Batman became what he did and I have to say that I was not disappointed in anyway. I think the only downside to the film for me was the role of Christian Bale as I did not like him playing the role in the Dark Knight either. He was great when he was playing Bruce Wayne and even when he put the Bat suit on but as soon as he opened his mouth as Batman it just went wrong! I loved how he managed to portray the hurt he was bottling ...
