The Dark Knight returns
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by Timbo3107

Advantages: Still to the high standards of the first film
Disadvantages: 152 minutes in length!

...mind Batman Begins was probably the first superhero film since Superman The Movie that had its feet firmly placed o the ground in terms of story telling and plot. The long awaited sequel is about to be released and this for some is what the fans have been waiting for, that is the return of The Joker. Just watching this film and the fact there is a sequel to Batman Begins is a bonus on its own. People though that this would never get off the ground ... Read review

Welcome To A World Without Rules!
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by DixieChick10

Advantages: Great cast, script, action etc.
Disadvantages: Too long and poorly rated.

...a lot of people in the world Heath Ledger died of an accidental OD. However he did manage to act in two films before his death, one he never completed and the other was probably one of his best pieces of work, ever. His role in the Dark Knight is nothing like you would expect, he doesn't make you swoon ladies like he does in his other films, he doesn't just seem to be there for eye candy. He was always a good actor, I agree, but it's a shame his ... Read review

The Darker Knight
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by sghawken

Advantages: Chilling to the core
Disadvantages: Some underused characters

...first hit cinema screens across the globe, and now as I write this The Dark Knight takes the story on a seamless transition from one movie to the other. 2008's most anticipated movie would have been a blockbuster hit alone, but the death of one of the co-stars Heath Ledger an icon of our time solidified its place in history; when The Dark Knight opened a week ago in America it smashed box office record by achieving a whooping turnover of 67 million ...

The Best Batman Yet
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by Mcicp1981

Advantages: Fantastic performances by Ledger, Eckhart, Bale, Freeman, Oldman, Caine
Disadvantages: None

The Dark Knight is the latest Batman film to hit our screens, involving Batman's fight to save Gotham city from the Joker's crime wave, whilst also trying as Bruce Wayne to push Harvey Dent as the cities new major and finally be able to hang up his bat suit, and Dents eventual moral conflicts. Bale is a excellent Batman and Bruce Wayne, playing both characters to almost perfection, although my gripe with his Batman is the strange gruff voice he ... Read review

The Dark Knight: a mesmering superhero masterpiece...
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by asdasta632

Advantages: Superb performances, amazing script and scintilating direction...
Disadvantages: Perhaps too long for some...

...Thanks! The Dark Knight is certainly the most hyped film of 2008 – regardless of typical summer blockbuster buzz, Christopher Nolan’s sequel to the superb 2005 Batman Begins has garnered both critical and audience acclaim, even managing to sweep the #1 spot on IMDB’s Top 250 for the time being (although many question whether such is simply a gauge of timely popularity rather than traditional film quality). Is The Dark Knight the best film ever ... Read review

...yet another crime wave at the hands of the mafia and the Joker, who are intent to turn Gotham into a free-for-all for criminals. New District Attorney, Harvey Dent, is determined to get to the bottom of matters, along with James Gordon and Bruce Wayne, who leads a double life as Batman.

WHY SO SERIOUS?
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by nathaninnit

Advantages: It may take a while to sink in, but the movie was almost faultless
Disadvantages: Last 5 minutes

...reviews of superhero movies with the clarification that if you're not actually a huge comic book reader, you probably don't really know that much about the characters. Otherwise you're likely to cause offence to those who are comic book readers, and judge the movies for not being relevant or true to the way the story is supposed to pan out. Unfortunately, I'm not the right person to ask if you want to know anything along the lines of what happened ... Read review

Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by bonsi6337

Advantages: Bale and Ledger make a world class team
Disadvantages: None

...I saw American Psycho and the Machinist. One day I will get round to reviewing those films. But tonight hubby and I managed to watch this newest of the Batman chronicles and I have to say that it was certainly not what I expected. And so on to the review ... ***Synopsis*** Batman is alive and well and fighting crime and injustice in Gotham City. But he is hampered by vigilante groups who idolise him and aspire to be him. He is hampered by ... Read review

Now THAT is how to bow out in style!
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by pmcds

Advantages: Great cast and crew, high budget used effectively
Disadvantages: A little long, Bale's gruff Batman voice

For the past year or so, Hollywood hype has been about one major thing: the latest Batman film, and in particular Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker and his sad death. In all fairness, so many people have been praising this film since even before it came out, and the reviews have been so consistently positive, that it is not so much a case of if this is a good film or not, it's more a question of just how good it really is. I was curious to see ... Read review

Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by sewbizzie

Advantages: Great acting, good special effects
Disadvantages: Very over hyped

...it lived up to all the hype which it received. The story is about Batman helping the police to get the mob arrested and get them off the streets. The mob know that the police are closing in on them so they send their money away with a Chinese man for safety. The Joker decides to make a trip to the mob to see if they will join him in the taking down of Batman and taking back control of the streets and the mob. The mob are not happy with the ...

Having established himself as the protector of Gotham City, Batman sets out with the help of the District Attorney Harvey Dent and Police Lieutenant Jim Gordon to bring down the largest Criminal organisations.

The Joker demands that Batman unmask himself and sets off on a killing spree to try and ensure it happens. The real question for the ... Read review

The crime lords are more scared than they have ever been before and the burden on Batman is steadily lessening. But can Bruce Wayne start a relationship with his sweetheart Rachel Dawes, who admitted her love for him but inability to be with the masked crusader.

The Darkest Knight
Review of The Dark Knight (DVD) by danmclovin

Advantages: Brilliant in every way!
Disadvantages: Not for the squeamish or young children!

Having loved the first film, Batman Begins, I was very eager to see The Dark Knight, and even more so after seeing the trailers and the reviews that it received. I waited until the initial frenzy of the opening few weeks had died down a bit, and eventually went to see it recently. The Dark Knight is set shortly after Batman Begins. Batman (Christian Bale), Detective Gordon (Gary Oldman) and District Attorney Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) have successfully ... Read review

He has some help from some Gotham detectives, but nobody really knows who they can trust. *****Opinion***** As I said above, I had heard a lot of good things about 'The Dark Knight', so it had a lot to live up to. And it did live up to my expectations, although in my opinion Transformers was better. However, there was something that I can't quite put my finger on that makes this Batman different from the ...
