The story is very exciting and there is neither a dull moment in this very long film. The various twists and turns in the plot will make you want to carry on watching. The action scenes are very good and the special effects and the picture quality on the Blu-ray disk are amazing.
The acting is brilliant as well, in particular Heath Ledger who acts as a very creepy and cold version of the Joker. His performance is brilliant and was always going to be talked about more because of his circumstances. Bale does a good job but when he is in his batman disguise his voice is very annoying, probably more the person who was in charge of the audio effects more than his.
As I said before the picture quality is amazing and it makes this well worth getting on Blu-ray rather than on DVD. It really does feel like you are almost there even in the darkest of scenes.
The film however is very long but I don`t feel it went on for too long as I wanted to carry on watching for every minute of it.
Overall the Dark Knight is a really good movie which will probably be remembered for Heath Ledger`s creepy and eerie Joker. The film is rated a 12 but probably should be rated at least a 15 as the film is quite dark. The film also includes some extras but these are not particularly spectacular and some are not in high definition which is a bit bad!
Some of the special features on the Blu ray including how parts of the movie were made and shot, episodes of Gotham tonight and you even get a digital copy of the film to put on your laptop e.t.c! The Dark Knight on Blu-ray only costs £14.98 from Amazon, so buy it now!
Advantages: Picture, sound, story, characters, cast etc etc etc Disadvantages: changes from full to wide screen Ion my ps3 dunno about actual blue ray player
== The Dark Knight == == Introductiosn == Dark Knight is the second serious film to the batman series. the first being batman begins and i must say, Dark Knight destroys batman begins in every way, better story, characters, cast etc. in this review, ill cover everything to try and get you to get this film, on blue ray of dvd. == Story == Dark Knight has so many twists and turns it unbelievable. its also full with action, romance, thrills and a few ... ...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 ...

Advantages: outstanding quality, excellent acting, brilliant effects Disadvantages: goes on a little too long, story is straight and bland
The Dark Knight is a superhero film based upon DC comics character Batman. The film was released on July 16, 2008 in Australia, on July 18, 2008 and on July 24, 2008 in UK. It was highly appreciated and was the second film to earn more than $500 Million in North American box office and the fourth film $1 billion from worldwide box office. It tells the story of Bruce Wayne/Batman (Christian Bale) on his quest to subdue The Joker (Heath Ledger), a ... ...batman saga. The Joker robs a bank with his accomplices and then tricks all his comrades into killing each other. Along with the district attorney Harvey Dent and his date Rachel Dawes and a lot of action Batman ultimately contains The Joker. This is the sequel to the Batman Begins which marks the beginning of Batman saga. It is not typically a kid’s movie, and with high adrenaline bursts and intense action it is sure to appeal all sort of audiences. ...

Reviews which might be of interest for "The Dark Knight (Blu-ray)"
Advantages: Great Films, Good Value for Blu Ray Disadvantages: Still cheaper to buy normal DVD and the difference isnt that huge
BATMAN: One To Buy ..... BUT
Christopher 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 butt.
DarkKnight: This time the caped crusader is feeling like 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 ...
Batman squares off against a new, completely psychotic foe: the Joker. However, the Dark Knight finds himself fighting a battle on two fronts when he learns that a prominent political figure named Harvey Dent is concealing a dastardly alter-ego known as Two Face.

Review
THE DARK KNIGHT is pure adrenaline. Returning director Christopher Nolan, having dispensed with his introspective, moody origin story, now puts the Caped Crusader through a decathlon of explosions, vehicle flips, hand-to-hand combat, midair rescues and pulse-pounding suspense (Hollywood Reporter, 30/10/2008)
Heads up: a thunderbolt is about to rip into the blanket of bland we call summer movies. THE DARK KNIGHT, director Christopher Nolan's absolute stunner of a follow-up to 2005's BATMAN BEGINS, is a potent provocation decked out as a comic-book movie. Feverish action? Check. Dazzling spectacle? Check. Devilish fun? Check. But Nolan is just warming up. There's something raw and elemental at work in this artfully imagined universe (Rolling Stone, 30/10/2008)
An ambitious, full-bodied crime epic of gratifying scope and moral complexity, this is seriously brainy pop entertainment that satisfies every expectation raised by its hit predecessor and then some (Variety, 30/10/2008)
DVD Description
Director Christopher Nolan (MEMENTO, THE PRESTIGE) returns to Gotham City with this sequel to the critically-acclaimed fan favourite, BATMAN BEGINS. In THE DARK KNIGHT, Batman (Christian Bale – RESCUE DAWN, AMERICAN PSYCHO) squares off against a new, completely psychotic foe: the Joker (Heath Ledger – BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, A KNIGHT'S TALE). However, the Dark Knight finds himself fighting a battle on two fronts when he learns that a prominent political figure named Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart – IN THE COMPANY OF MEN, ERIN BROCKOVICH) is concealing a dastardly alter-ego known as Two Face.
