Amazing, Awesome, Incredible...
Added 2/6/2010
This sequel, really puts Batman sideways and bring Joker to the big screen as it was his own movie not his arch enemy , as it was supposed to be. Allthougth the super-hero don't seams such a great thing, the movie itself totally surprises you in a great way.

THE REASON BLU-RAYS WERE INVENTED!!!
Added 2/5/2010
First of all, I won't sit here and write a review of "The Dark Knight" (like most people did). This review is strictly for the blu-ray disc. I just purchased a blu-ray player recently and this was one of the first discs I bought(I was one of the lucky few who caught it for a huge discount during lightning deal week). To say that "The Dark Knight" has a nice picture and sound would be the understatement of the year. The picture/sound quality on this blu-ray has to be seen to be believed,words do not give this movie justice, but I'll try. The lifelike picture quality is truly amazing. I swear there were a couple of times while watching "The Dark Knight" I felt like walking up to my television to make sure the characters were actually on the screen and not in my living room. I saw this movie three times in the theater and watching it on blu-ray was like watching it for the first time. "The Dark Knight" blu-ray disc picks up EVERYTHING-from the beads of sweat dripping from Harvey Dents face as he lies on the hospital bed to seeing Heath Ledger's Joker make-up literally dry up and crack right in front of you. "The Dark Knight" is a definite must have for anyone adding to or beginning their blu-ray library.

Best Batman movie yet!
Added 2/4/2010
This is one of the best Batman movies to come out of DC yet. Yes I think it had one of the best Jokers yet. Ledger was so good, that I did not even recognize him in the trailer. Bale is quite possibly the best Bruce/Batman ever on the big screen. He really pulls you into his character, and differentiates Batman with a growling almost feral demeanor. The writing was good enough that the movie did not have to depend on special effects. Why then the 4 stars? I think this was a horrible transfer to blu ray.
In the opening scene it is full screen, and after the robbery scene, we get the black bars at the top and bottom. This switches back and forth several times throughout the movie! And it is very annoying. I kept trying to play with my buttons on my remote to fix it, and to no avail. IMO, if you are going to show something in one format, stick with it throughout the movie!! Do not keep flipping back and forth. Yes the picture looks very sharp and crisp, but it drove me nuts when they kept switching the format in the movie. Sad thing is that this is not even Bale at his best though. For that you can watch the Machinist. It was done just before Batman Begins.

Fantastic movie marred by the shifting aspect ratio on the BD
Added 2/4/2010
My star rating is for the BluRay, not the film itself.
As much as I love this movie (and I do love this movie), I had to settle for the standard DVD version because of the sudden aspect ratio changes for the IMAX footage. I found this amazingly distracting and it constantly kept throwing me out of the movie. Hopefully someday they'll release another BluRay version that has the option to disable the IMAX ratio switch and I'll be able to upgrade, but until then I must make do with 480p when I watch this wonderful film. It's a shame, too, because other than the annoying ratio swapping the film looks amazing on BD.
