Love the movie, but the special features........
Added 3/17/2010
This isn't a movie review and that's why the grade. I LOVE this movie beginign to end, but the special features are awfully boring and simplistic that doesn't worth your or my money.
There is absolutely nothing cool about them. No enterviews, no featuretes, no deleted scenes, no comic book comparations, no special effect documentary, no make up documentary, no nothing.
The movie is awesome, bu the product doesn't worth the effort. I lost my money in this, so I suggest for you to save it and get the ultimate cut or new edition of the blue ray version to get some good extras.
Terrible...

for me,it doesn't even touch Batman Begins (2.5/5)
Added 3/17/2010
i loved the previous Batman film,Batman Begins.i thought it was brilliant,possibly the best superhero movie ever made.and with the stratospheric hype this film had,combined with the trailers i had seen,i knew i had to see it.many people commented that it more than lived up to the hype,so i expected something earth shattering.to say i was disappointed is an understatement.there were moments where i was bored,and hoped it would end soon.Batman's voice in this movie annoyed me.it sounded like he had swallowed a bucket of gravel.either that,or had a bad case of laryngitis.maybe there was a reason behind this.but all it did was annoy me.as for Heath Ledger,and his performance as The Joker,i found it OK,but i wouldn't say it was award worthy.and i mean no disrespect by this.when the movie finally ended,neither the character of The Joker,or any aspect of the movie stayed with me.bottom line,i didn't find anything profound in this movie.i was massively disappointed.it doesn't even touch Batman Begins,in my opinion.for me,The Dark Knight is a 2.5/5

5 stars for film... 3 stars for extras

I loved The Dark Knight when I saw it in the theater back in the summer of 08 - it was one of my favorite movies of the year. Despite that fact, this was no exception to my recent difficulty calmly sitting through a movie I've seen before (because there's so much else out there I need to be watching!), but that's just me. The real reason I bought this Blu-Ray was for some excellent special features chronicling the making of this triumphant summer blockbuster, and what I got was a bit underwhelming. The two slick documentaries about Batman technology and psychology were neat but lacked much input from the film's creators, just a lot of "experts" and third parties jabbing about Batman-ish subjects. Other than that, there's really just a series of short web documentaries, featuring feedback from Nolan and the rest of the crew, even if the story is largely told in still images. I realize the special features I wanted (something on par with Star Trek or Iron Man) requires lots of extra effort (an extra film crew essentially to see everything go down) and maybe the filmmakers were respecting the late Ledger in not showing day to day behind the scenes footage fearing it would be too unsettling, but I kind of was hoping to be unsettled. What I got was just... meh.

Believe the hype :)

Im not going to try to outdo the sea of reviews that precede me I will just simply say that this is an awesome movie that is worth every penny you spend on it.
Even if you dont like or care about the Batman franchise you are still bound to like this action packed movie. From the plot to the action scenes this film is an all around package.
