Absolutely beautiful. Well worth watching.

Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2018

Spectacular. Absolutely beautiful. Cinematically, this movie is one of the best ever made. Story wise - it both tells the story of a superhero and a crime-ridden city with corrupt people, a love triangle and a tragedy, the corruption of good ("you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain"), but also the goodness of humanity that overrides even our desire for survival.

There's nothing about this movie not to like. The returning and new actors are incredible - Heath Ledger as the Joker will make you crazy, but just enough so you can keep watching. Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent will leave you wondering, and his character is developed just enough to make his arc perfect - to keep you wondering but not shocked.

Bottom line: whether you're into superheroes or not, DC Comics or Marvel, whether you've watched every Batman movie and read every comic or haven't seen a single one, this movie is well worth watching. You're probably better off watching Batman Begins first (that is incredible as well) but I don't think it's necessary. You'll just find some of the information new, which is always fantastic.

And BTW, no pressure to watch The Dark Knight Rises after this. It's not a bad film but it kind of disappoints. See my review here: https://www.amazon.com/review/R3TKBV8CSCXFOE/ref=cm_cr_srp_d_rdp_perm?ie=UTF8

The best movie of all time.

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2018

Just amazing. Without a doubt the best movie of all time. I've never felt so much anxiety during scenes like the Decision on the Boat or the Couple in Distress scene. And I have never seen such an immediate and well written start to a movie in my life. Soundtrack is flawless thanks to Hans Zimmer's expertise supervision. And holy crap Batman, Joker, and Harvey Dent have some of the best acting I've seen in a looooong time. Good job by Christian Bale and his master piece of a superhero movie. (thank god Joker wasn't like the one from 89 and actually has really dark undertones). 10/10, flawless movie.

Now this.. is a beautiful movie! (4K Review)

Reviewed in the United States on December 19, 2017

The Dark Knight was the second of the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy (Batman Begins/Dark Knight/Dark Knight Rises) - this review will be focusing on the 4K Upgrade rather than the movie itself.

This was always a good looking movie.. but the 4K remaster makes it so much better. Of all discs I've tried, this has to be one of the best. It alternates between the film footage and IMAX footage which just pops off the screen. Grain is pretty minimal, colors and everything are great, but it does look like they raised the shadow detail as the darkest blacks were never quite black (even on an OLED TV). But everything else popped off the screen, especially with the HDR. Highly recommended upgrade.

On the audio side we're also looking at DTS-HD MA 5.1 audio (no Dolby Atmos) but it's a good track still.

The disc comes with a nice slipcover, the 4K Disc and a Blu-Ray + Special Features as well as a digital copy code. You can also pick this up in the Dark Knight Trilogy which has the same content (but no slipcover) or in the Christopher Nolan 4K Collection (which uses a bulky case to house all 7 Christopher Nolan movies and has no digital copy codes)

No Digital Code included

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2019

The film itself is great. Classic. Glad to have the 4K disc. 3 stars because it does not come with a digital code, even though many reviewers here said their copy DID come with a code, and some even posted photos of the sleeve that says a code is included. Mine had no sleeve, and no code inside. Disappointing because I like to have the digital version for certain situations. Don't buy if you are hoping to get disc + digital.

Felt like a was in an IMAX Theater. Unbelievable movie unbelievable quality.

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2018

This is one of the best if not the best 4K quality movie I've ever seen. First of all, all the IMAX scenes you get the full detail and full picture. None of those black bars. Second, the quality of this is beyond that of the Blu Ray version. The Hong Kong scenes were off the charts, and the night dark scenes were crisp and great with no washed out. Of course it helps to watch this movie with an OLED TV which I have. The only problem I had was, it doesn't have Dolby Atmos surround sound. Just DTS 5.1. The HDR was great on this movie as well

Arguably The Greatest Movie Of All Time

Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2018

Verified Purchase

This movie has been my absolute favorite for years. It's so much more than a superhero movie; it's an exploration of the human criminal psyche. Heath Ledger is easily the greatest joker of all time, and possibly the greatest movie villain. The music, cinematography, and plot line are all ingenious. There's an entire video on YouTube breaking down the precisely formulated camera movement within the Batman/Joker interrogation scene and what it means in the context of the film as a whole. There's just so much detail. I could say so many good things about this movie. Just watch it.

I Came for Batman, I Stayed for Heath

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 9, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm really not the biggest fan of Christian Bale at all but he does a great job of becoming his character enough in the film that you forget he is him and just see him for the character he's portraying instead, which he does a great job with. Without argument though, Heath Ledger steals the entire film with his darkly mesmerising portrayal of a genuinely unnerving Joker - the only Joker in any Batman realisation I've ever found genuinely scary (or anything at all other than silly or funny with the previous versions). And this darkness is one of the pillars that makes Nolans Gotham in this film so great - it's dark, gritty and murky and feels heavy and undefined as both good and bad forces try to manipulate the city and her people for better or worse to follow the right truth - there is genuine tension in the film and both Ledger and Bale along with their support cast all handle it extremely well with great realism. Still one of the best Batman films to date, for sure!

Kurz und knapp einer der besten Filme überhaupt. Ich kann nicht sagen das ich ein Comicfan bin und habe die früheren Batman Filme nicht gemocht. Was hier aber Christopher Nolan abliefert ist ein Meisterwerk auf ganzer Linie. Grandiose Schauspieler, Grandioses Drehbuch und legendärer Soundtrack. Mittlerweile habe ich den Film sicher über 20 mal gesehen. Auch jetzt gibt es noch Gänsehautmomente. Für mich definitiv eines der größten Meisterwerke ever.

The Dark Knight (Two Disc Special Edition).

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

The second film in the trilogy with the much praised performance by Heath Ledger as the Joker; it also sees the appearance of Harvey Dent/Two-Face – another of Batman`s many adversaries.
Beautifully filmed using IMAX it's a visually thrilling effort with a fair number of set-piece action scenes; the central performance is without doubt that of Ledger, who brings a real psychotic edge to the Joker character.
The film is, though a bit over-long for my tastes and how well it works as a stand alone film is difficult to determine – it certainly ends with the suggestion of unfinished business – see what you think.
The UK 2-disc DVD edition presents the film on disc 1 with no extras (subtitles are available as shown) disc 2 contains a selection of short but interesting featurettes on the making of the film and a series of the fictional Gotham Cable News bulletins.
Photo galleries of concept art, posters and production stills complete the extras disc.
4 ½ stars.

Amazing film, just buy it

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2020

Meant to see this when it came out, never got round to it, meant to buy the DVD when it first came out, never got round to it, have now bought and it was worth the very very very long wait (a wait entirely due to my own incompetence I hasten to add and not a slow delivery; it was dispatched with admirable speed!) This is a great film, if you are the one person who is less organised than me and has not yet seen it, buy it now.

The Dark Night (2 Discs) DVD (2008)/Bale/Leger/Eckhart

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 21, 2011

Batman definiteley goes 21st Century without Robin. His alter Ego Bruce Wayne is a cool Multi millionaire featured on his Yatch with a Martini. Christian Bale is well cast in this role with similarities to 007. Alfred his ever faithfull Butler and confidante is portrayed with great pleasure by Michael Caine, with his extenuated Cockney accent. The Manor has become a huge complex with enormous empty vaults, but there is still some of that Retro camp, and Gotham City flashes the old Bat Symbol light to summon their defender in an otherwise age of advanced technology.
Maggie Gyllenhaal is superb as Rachel Dawes, an admirer and political journalist, but one of the most striking aspects is Aaron Eckhart in the uncharacteristic role of a hardnosed good guy Senator Dent, who is horrifically burnt, and plays the final scenes with half of his face without skin, showing sinew and bones. There are a few character twists which give the film dramatic credibility, and Batman becomes anti-hero as the Dark Night is accused of betrayal.
We are never told how, in a world of such corruption and international deception, Bruce Wayne is the only one to make a fortune entirely honestly, but here he meets his match in the form of the psychopathic Joker, played by Heath Ledger. His twisted humour ranges from stealing enough money to fill a wharehouse, and burning a fellow con-man on top of it, to giving two ferry ships the choice of sacrificing themselves, or blowing up the other. One is full of so called decent Citizens, and the other full of Criminals. Which group will show the most humanity?
Although Heath Ledger plays the joker suffering from a childhood traumatic disturbance, like a malicious, murderous clown, with tremendous self defence skills, I think I prefer Jim Carey's over the top wacky characterisation in an earlier version of the Batman saga.
Torn betwen self interest and public image, Commissioner Gordon, is played convincingly by Gary Oldman, and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox gives Batman some High Tec Police assistance to locate the Joker by tracking on screens, every mobile phone in the city. Part of the dark ironic cynical humour, is that by eliminating several 'gangs' the Joker is a more effective crime fighter than Batman.
The second disc in this collection includes some interesting commentaries by director Christopher Nolan, gallery shots, and behind the scenes planning and staging.
