Product Description
BATMAN, GORDON AND HARVEY DENT ARE FORCED TO DEAL WITH THE CHAOS UNLEASHED BY AN ANARCHIST MASTERMIND KNOWN ONLY AS THE JOKER, AS IT DRIVES EACH OF THEM TO THEIR LIMITS.Amazon.com
The Dark Knight arrives with extensive hype (best superhero movie ever? post-mortem Oscar for Heath Ledger?), and incredibly, it lives up to all of it. But job it the many appropriate superhero movie ever seems similar to gloomy praise, given partial of what creates the movie great–in further to pitch-perfect casting, superb writing, and a constrained vision–is which it bypasses the normal anticipation component of the superhero genre and creates it all terrifyingly real. Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart) is Gotham City’s brand brand new district attorney, charged with cleaning up the crime rings which have inept the city. He enters an nervous fondness with the immature military lieutenant, Jim Gordon (Gary Oldman), and Batman (Christian Bale), the caped vigilante who seems to certitude usually Gordon–and whom usually Gordon seems to trust. They have swell until a crazy and lethal brand brand new player enters the game: the Joker (Heath Ledger), who offers the crime bosses a solution–kill the Batman. Further complicating counts is which Dent is right away dating Rachel Dawes (Maggie Gyllenhaal, after Katie Holmes incited down the possibility to reprise her role), the longtime love of Batman’s change ego, Bruce Wayne.
In his final finished purpose prior to his comfortless death, Ledger is illusory as the Joker, a volcanic, indeed frightening force of evil. And he sets the tinge of the movie: the universe is a dark, dangerous place where there have been no easy choices. Eckhart and Oldman additionally shine, but as great as Bale is, his impression turns out rsther than tasteless in some-more aged (not odd for heroes confronting some-more full of color villains). Director-cowriter Christopher Nolan (Memento) follows his critically acclaimed Batman Begins with an even improved supplement which sets itself detached from important superhero movies similar to Spider-Man 2 and Iron Man since of the perfect romantic stroke and distinguished clarity of realism–there have been no suspension-of-disbelief superpowers here. At 152 minutes, it’s a shade as well long, and it’s many as well heated for kids. But for many movie fans–and not only superhero fans–The Dark Knight is a movie for the ages. –David Horiuchi

THIS IS PROBARLY THE WORST BATMAN YET. THIS WAS A OVERLY LONG PICTURE THAT HAD TOO MANY VILLAINS. CHRISTIAN BALE HAD THAT ANNOYING VOICE THAT SOUND LIKE HE WAS SICK. THE HYPE OVER HEATH LEDGER WAS TRULY OVER RATED. I WISH PEOPLE IN THE MEDIA WOULD STOP CALLING HIS DEATH ACCIDENTIAL IT WAS A SUICIDE. HEATH WAS A DRUG ADDICTED THE MEDIA DIDNT MINE SAYING THAT BRAD RENFRO WAS A DRUGGIE SO I AM SAYING HE IS. SO LET BE REAL ON SOME OF THIS. FOR THE MOST PART AMAZON BUYERS….BUY THIS MOVIE WHEN IT GOES FOR A PENNY. AS MUCH AS I LOVED BATMAN BEGINS WHICH WAS A MASTERPIECE FOR BATMAN 3 PLEASE!!! BRING BACK DAVID GOYER! GIVE HIM WHAT HE WANTS MORE MONEY !! HE WAS THE GENIUS BEHIND BATMAN BEGINS. SO THUMBS DOWN ON THIS ONE. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND REMEMBER THE JOKER CAN BE REPLACES AND DONT FALL FOR THE HYPE THAT HE SHOULD WIN A OSCAR JUST BECAUSE HE TOOK DRUGS AND KILLED HIMSELF!

You people these days consider this a good movie? Haha. Who in their right mind believes that a bat character that drives a Pontiac Firebird clone can save the world from evil?
For good and REAL action check out WWE, ECW, or TNA.

Suicidal Crybaby Heath Ledger, aka ‘Heathcliff,’ turns in an embarrassingly melodramatic performance as Joker in The Dark Knight.
“when a truck load of soldiers is blown up, it’s not a tragedy because it’s all ‘according to plan’”
Cry Me a River, Ledger.
Trucks load of soldiers? More like a truck load of babies. And I personally blow up truck loads of babies and then eat the savory, dessicated corpses all the damn time.
Soldiers go to war to die, and that’s the best part. Only a true anti-patriot anti-american anti-jewish person could have possibly written this film.
People are born to die, so it seems logical that we could all die a bit faster in war, yes?
But no, that logic is over the head of this childish film.
You’ll like this film if you’re a bleeding heart liberal, who cares about worthless crap like social justice, human rights, the environment, or animal rights.
Everyone else, that is, all the hardcore people in small town Joe the Plumber America had best avoid this backwater, wealth redistribution-esque crap.
That’s right, crap. Heath, your final film, it fails. It’s no wonder you pulled the plug… there’s no way to continue an acting career after one of these.
Maggie Gyllenhall? I’d rather screw her brother…. In fact, I’d rather screw my dog. The biggest miscast I’ve ever seen in a film.
One star because she fried, that’s one for the highlight reel.
