Comment: Well done but 2-1/2 hours was too long. Two hours would have done it just as well.

Summary: The Dark Night
Comment: I had watched this when it first came to the theater. When I saw it for sale I bought it promptly. It is a great Batman movie. It had me guessing many times during the film. If you like Batman then I highly recomend it.

Summary: Great Movie but the DVD Seems Like a Studio Afterthought
Comment: The Dark Knight is among my favorite all time films. Unfortunately, Warner Brothers seemed to put all their effort into the Blu-ray version of the film, which is itself a bit disappointing if its customer reviews are any indication. Nevertheless, the DVD versions of the film seem like afterthoughts.

I originally intended to purchase the Two Disc Special Edition version of The Dark Knight because I purchased that version of Batman Begins (Two-Disc Special Edition) and very much enjoyed the Special Features. After reading the negative customer reviews of The Dark Knight Special Edition DVD's special features, however, I purchased the single-disc widescreen version of The Dark Knight. Buyers should note that the single-disc version of The Dark Knight contains no special features whatsoever.

The lack of any special features on the single-disc version was a bit of a surprise to me, but not a huge disappointment. After all, there are Special Edition and Blu-ray versions available. However, the Blu-ray version's special features were found lacking by a number of reviewers. Specifically, it lacks a true "Making of" documentary and lacks in-depth looks at how the stunts were created.

The DVD Special Edition has even fewer special features than the Blu-ray version, according to their product descriptions (I do not own multiple versions of this film, so please comment with corrections if I am mistaken). It has the IMAX scenes presented in their original format, but not as integrated into the movie, as the Blu-ray does. It also lacks the brief Creation of a Scene featurettes, which were apparently the highlight of the Blu-ray special features. This led me to conclude that the special features weren't worth their price. This was true for the Blu-ray format as well, which obviously got more attention than the DVD versions.

In summary, this is a great film that has been treated with a mediocre DVD/Blu-ray release. While I was disappointed at the special features options on the Special Edition DVD and Blu-ray, I am glad to own this excellent film. Just beware that the film, and not the special features, is about all you're buying in any of its versions.

Summary: Dark Knight
Comment: Whenever I order straight from Amazon and not a seller I get really good customer service. It's easy and fast. Many times the seller is cheaper but I get less than superb service even with high ratings. I will be choosing to pay the higher price with Amazon rather than cutting a lower deal with a seller with a high rating.
