Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: 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. Customer Rating: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: The Best Batman Comment: This is the best Batman ever. It's the way the Batman movies should have been made. Christian Bale blew Michael Keaton out of the water as Batman. Much better than Batman Begins. It is more in line with the comic book. Plus there are no more cheesy lines or stupid villians. Heath Ledger killed as the Joker. He really got into the role that he became the Joker. Customer Rating: Summary: Why so serious? Comment: When I received the invitation to review this product, I was reluctant. Not because I did not want to, but because I was afraid that I could not do it justice. So please, consider that my comments are not perfect, and accept what I have to offer with an open mind. For me, the product was of good quality and entertaining. I enjoyed it and would recommend it. However, I believe that "The Dark Knight" was made interesting and entertaining by Batman's enemy, The Joker, and not Batman himself. Bale delivers the Batman, but, much like "Batman Begins," the audience is still left with that 'Is this Batman as good as Michael Keaton?' feeling. Heath Ledger did for "The Dark Knight" what Jack Nicholson did for "Batman." Simply put, Nicholson's Joker is more of a 'Comic Book' view (although sinister) of the Joker, while Ledger's Joker is a gritty 'Graphic Novel' view of the Clown Prince of Crime. These talented actors have delivered two completely different performances that have served to offer two different perspectives on the Joker. Neither is better than the other. Neither disappoints. Customer Rating: Summary: awesome!!! Comment: It was a very good story, and they could not have picked a better cast. The special effects were the greatest! I think it was the best Batman ever!!!
