 Everyone's A Critic November 20, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Please, people, can we refrain from the mind-numbing synopsis/personal reviews of these titles? The movie was OK (if overlong), but nobody out there is holding off buying this blu-ray (or the regular version, for that matter) until Joe Blow chimes in and tells them why he thinks its worth "5-stars." Amazon - please get your act together and differentiate between the 1080p and 'standard' DVD versions and stop lumping these "reviews" together. The only question is: "How good (or bad) is the transfer?"
 Brain Dead Listings November 20, 2008
Why is it that Amazon overseas buyers are kept in the dark, like Batman, about the region codes on Blu ray DVDs advertised on the various Amazon sites? It would be such a simple matter to put a region code in the list of features of these movies. It need only be something like R 1 R2 or R A etc and that would make life easier for us out of towners to recognise and buy without being a pain in the neck asking questions about compatibility. Just a thought on something that irritates me! And BTW, the latest Batman movie is 100% cinematic magic - well done.
Best Batman film to date! November 20, 2008
Simply put, this movie blows all other batman films away! Jack Nicholson is still a cool joker, and Tim Burton is still one of the greatest directors in Hollywood...but Christopher Nolan's directorial interpretation of Batman is much, much, darker, and Heath Ledger's joker is far more clever and devious in a tragic way that is almost bizaar considering that the actor's death shortly followed the making of this film. This version of Batman nearly embraced an R-rating, wich I would think would have made it the greatest movie ever made in the history of history. As it stands now...9.5 on the rictor scale. Definitly a five star amazon rating to say the least.
But, will it work in my blu-ray player? November 20, 2008

My only question is, will the BluRay disk work on existing players? The studios have a history of releasing disks with features they either forgot to tell the player manufacturers about, or the player manufacturers ignored. I have purchased BluRay disks and had to wait three months for an update from the player manufacturer in order for my player to play the disk. This is very frustrating, so much so I quit buying blu-ray disks until 3-6 months after their release so I would know the player will actually play the disk. The recent Bond disks are but one example of many.
My suggestion is to wait a few weeks after this is released before buying it, and read the reviews here or on one of the AV websites, just to be sure it will work on your player. Otherwise, you could be disappointed at Christmas by not being able to watch the movie.
 Predictable. November 19, 2008

If you put aside the spectacular special effects, terrific car-chase scenes and Heath Ledger's extraordinary performance, all you're left with is a very predictable story. I saw more strategy displayed in a checkers game at Washington Square Park in New York than I did in this movie. No wonder this movie was rated PG-13: it was meant for the intellect of a grade school student (with no offense to them). However, the violence is not meant for a 13-year old. (And then we wonder why there are so many student shootings at high schools and colleges.) It's kinda ironic that "Brokeback Mountain" was rated R and this movie was rated PG-13. Instead of wasting your money on this movie, check out "Entre Les Murs," which won the Best Picture at the Cannes Film Festival this year. That film will give you very good insight on what grade school students are like in any country. Maybe you'll understand why movies like "The Dark Knight" causes students to behave as they do in movies like "Entre Les Murs."
