Batman The Dark Knight

Movie Review

I decided to celebrate the coming of the new year with watching Batman The Dark Knight on Blu-Ray (The two disc special edition) as I didn't feel like going out to watch the fireworks as it isn't all that great to look at from my place and the general quality of the fireworks are kinda lame here and you get fed up with them as they start testing it from like the 26th out(Plus I'd already been out this week). Enough about that.

This movie is a dream to watch, it has everything you would want in a movie. The cinematic landscape is fantastic, the way it had been filmed was just stunning. And it contributed greatly to the atmosphere and while I didn't watch it on a 7:1 sound system the sound of the movie was special. And the special effects was really well done. 

The story fits well with who I think Batman is. Christian Bale does a great job portraying our dark caped crusader. The Dark Knight and Batman Begins is in my opinion the best of the live action Batman movies. And Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine brings something subtle yet good to the table. Heath Ledger (may he rest in peace) was fantastic as the lunatic Joker. I wonder who will fill the Joker suit in the next Batman (which I really think will come). I was immersed all the way through and found myself sliding closer and closer to the screen as the movie progressed. This movie is the best movie I've seen this year. Yes it beat Iron Man! One thing that struck me during watching this, Iron Man and Batman are the two superheroes that made themselves, they both rely on technology and their wit to beat the villains.  Thank you DC and Marvel for taking your audience seriously and bringing us great movies of our superheroes. I assume both of you does monitor the produtions.

The extras on the Blu-Ray is great. The Batman tech special is a wonderful  thing to watch. Especially for a nerd like me. Very pleased with this release. 

I'll sum it up with this:

Go buy it and watch it!!
