Soundtrack English; Soundtrack Spanish To say that Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT is the best comic book adaptation does the film a bit of a disservice. It may be a Batman film, but this isn't a kid-friendly action movie full of the bams and pows of the original series. This is a pitch-black thriller with enough drama and tragedy to please even William Shakespeare, but it will certainly keep both comics fans and uninitiated audiences equally happy. THE DARK KNIGHT starts in the wake of BATMAN BEGINS: with the appearance of Batman (Christian Bale), Gotham City's criminal underworld is unnerved. They're also plagued by the new D.A., Harvey Dent (Aaron Eckhart), who, in his quest for justice, remains above the city's corruption. Enter a new villain, the Joker (Heath Ledger), who wants to unite the criminals for a common purpose: to kill Batman.
THE DARK KNIGHT is one of the most hyped movies to date, and a lesser film would be crushed under the weight of all that expectation. Some of the publicity stems from the early death of Ledger, who turns in an excellent performance. He provides moments of humor, but this Joker is terrifying, sharing more with classic villains such as Hannibal Lechter than with his comic book predecessors. Eckhart is equally good as Dent, and Maggie Gyllenhaal deserves praise for taking over the role of Rachel Dawes from Katie Holmes. Though there's more emphasis on plot and character development than in most comic book adaptations, that doesn't mean Nolan has skimped on any of the action sequences. Each set piece is done perfectly, leaving the audience breathless. THE DARK KNIGHT is filmmaking at its best; its subject matter may be dark and depressing, but it's tough not to feel exhilarated by its artistry when the credits begin to roll.
Dark Knight Reviews: "[T]he movie exudes a predatory glamour that makes the comic-book films that have come before it look all the more like kid stuff." -- Grade: A--- Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly 5 stars out of 5 -- "[A]n anarchic, malevolent fury of a movie....Ledger's Joker is pure, powerful, immense..."-- Empire Staff, Empire "[A] sleek detective story....Bale and Eckhart centralize the movie's thematic concerns, causing the Joker's outrageousness to stand out."-- Eric Kohn, Premiere "This last development is a fine example of Nolan's flair for multivalent plot points....Nolan is aided by strong performances. Bale is focused, intense and committed to being terrifying..."-- Kim Newman, Sight and Sound "Working from Michael Mann's visual template and seemingly indebted to the hard-nosed savagery of THE DEPARTED, Christopher Nolan's second BATMAN installment has some thrilling moments..."-- Kent Jones, Film Comment "The best of all the Batmans, Christopher Nolan's haunted film leaps beyond its origins and becomes an engrossing tragedy."-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times Ranked #3 in Rolling Stone's 'Movies Of The Year' -- "[A] Batman movie that offers enough moral relativism to give you knightmares."-- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone Included in Entertainment Weekly's 2008 Films Of The Year -- "[A] triumph of comic-book relevance, starring Christian Bale as a superhero uneasy with his calling in a city anesthetized to matter-of-fact evil..."-- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly 4 stars out of 4 -- "THE DARK KNIGHT is a more thrilling, intelligent, morally complex and masterfully crafted film than any summer blockbuster in recent years. It's probably the best superhero movie to date."-- Claudia Puig, USA Today "Always a consummate professional, Ledger threw himself into a role he clearly relished, giving a transfixing performance..."-- Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times "Pitched at the divide between art and industry, poetry and entertainment, it goes darker and deeper than any Hollywood movie of its comic-book kind..."-- Manohla Dargis, New York Times Dark Knight | List Price | $19.98 (You save $6.69) | | Studio | Warner Home Video | | Orig Year | 2008 | | All Time Sales Rank |  141427  | | CD Universe Part number | 7995732 | | Catalog number | 1000115189 | | Discs | 1 | | Release Date | Sep 22, 2009 | | Rating | PG-13 (MPAA) | | Additional Info | Widescreen; Dubbed; Spanish | | Movie Details | Widescreen; Dubbed; Spanish |
Dark Knight Movie Review  GREAT MOVIE, BUT.........
EVEN THOUGH HEATH DID AS GOOD OR EVEN A LITTLE BETTER TO ME THAN NICHOLSON AS JOKER HE SIMPLY DIDN'T MAKE THIS MOVIE. JUST SIMPLY TOO MUCH HYPE PLACED ON HIM SOLEY BECAUSE OF HIS PREMATURE AND TRAGIC DEATH. THIS MOVIE WAS SO GREAT BECAUSE OF ALL THE GREAT CHARACTERS IN THIS MOVIE AND SOME OF THE COOLEST WRITING EVER FOR A SUPERHERO MOVIE LIKE THIS THAT BROUGHT IT ALL TOGETHER IN AN EVEN BETTER ENDING. HEATH LEDGER WAS GOOD AS JOKER BUT I THINK HIS PERFORMANCE WAS A JUST A BIT OVER RATED HERE. THOUGH WHAT HAPPENED TO HEATH WAS A TRADGEDY I THINK A LOT OF HYPE SIMPLY COMES FROM THAT BASE OF FOLKS THAT WANTED HIM RECOGNIZED FOR THAT ANOTHER SUPER HYPED LITTLE MOVIE CALLED "BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN". I PERSONALY HOPE HE GETS HONORABLE MENTION AT THE OSCARS FOR HIS WORK BUT NOT AN OSCAR BY THE SAME WAY JULIA ROBERTS DID FOR "ERIN BROCKAVICH" IN THIS WAY. I HOPE THAT IN THE NEXT BATMAN MOVIE THEY GET WHO I THINK WOULD A BE AN EVEN BETTER JOKER AND THAT IS DANIEL DAY LEWIS. THIS GUY CAN PLAY "DARK AND SCARY" AS GOOD OR BETTER THAN HEATH ANY DAY OF THE WEEK AND I HOPE HE GETS TO PROVE IT IN THE NEXT BATMAN MOVIE. I ALSO AGREE WITH OTHER REVIEWERS ON HERE THAT BATMANS VOICE NEEDS A LITTLE WORK NEXT TIME AND TO BE A LITTLE CLEARER INSTEAD LOW AND RASPY. OVER ALL THOUGH SIMPLY GREAT WRITING AND ACTION AND WELL WORTH BUYING. THIS IS A MUST BUY AND A MUST SEE AND CERTAINLY SHOULD BE UP FOR AN OSCAR AS ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF THE YEAR.

The Dark Knight Is My all time favorite superhero movie. Great Beginning, Middle, and End. Heath Ledger did do a good job as the Joker, thou not quite as funny as the Joker is suppose to be, and he did over act the part but his last performance was excellent and it defenitaly lived up to the Hype. christian Bale as batman did a good job, he could have come up with a better voice part as batman, BATMAN DOESN'T Rasp His Voice. And what is up with that batmobile? Is it a tank? The batmobile in the original Batman played by Michael Keaton was way better, but the additional Motorcycle is cool. This movie had a great ending and Christipher Nolan did a Perfect job Directing and It should definatley get an Oscar for best movie of the year. One of the Best Dragged out movie ever. 5 stars

This review is for a different format. One for the records
This movie lives up to its highly anticipated hype. Before the movie came out i was anxious, when i saw it i was even more anxious to see it again, and now that ive seen it twice im anxious for it to release on Blue ray. This movie has made me feel like a kid again. I feel like its saturday morning and i cant wait to wake up and watch cartoons. Only im an adult and im counting the days so that i can request the day off of work early just to be one of the first people with it. Movies Like this dont come often so its best to show respect and support by buying them. The film is oo great to bootleg so people dont think about it please.

In director Wolfgang Petersen's charming fantasy, Bastian (Barrett Oliver), a lonely schoolboy alienated from his father and bullied by his classmates, retreats to an attic where he becomes engrossed in a book entitled THE NEVERENDING STORY. It is the tale of a magical kingdom appropriately named Fantasia, since it is a world born of human fantasies. However, as humanity loses faith in the power of imagination, the once-thriving Fantasia is being destroyed by great storms of Nothingness. Dangerously ill herself, Fantasia's youthful empress (Tami Stronach) sends the young warrior Atreju (Noah Hathaway) on a quest to find a cure for the kingdom. After encountering flying dragons, swamp monsters and a vast assortment of other strange creatures, the young hero discovers that only a human boy can save Fantasia, at which point Bastian is drawn, literally, into the pages of the story.
94 minute feature film DVD. A young warrior, Altreyu, and the faith of a young boy battle the unknown of the Nothing to save the creatures of Fantasia.
