Review: 'THE DARK KNIGHT' soundtrack

World's Finest DVD Report turns a critical eye towards the soundtrack of 'The Dark Knight'

Overall this soundtrack comes Highly Recommended. Pick it up, listen to it and enjoy playing the film back in your head as the score plays in the background. One thing I found so fascinating about listening to film scores is going back to watch the film after listening to the isolated scores for so long. You not only pick up on it more in the film but also can pinpoint areas that aren’t included on the soundtrack. I’ve yet to get to that point and likely won’t until the film itself hits the home video format.

A pair of 'DARK KNIGHT' Blu-Ray reviews

World's Finest DVD report has not one, but two reviews of the Blu-Ray release of 'The Dark Knight'. One favorable...

The highly-anticipated Blu-ray release of The Dark Knight is here and, overall, it’s a satisfying package. It’s not perfect by any means, as I feel there’s a fair amount of content left out, but most fans should find the Blu-ray release a worthy investment. The audio is top-notch, the video is stellar, and the extras are worth spending a few hours. For the top movie of the year, one sure to take home a few Oscars, I believe the Blu-ray release should have been more packed, but I’m not complaining. The The Dark Knight: Two-Disc Special Edition Blu-ray release comes Highly Recommended to own, despite some of it’s’ shortcomings, simply because the main feature is such a magnificent experience. Bold, uncompromising, and intelligent, The Dark Knight is a staggering masterpiece and it looks dynamic on Blu-ray!

The other...less...

Between the annoying aspect ratio change and the lackluster extras, I’m actually going to have to toss this one into the Rental pile, just to see and hear how the film looks and sounds on Blu-ray. I do not recommend this release to be your first viewing of the film as I feel strong enough about the aspect ratio changes that I think they would be enough to tear you out of what is an otherwise incredibly engaging and enthralling film to watch. Perhaps I’m just blowing it out of proportion, but I would genuinely recommend getting the two-disc DVD edition (although that release does not contain the History Channel specials) over this release if you want to enjoy the movie without any distractions. It’s incredibly disappointing for me that I have to designate the Blu-ray release the “lesser” of the releases, but considering the insane sales this will likely produce regardless, I doubt it will matter much if I have to drop a negative on it. I guess I just expected more from the home video release…apparently I hyped myself in reverse this time.

Six Dark Knight DVD videos

We're told the Italian film site BadTaste has six behind-the-scenes video clips from 'The Dark Knight', coming soon on DVD and Blu-Ray. The site was down when we checked the clips this morning, but here's hoping it comes back online by the time you read this.
