THE 10 BEST MOVIE RELEASES OF 2008:
10. "The Dark Knight: Two-Disc Special
Edition": "The Dark Knight," the second film in Christopher Nolan's character reboot of the masked avenger,
is the best of the superhero movies of the year, a pulp tragedy with costumed
heroes and villains taking the roles of mythic gods and monsters and with an
urban noir aesthetic to the melodrama. The DVD delivers just the kind of
featurettes on stunts and special effects that fans love in a smart, sharp
little package. To give credit where it's due, the deluxe editions of "Iron Man" and "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" are even more
impressive packages, with a surfeit of behind-the-scenes material and
imaginative supplements delivered by enthusiastic filmmakers. But while they get
points for creativity, "The Dark Knight" is the better film. Needless to say, the
Blu-ray editions of each are the stuff that Blu-ray dreams are made of.
