This review is from: The Dark Knight Trilogy (Blu-ray + UV Copy)[Region Free] (Blu-ray)
Anyone who is leaning toward buying this set because of the included book, ‘The Art and Making of The Dark Knight Trilogy’, should be wary – Unlike the product image, which shows the hardcover edition of the book (which is available separately) the version included with this box set is not merely slimmed down, but heavily abridged too – It features many of the images from the original but almost all the text has been entirely removed. Given that the book allegedly feature rare insight into the intentions of those involved in making this trilogy, it was disappointing to find we only get the pictures – As a bonus addition, it’s still a very nice touch, but the differences could be defined more clearly in the product image and description.
(Also, as mentioned elsewhere, the book also isn’t quite the right dimensions for the box and requires a piece of polystyrene in order to sit flush with the disc sleeve)

I loved all three movies, and I’m sure the blu rays are amazing to watch. But when I received the box set this morning I was really disappointed. For starters there was the random piece of paper stuck to the back which described each of the movies. I don’t understand why it was there at all if it wasn’t simply going to be the design for the back of the box, as having removed it; my box already has white spots where the glue has damaged it. the booklet of how the movies were made is a nice touch, but I thought it was very cheap to just put a piece of polystyrene in the box so that you could see it. it would have been easy to put an indent in the box so that the blu rays and booklet were the same level and I didn’t have to take the blu rays out to get to the booklet. Then I actually opened the blu ray box. 2 out of 5 of the discs don’t have a title on them. So it’s not that easy to tell which disc is ‘Batman Begins’, and which disc is ‘The Dark Knight’. All the other discs have ‘The Dark Knight Rises’, or ‘The Dark Knight Special Features’, and I find that inconsistency and lack of clarity extremely annoying. I realise I’m nit-picking and no one else is probably bothered, but when this came through my door this morning, I expected better.

The UV copy doesn’t work and customer service from Flixster non existent – website often down etc. Best movies ever made and a shame to be let down on the digital copy

|Great movies, shame about the box set,
