8 foreign reviews of Midway (2019)

1. Spel och film

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Midway" is good, worth watching, and action-packed from beginning to end. However, it is a bit too long and loses momentum for a while. Otherwise, it is a masterful war movie that, without a doubt, should be seen by anyone interested in World War II.

2. Aftonbladet

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Here you will find the usual cast of characters and those who have seen the film before will recognize them. A long history lesson that assumes you already know most of it.

3. Filmtopp

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: Unlike many other films of this type, Roland Emmerich has chosen to do something different. He dedicates the story to both the American and Japanese soldiers who lost their lives at Midway.

5. Moviezine

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: Anyone who likes lavish war action will get their money's worth. But when the cliches come thick and fast, and many scenes feel repetitive, this becomes rather boring to watch.

6. Filmeye

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: "Midway" is a true American heroic saga, filled with action but lacking much else. It might work for an American audience and for the most action-hungry viewers.

7. Dagens Nyheter

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: Roland Emmerich has created a historical spectacle with plenty of engrossing dives towards Japanese aircraft carriers.

8. Svenska Dagbladet

3.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: Grandiose action scenes and breathtakingly beautiful roller coaster experiences are weighed down by a fragmented script.
