10 foreign reviews of The Dark Knight Rises (2012)

1. Göteborgs-Posten

10 / 10

Translated from swedish: I wavered between a four and a five in rating, but since it is not possible to go further in the field of action film technique than what Nolan does in "The Dark Knight Rises" in 2012, the four-point decision was made.

3. Game Reactor

10 / 10

Translated from swedish: Not only is there a whole abundance of scenes that make one's eyes tear as if there were onion bits under the eyelids, but also horrific amounts of tension, fantastic actors, filthily beautiful photography, inhumanly delicious music, and a grandeur that gives the word "epic" a whole new meaning.

4. Nöjesguiden

10 / 10

Translated from swedish: Everything is grandiose and excessive in its stripped-down modernism - the streets, the houses, the palaces, the rooms, the vehicles and the antagonists.

5. Svenska Dagbladet

6. Ljud & Bild

8.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: Most importantly, however, is that "The Dark Knight Rises" is an outstanding action film that makes three hours pass in the blink of an eye. The plot is built up in an excellent way and constantly has an underlying nerve that keeps the audience interested and curious.

7. Aftonbladet

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Dark, darker, darkest. The three Batman films dig deeper into a gloomy hole. It's not a comic book adventure as an escape from reality, but rather as a terrifying science fiction.

8. Moviezine

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Christopher Nolan is not reinventing the wheel with his Batman movies, and this time he has probably also set the ambition level a little too high for his own good. But he has revived the genre in a way that many filmmakers are really envious of.

9. Sveriges Radio

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: It doesn't quite live up to the previous film, the masterpiece in the genre, but the rating is on the border of a five.

10. Dubbningshemsidan

7 / 10

Translated from swedish: The story is interesting, and just like in the previous film, it is a dark and gloomy view that we get to see; far from the more cheerful and lighthearted style that most superhero movies tend to have. There is a tangible depth here, and it is both interesting and engaging.
