7 foreign reviews of Batman: The Dark Knight (2008)

1. Aftonbladet

8 / 10

Translated from swedish: Crime and punishment, death and pain. "Batman: The Dark Knight" is a dark film, not just mentally. Much of it takes place at night, in the dark. It is also an exciting action film.

8 / 10

Positive, no rating

Translated from swedish: The second part in Christopher Nolan's series about the dark knight had its premiere in 2008. Seven years later, it is just as good as it was then.

5. Moviezine

6 / 10

Translated from swedish: One cannot help but capitulate to the inexorable consequence with which Nolan treats his material - at the forefront of his focus is the psychological game and the moral consequences of power politics, personal morality, and most interestingly, the boundary of when an individual is broken down, when a good man allows himself to be subdued by his inner darkness.

6. Dagens Nyheter

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: Without Heath Ledger's Joker, "Batman: The Dark Knight" would have been quickly forgotten and put aside, after having record-danced a summer.

7. Svenska Dagbladet

3.3 / 10

Translated from swedish: The Joker who has long mocked the guardians of the law in the latest Batman movie is an oddity in the context and somewhat of a philosopher. For him, disorder has an intrinsic value. Chaos is his life's air.
