The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest Audience Reviews

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
perkypops To watch this cinematic recount of Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy has been as great a privilege as reading the books. The seven hours or so of cinema are compelling and, as faithfully as they may, follow the stories with just the right atmosphere, characters, pace, and realism. Every flaw of every character is reproduced in the acting, and recalls your memory of what Larsson wrote.The central characters, Lisbeth Salander (Rapace) and Mikael Blomkvist (Nyqvist) are superbly cast and are supported by a very strong cast who pull out all the stops whichever side they are on. It is a beautifully photographed trilogy, with atmosphere in video and soundtrack fitting a script that keeps you in touch with what is going on in what is quite a complex storyline. And for a film of a trifle short of two and half hours it literally flies by, because, like all good stories, it keeps you hooked.Sweden makes some wonderful cinema and these films are up there with the best. Please watch all three movies just to observe how true craftspeople ply their trade.Highly recommended.
andrednz It took me almost a year to finish the book. They almost doubled the number of characters but, although the names are barely mentioned here, even the most interesting become flat characters. Figuerola is nothing. The thrilling situation involving Erika Berger being stalked in her new job becomes a mere footnote. The passionate debate between Teleborian and Annika Giannini is short and tedious in the movie. Not to mention the Tom and Jerry like chase made out of the fight between Salander and Niederman... Daniel Alfredson and two screenwriters managed to turn a necessary sequel into something really hard to watch. It took me 3 nights to watch this movie. Good pick for insomniacs.
SnoopyStyle Directly after the end of the last movie, Lisbeth Salander is recovering from the gunshot wounds and facing trial from the earlier three murders. Her father Alexander Zalachenko is also recovering while her half-brother Niedermann is on the run. Mikael Blomkvist intends to expose everything while old men from the Swedish Security Service tries to silence the loose ends.The problem in this movie is that it's simply tying up loose ends. There are no more mystery or reveals left. Also Lisbeth is left on the sideline. First she's in the hospital, then she's in prison and finally she's in court. It's a lackluster wrap up of the trilogy without adding anything interesting. Also Mikael keeps saying that they're going to write the story about her. It seems like there is enough dirt to start writing. I don't really understand why they don't publish something. Again as with the second movie, Lisbeth and Mikael are kept apart for most of the movie. It is simply not as compelling as the earlier two films.
Armand final part of series, it is a basket with answers after the first parts questions. in same measure, it is a good political movie, far to classic recipes but really convincing to discover the novel. it is almost unrealistic in many scenes but it has the rare gift to seduce and to have the force to give inspired skin to a remarkable story. Noomi Rapace use each possibility of her role and the crisis of Millennium team is presented in inspired manner. in same measure, it is a film about Sweden system and that makes the difference by American crime genre. because, far to be only an adaptation, it represents a portrait of a country. and this fact is real significant - the rules, the democratic lines and limits, the role of silence and the justice , the force of civil society. a beautiful series. and , maybe, the most inspired form to adapted a success book.
