First she's getting tattoos, then she's playing with fire, and now she's kicking hornet nests?
Hey The Girl, why don't you just chill the fuck out? Try a hobby. Maybe build some tiny boats and put them in bottles or some shit. Geez.

I don't blame them for struggling to adapt the third novel. Even at three hours, it's way too complex a story to get into film format. If I hadn't read the book, I think I'd have been confused about the characters -- both good guys and bad.
Still, bow down to Noomi Rapace. Astonishing.

A worthy end to the trilogy with again an excellent Noomi Rapace. She has the capabilities to act convincingly without having to talk. Nowadays that is a rare quality within an actor or actress but she has me convinced that she is the real Lisbeth Salander

Luftslottet som sprängdes follows Män som hatar kvinnor and Flickan som lekte med elden. I know that it was poorly received by critics, and I guess that reviewers here won't be fond of it, but I found it an exciting story, and a satisfying end to the trilogy; for me the weakest part of the trilogy was the second film. Michael Nyqvist was again excellent as Mikael Blomkvist, and Annika Hallin who played his sister, Lisbeth Salander's lawyer was also very strong.
It will be interesting to see the American versions of the last two films, I enjoyed The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo but preferred the original. I saw the English language version first though - and wonder if familiarity with the story may mean I end up liking the the last two remakes more than the originals? -
Noomi Rapace is just wonderful in this entire series.
Michael Nyvqist deserves kudos as well, but Noomi had a more memorable character to play and she really plays the hell out of her.
This final chapter of the series closes out well. I liked the dramatic shifts from one act to another and I thought the ending was rather effortlessly beautiful in a way.
I really enjoyed this extremely character driven trilogy. -
The second best in Stieg Larsson's Millennium trilogy of novels concerning the rocky relationship between journalist Mickael Blomkvist and hacker Lisbeth Salander unsurprisingly makes for the second best of the movies too. Whereas Dragon Tattoo was a character establishing self contained effort that was stunningly adapted, it's follow up. Played with Fire, was largely a rather dull set up for this installment. Hornet's Nest doesn't contain the mystery of Dragon Tattoo but does manage to deliver a fitting conclusion for the saga.
Salander has been remanded in hospital, accused with attempting to murder her father, Zalachenko after narrowly escaping death at the hands of her Hulk like half brother. Blomkvist is determined to prove her innocence and expose the corruption…

This one was pretty weak, definitely brings the trilogy down, the second one was well below the first one as well, so I was hoping the third would save it, but not the case, it has a lot of clich� things, and it has some things that could've been cut out and lost nothing. I really hope Fincher won't waste his time with the full trilogy.

Film 76 of The 2013 Project.
Running time: 147 minutes.
A very disappointing end to the trilogy. The chemistry is completely gone for the two leads, and some things really don't work. It's incredibly slow, and dull. There's one crazy moment, but it just doesn't pick up when the rest of the film is so very dull. Very disappointing end to the trilogy, which is a very big shame!

Continues on from The Girl Who Played with Fire, this wraps up the trilogy and brings some justice for Lisbeth. Consistent quality.

Muy buen final para la trilogia, se me hizo un toque larga, pero nada, un detalle. Ella es un gran personaje y creo q esta muy bien explotado y con bastante naturalidad, cualidad q no creo logre la yankee, ni en los personajes, ni en el clima de la pelicula. En resumen, muy buena trilogia.

Al igual que con los libros en los que se basan. Esta tercera y última entrega me gustó mucho más que su antecesora. Es una serie con una protagonista y trama brillantes.

-1 star for general disappointment.

The conclusion to the Millennium trilogy, this is a strange trilogy as the focus of the first film has nothing to do with the conclusion other than the fact that the first film brings Micke and Lisbeth together. I am very glad that I made the effort to see these films as I think they play really well in their natural language.
The only real issue was the Neidermann story and where it ended up, if it had been removed completely I could have lived with that, overall an excellent trilogy.
