Not as good as the first film but still very interesting! I'm interested to see Fincher's remake because I liked his version of TGWTDT better. Overall if you liked the original Swedish version of this film you should enjoy this sequel.

Feels like a made-for-TV movie, apart from the graphic sex scene. But Michael Nyqvist is terrific.
And what more can we say about Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth? She earns the film a full star all her own.

It's not terrible but it's not very good either.
-
Even though the case isn't as interesting as in Dragon Tattoo, and Salander & Blomqvist are kept apart for the vast vast majority (thus denying us that Scully / Mulder factor), this is still a worthy follow-up. It's good to see more of the lesbian side of Lisbeth explored. She remains a fascinating and complex character, strong yet incredibly and understandably fragile. But you can see an emergence of character. Noomi Rapace is dynamite on screen throughout, even during numerous slightly plodding scenes.

Flickan som lekte med elden
The follow up to Män som hatar kvinnor (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo), continuing the story of Lisbeth and Mikael. Although I very much liked both versions of the first film, I liked the Swedish version better, in part because Michael Nyqvist was so good in his role as Mikael Blomkvist. He was again excellent, and although I felt this story was less believable he still made this into a good film. -
Another excellent film in the Millenium series. Rapace and Nykvist reprise their roles well and there is enough suspense to go around. Not quite as good as the first in the series, but still very good indeed.

This film is all about Noomi Rapace being absolutely brilliant and of the best in the business right now.
-
Not as good as the first one but still entertaining, they push it a little bit with having the brother be the muscle guy and then it really doesn't matter, but I guess that's relevant in the third one. I think the weakest part of this one is mainly due to it having to set up for the third, unlike the first which is self contained.

Film 75 of The 2013 Project.
Running time: 129 minutes.
Not as great as the first, but still some very intense moments. The two main actors, are still excellent in their roles. Noomi Rapace is excellent once again and you see her truly grow more and more as a character. I just want to get some reviews out quickly at the moment, so I'm just going to be writing a few short reviews for the moment. So I'll just say, if you enjoyed the first film, I think you will very much enjoy this still!

Although the plot is well developed, the characters further explored, somehow it falls short. It doesn't feel cinematic but still enjoyable.
-
Another solid installment in the millennium trilogy, but much like the first, though to a greater degree, doesn't go past being solid.

Lo q podria considerarse la pelicula puente de la trilogia resulto bastante buena, los personajes van completandose y deja picando la tercera.

I enjoyed this as much as the first part. I had read the book for the first installement, but had not for this, and therefore had no idea what to expect. It was an enjoyable and exciting movie, if not a little predictable.
Again the lead Mara is amazing and is such a standout in the movie you can see she will go onto (and already has) greater things. -
I watched 'The Girl Who Played With Fire' for the first time a few weeks ago, I watched it on 'Netflix Instant', it was the stand alone version of the movie available on that service. I recently re-watched "The Girl Who Played With Fire" as part of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Extended Trilogy', also on 'Netflix Instant' service. The 'Extended' version is what I'll be reviewing.
As I prepared some thoughts prior to writing this review I found myself forming some strong critiques of the material, and as I thought about it I came to the conclusion that those critiques were based primarily on a comparative level with 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo'. Most of the confliction…

Esta tiene sus momentos. La verdad no me gustó como adaptación. Aunque tiene un final muy emocionante.
