   The Millennium trilogy ends with The Girl Who Kicked a Hornet's Nest, following right on the heels of the second chapter which I did not like. So HERE are the resolutions the previous film owed us, but I still resent the fact that - and it's not the films' fault - Larrson essentially created a brilliant modern age Holmes and Watson that could have solved a different mystery every book (and thus, film), but instead chose to turn the narrative inward to "explain" Lisbeth. Instead of two more engrossing mysteries before he passed away, we instead got a two-part thriller, and in this case, a bit of court room drama. What I think is infuriating about this turn of events is that Lisbeth is a great investigator, but in this last chapter, aside from the final fight they allow her, she's basically a damsel in (medical, then judicial) distress for Blomkvist and his team(s) to rescue. It's just not what the first chapter promised, so the follow-ups were never going to be much good unless "Dragon Tattoo" were reimagined as a series/franchise that acted like only the first book happened. That said, Hornets's Nest is watchable if schizophrenic affair, the various elements good in and of themselves, but disconnected in genre or tone. I love the anticlimactic ending though, as sums up the leads' relationship perfectly. 4 years 7 months ago

   i wonder what the extended version of this movie was like, because a lot of things in the story seemed only brought up quickly and for no real purpose except including events from the book. Stuff like the cocaine planting and Berger getting harassed by email seemed very quick and should have either been expanded on or cut out of the story. 12 years 5 months ago
