    Really good, only slightly less so than the first one. 11 years 4 months ago

    The Girl Who Played with Fire makes many missteps, some of them from the book, and disappoints in comparison to the first film. Nyqvist and Rapace are as good as ever, but the story doesn't allow them to meet up until almost the end, and from their twin POVs, we now move to the villains as well and it breaks the spell. At the center of the mystery, which deals with the murder of journalists about to expose a human trafficking ring, is a giant whopping coincidence / contrivance that took me right out of the movie. And as far as resolutions go, it could have really used a little epilogue to wrap things up and draw lines between A and B and C one last time. I'm like, wait, how is this all actually connected? The basic look and feel, now that the franchise has changed directorial hands, suggests production made for TV despite the nudity and violence. The first film told a convoluted and bizarre story, but it was still pretty grounded. This one has supervillains. If you liked Dragon Tattoo, you'll find the same characters and continue liking them through the experience. You just won't find a lot of satisfaction. 4 years ago

    As the other commenters have said, not as good as the first. Main weakness is the story starts getting silly with the introduction of Lisbeth's bizarre family. Has some good moments of Lisbeth kicking ass and is fun to watch if you've seen the first film. 12 years 5 months ago
