Ratings and reviews

Full of cliché I thought you could only see in an american film from the 80's this movie and the book take no time to fall from the high point it ended on in the first installment. Shooting feels as if its a soap opera, they only cake on more cheese as it goes along. I can only hope that the third is better.

Some scenes are compressed, if you've read the books. However, the majority of the story is very close to the books. I guess I should have purchased the extended version?

If you have read the books (which I recommend), then you should enjoy this part of the trilogy with no question, I love the Swedish version of Lisbeth beyond the American interpretation.
