Nothing like it should have or could have been. Like the previous two, I love the book. The steady build up and the gripping finale are ruined by this poor portrail. I didn't think the dub's could get any worse but alas, I was wrong. Plot differs from the book again and I'm not too sure why. The court case was not how I had imagined it in my head at all. Giannini is supposed to dominate but it was boring and lifeless. All in all, non coherent & poorly built. A shame as the books are amazing.

And with this I've seen the third film, now wanting to watch the tv series 'Millennium'. I enjoyed the previous two and this is no different.

The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is just about the perfect way to conclude the film trilogy. It deviated enough from the previous films to make it feel fresh, but it also tied up any loose ends that had been left over. We finally get (more or less) all of the answers that we wanted about Lisbeth Salander, even though she wasn't as heavily involved in the plot this time. This is the first film in the series that didn't feel padded, and I'm glad that the trilogy goes out on a strong note.

Rapace is good, but the only thing more boring than a police procedural is a courtroom drama. Also, I don't know anything about how a trial works in Sweden, but i'm pretty sure it's nothing like this.

The third film in the trilogy really pulls it all together and actually retroactively improves the first two movies. I wasn't entirely sold on the plot until this one, where you get some kick-ass courtroom drama (which I love) and it's still a better thriller than the last. It feels a little rushed, but it's still good enough that I think I need to read the books now, so make of that what you will. Score is not a grade.

A good ending to the trilogy. Fortunately they cut a lot of crap from the book so it was quite interesting.

Sadly, it's a case of diminishing returns. I fell in love with the first film, the second film was weaker, but still good, and this one was a slightly hard to watch. Obviously Lisbeth Salander is the heart and soul of this series, but in Hornet's Nest she's hardly in it. And where she is, she's hospitalized for most of it. Without Lisbeth it's just some stupid mystery/court procedural. I was always riveted while she was on screen, as always, but fairly bored otherwise.

The Thriller That Made Me Fall Asleep.

Certainly doesn't reach the dramatic heights of Tattoo and Fire, but having stuck it out through the grizzlyness of those first two it was nice to have all the loose ends tied up and brought to a satisfying, if not entirely surprising outcome.

I don't care anymore.

The beef I have with this franchise is that the first movie is an alright contained lil murder mystery thing then the following 2 are well, this which include some Bond villian henchman thing. Ehn, I bet the remakes will be BETTAH.

What I like about the first movie/book is its small scope. While this is a trilogy, the first works as a story in and of itself, even if it's a typical whodunnit murder mystery. The last two movies, which can be seen as Part 1 and Part 2 of a second story, iron out the mystery of Salander's character and expand the scope of the (implausible) conflict greatly. Unfortunately, when Salander's life-story and subsequent government coverup are revealed my interest died almost immediately.

The most overwrought, excessive, and implausible of the three. Earns some goodwill thanks to the rapport of the two leads and some well-shot action sequences, but it just isn't well-made enough to leave too strong of an impression. Rapace's damn good in these movies, however (though, for the record, I still prefer Rooney Mara).

Better then the second one and in this one you get learn more about Lisbeth's past and I was happy with the way everything ended but I can't wait till the American verison comes out.

Same as happened with the second one, only a short part is interesting, a bit longer here. Once the trial against Salander starts, the movie is interesting, so that's maybe 45 minutes (second one maybe was 20). Anyway, you can easily realize both two and three are not good, don't have the same director than the first one, not any other of the team but the actors, and absolutely don't reach the same quality in any aspect. Only if you need to know what happens with Lisbeth Salander no matter how.

Most say this is the weakest of the three. I beg to differ. I find it to be almost as good as the first but in completely different ways. This time, Alfredson seems to have found a new-found confidence in his craft giving us a challenging, unforgiving, and absorbing straight-up thriller that boasts numerous subplots that are fortunately tied up by the time the impressive courtroom scene climax is reached. Pacing is good and Rapace delivers once again.

Passes the time.

The end of this solid trilogy is somewhat of a lumbering beast. Despite the massive amount of information that is crammed into its 147 minutes, it often seems strangely light in content? That said, as per the previous two installments the performances are good & plot is just strong enough to engage. The courtroom scenes are among the finest in the whole trilogy, with the films focus finally falling on Lisbeth, rather than her support cast who are bearly half as interesting. Just about worth it!

This film is an exciting conclusion to an amazing trilogy. Noomi Rapace is excellent once again in the lead role. Micael Nyqvist is also great in his role. I highly recommend this film.

Suffers from the same TV-recut problems as the previous, but more so it suffers from being the final act in a dreary, unbelievable, clichéd and highly overrated storyline. Only redeeming factor is the likeable leads.

Stieg Larsson´s books are great, his millenium trilogy reached cult status and what about the movies? The First one is great, dark, thrilling and gripping until the end, the second one is really disappointing, and the last part is okay, but too many action scenes annoy in perpetuity. I recommend you to read the books. The Movies are only a constrained alternative.

Without a decent ending this movie would be painful and boring sit through. The majority of the film was non coherent and poorly built. There was no tension between characters and the verdict was evident. The afterplay gave some depth but it was already too late to save the movie.

A decent finale to the series that ties up all the loose ends from the previous two films and gives some closure to Lisbeth's story. It's pretty long and has tons of exposition, but it never felt boring and the acting from the two leads is excellent again.

"Alfredson's empty aesthetics mimic Hollywood conventions but merely exacerbate the hollowness of this entire affair." - Nick Schager

Pleasant to watch, but too slow for my taste; it is a proper sequel to the weakest second part of the trilogy though.
