    Sexy, dangerous, and smart

    by thejeffersonlee

    Stieg Larsson's second book of his posthumously released Millennium Trilogy makes it to the silver screen and is no less a treat than it's predecessor, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyquist return as the unlikely investigative team of Lisbeth Salander and Michael Blomquist. Rapace gives a compelling performance and makes Larsson's abilities as a suspense-thriller-mystery writer visually tangible and satiating. The story of Lisbeth Salander becomes clearer and darker all at the same time, and it will leave you craving for the third and final film. These films bring a fresh and powerful credibility to Swedish cinema and film. Who wants to go to Stockholm?!? ME!!

    Once Again...Smashing

    by KalelFan

    Noomi Rapace draws the attention of any reader of the Millienium series as Lisbeth Salandar once again. Her portrayal of the young lady with the boyish figure warrants her depiction for the American screen versions. The film was written in near similarity to the novel, which means that even if you have never read the book series, you can watch the film and get the gist of the storyline with 95% accuracy. Not for children, the film has a very intense intimacy scene between Salander and Miriam, it was still appropriate as it was written according to Larssen's work. The story begins in a slow fashion, similar to the novels, however, as you meet Paolo, Zala, and Niedermann for the first time, you will enjoy seeing Blomkvist again. Your sympathies will be extended to Salander as she makes her way through the beatings, memories, and agony of running for her innocence. True fans should see this and newcomers must see the first film "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" first.

    Loved it

    by elebow

    Read all three books and couldn't wait to see the movies. Saw the first one last week and couldn't wait to see the second one, The Girl Who Played with Fire. I was not disappointed. If anything, it was even better than the first one. Loved Noomi Rapace. She played Lisbeth exactly the way I imagined her. Both movies, although they left out some things, stuck very close to the novel. And the central theme of men who abuse women and get away with it was brought out very well.

    Loved the movie

    by dpearl180

    Great characters, very interesting and engrossing plot, some difficult to watch scenes but very good viewing. I highly recommend. Also, if you haven't seen the first of this series "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" go see it.

    A pretty good movie, with good performances. But the plot is a bit confusing. I saw the first movie, but if I hadn't, I'd have been totally lost.

Surprisingly Great Sequel Why Fandango editor Chuck Walton call this movie an invigorating, foreign language cross between 'La Femme Nikita' and 'The Da Vinci Code'.
