  • User's comment:Exciting thriller, although unable to keep up with its predecessor by denglidendekop

    Perspective: I am 25, Danish (thus understanding Swedish) and have not read the books.

    "The Girl Who Played with Fire" continues smoothly from were "Men Who Hate Women" left off, and lets you easily connect with the core characters. Salander, Blomkvist and the Millennium crew are as usual exposing the darker sides of society and confronting the perpetrators, while Salander being under pressure from all directions.

    Where the cruelty and surprises of its predecessor were essential for making it stand out among thrillers, I find this movie more mainstream in storyline and creativity. Salander has lost some of her mysterious goth charm, and the sex trafficking theme is only touched very softly, turning the movie into a regular investigation with a familiar cast of characters.

    The movie is worth watching, but it's my impression that you should rather read the book first, to get a much deeper insight in the great novel.
