Thoroughly enjoyable film. It makes perfect sense
16 February 2023
I notice some people said it makes no sense. Nope if you've followed the other stories surrounding Lisbeth Salander a real hero/heroine for today then you'd get it. It's a tribute to the originals. The girl with the dragon tattoo, the girl who played with fire, the girl who kicked the hornets nest. They were the genius of Steig Larsson a Swedish author and political activist. He died when he was fifty of a heart attack. Sadly his books were just gaining popularity. He lived with his partner for three decades, as he wasn't talking to his family. Eva Gabrielsson was then basically screwed out of her rightful money. He left no will but the family swooped in. Horrible. So this was done as the fourth installment and it's pretty good. Claire Foy is really good as Lisbeth. I love Noami Rapace in the 3 Swedish films, but I think that it's a fitting tribute to the whole genre. The only one I didnt like was Daniel Craig version. He just didn't suit being Mikael Blomkvist, but Mara Rooney was good. They were in the American remake of the girl with the dragon tattoo. It really didn't need remaking. I just wanted people to know it's not just a random film and reading some of the user reviews they most certainly didn't do their research. I felt compelled to share so that people can see it's part of a series and I think they did a great job, and I like to think of it as a tribute to Steig and his fantastic series of books. This is an exciting film, beautifully shot, the actors all excellent in their roles. Even Steven Merchant as the scientist and father of a young boy. I won't tell you anymore. You're intelligent. Check it out it's a great film. A woman who kicks the ass of male abusers. We need more of this, but if you enjoyed it watch the others too.
