The girl who kicked the hornet's nest.

After having enjoyed the 3 books and the first 2 movies in the trilogy, I was really looking foward to this one. In my opinion, the third book was the most interesting of the stories, and that may well have been the problem.
This movie was a disappointment. It lacked the gritty freshness of the first movie and the excitment and action of the second and just seemed to limp towards a fairly predictable finish.
If you haven't read the books and seen the first two movies in the series, don't even bother trying to understand this one. The actual story in the book is excellent. It is however complex, with lots of different characters and a plot that bounces between past and present. While it's a good read, it's too difficult to explain in a movie, with brief sub titles. There is also the problem that action heroine, Lisbeth, spends the first half of the movie in hospital and the second half in court. Not much action!
All the bad guys get their just rewards and Lisbeth just goes on being interesting, introverted and hard to love.
