Loved this just as much as the first movie. Noomi Rapace is stunning in her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander. Kept me on the edge of my seat.

Acceptable

"The second movie in Larsson's trilogy remains faithful to the book, but suffers greatly from a change in directors. It is also 23 minutes shorter than the first and those minutes should have been used to more fully develop the new characters and their connections in the story. As it stands, the movie is a little hard to follow unless you have already read the book."

A bit murky and confusing, but still worth watching

"The second part of the movie adaptation of the Millennium trilogy is not a bad movie, but compared with the first installment (which I loved), it is quite murky and confusing (this was made by a different dirctor; if you haven't seen the first film many scenes are probably close to incomprehensible). Soon after the movie starts, Lisbeth Salander is on the run as she is accused of a murder she did not commit, chased not just by the police but also by a blond giant umpervious to pain that seems to be out from a role as a villain in a James Bond movie. Eventually, a man belonging to Lisbeth's past seems to be behind much of her troubles. Meanwhile, a second plotline (loosely connected with the first one) has a young colleague of Mikael Blomkvist along with his fiancé murdered when they were writing an expose of the international sex trade. Blomkvist has no choice but to continue their investigation. Fast, but much of what happens is too ugly to be very entertaining. Unlike the first part, this one ends in an inconclusive manner, with a lot of loose ends that will presumably be cleared up in the third part."

She's on the list

"Alien('s)(Ripley and the soldier), T2, Body Heat, you know the list. The tough broads. Hardcore kickass women. The kind you want when the going gets tough. Pioneer women. The Mexican woman in "The Professionals". Lisbeth is there. This is a great series. The books are great. The movies do as good a job as possible with the budgets given. Love it."
