48 of 48 · most liked firstMy ★★★½ review of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest boxd.it/aTHpiZ Exposing conspiracy 30+ yrs in past, Lisbeth sometimes feels like footnote in own story. More methodical than exciting, finale ties up loose ends & give Lisbeth day in court. Less action, more seniors with secrets. #filmsky 📽

neutral · AI labelView post →The Swedish film version of the Millennium Trilogy (The Girl w/the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played w/Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest). SO much better than the lame version put out by Hollywood (Daniel Craig). No one is better than Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander. ✊

positive · AI labelView post →THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST had the absolutely most insane courtroom scene I've ever consumed. Does the Swedish system actually let you use cross examination to do your dang opening statement? Or allow you to call two OTHER witnesses in the middle of cross?
neutral · AI labelView post →I liked them, but YMMV, like any book. I know a big criticism of the original series was Stieg Larsson's style of writing. I think it's in The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest Lisbeth furnishes an apartment and you could open an Ikea catalogue and find each piece they're named so specifically.
neutral · AI labelView post →What's one book you think everyone should read before they die? Mine is The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson. The Girl Who Played With Fire is also a banger. I still need to read The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
neutral · AI labelView post →Not a celebrity but an author - Stieg Larsson - who wrote the Millennium Trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest). OMG, what great books. 🥰
neutral · AI labelView post →Something I didn't notice the first time I watched "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest" is that the old men of the conspiracy circle are surrounded by women (daughters, employees) trying to serve them tea, just existing in the background while they go on being awful.
neutral · AI labelView post →IMO, the best movies ever. The end of The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest (courtroom scene) was epic. I was pumping my fist and crying at the same time. 😁

The story was fascinating and held my attention. I could not put them down.
neutral · AI labelView post →I like those genres and urban fantasy. Yeah, that's the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo book. Book 3, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest is epic. The courtroom scene unbelievable. I've watched the Danish movies with Noomi Rapace as Lisbeth Salander. God, those films were good and all about misogyny.
positive · AI labelView post →I can think of 4: The Handmaid's Tale The Millennium Trilogy: - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo - The Girl Who Played with Fire - The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest
neutral · AI labelView post →Yep. The only movies I've ever seen that were as good as - maybe even superior - to the books were Ordinary People, and the Danish version of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest. Damn, those were good films. ☺️

neutral · AI labelView post →82/100 Extended Edition Because of her actions in the previous 2 parts of the trilogy, Lisbeth recovers in the hospital while powerful people are planning to have her committed for life as she now has the key to their secret conspiracies. This one is not an action film. In fact, Lisbeth spends practically the entire film in a hospital or court, and the film is mostly about Millennium magazine's efforts to exonerate her. At this point, however, the Lisbeth character has become so compelling…

I remember writing about it for my English Lit A Level 😁 I've had Stieg Larsson's "The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest" on my to-read pile since 2010 and still haven't got around to it. Really ought to finish the original trilogy at this point!

His last role was as Lisbeth Salander's guardian (the nice one, not the rapist) in THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE (2009) & THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNET'S NEST (2009) starring Noomi Rapace as The Definitive Salander.
