    My ★★★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 📽

    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. ✊

    I've already seen the English remake but I watched the original Swedish one last night and it's pretty dang good. I also started watching the sequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and then there's a third one after that: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • Dr Nostromo @Dr_NostromoTMDB reviews · Dec 31, 2025

    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…

    Tragically, Per Oscarsson and his wife died in a house fire in 2010. 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.
