After all, you had expected worse

Rating: 6/10 (6 March 2009)

If you haven't read Stieg Larsson's books in Sweden, you're excluded from all forms of social life here. The phenomena is strange to me, although I've of course also read the stuff. OK, you can't stop reading, but...
Anyway, here happens what almost always happens, which means the movie doesn't live up to the standards of the book. You sit through the 2,5 hours without problems, although its 0,5 hour too much.
Anyway, if you're from Sweden, you will laugh at the right places, but I doubt somebody from abroad, who hasn't read the books, will appreciate this that much. But Noomi Rapace as the mysterious Lisbeth Sallander really makes something good out her very weird character. It's not an easy part to play and it could easily have been something from the comics, but Rapace reminds you of a real human being. But a very strange one.
