Good movie, but book readers might be disappointed

Rating: 7/10 (5 January 2018)

This review is for those who have read the book and already know the story.
Having finished reading the book a couple of days before watching the movie, I'm not able to judge the latter for itself. All I can say is that it's got rhythm, the acting is very good and, overall, I could not find any problem with the movie.
On the other hand, I felt very disappointed by the changes it makes relatively to the book. As the book presents us with multiple simultaneous plots, the movie seems to take just the most generic one, the detective story, change a lot of things and show us, while throwing away all those things that distinguish the book in the detective genre. The movie's Lisbeth does things the book's one would never do, Mikael is also very different from what we see in the book, and some plot changes makes the story a more "normal" one, even though it's still good.
