"The Girl..." trilogy


The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl who Kicked a Hornets Nest.

Finally saw the third movie today. I can't quite put into words just how much I love all three books, as well as all three movies. I highly recommend you all check them out.

My wife read em and said the movies are subtitled. Never watched em though. She mentioned they are intense.

i liked first movie mostly, the two others were alright. haven't read the books. like most internationally successful scandinavian movies they're being remade in english. by david fincher in this case so it probably will be decent but it's worth it to check out the swedish ones anyway. the lead actors are good and sweden is a good backdrop for movies imo.

I've liked the first 2 movies so far. Haven't read the books yet. I'll see when Hornet's Next is on Netflix streaming.

For once, I decided to watch the movies before reading the books so they weren't ruined for me, as so often happens. I loved them all, but I would pick "..Dragon Tattoo" as my favorite.

I don't know why they're remaking them. I have low expectations for the films, as I usually do when American studios remake foreign shows and movies I love. They usually end up dumbed-down and inferior. The Swedish films are available both sub-titled and dubbed in English, so why bother remaking them? I prefer to watch it sub-titled as I like to hear the emphasis and emotion in the dialogue in its original language.
