I wish I had known that the original title of the book that this movie was based on was "Men Who Hate Women" because I wouldn't have watched the movie.
I have heard about this trilogy for quite some time and heard it be given a lot of praise. Well, in my opinion, it was not only about a subject matter I don't like to watch (men being violent with women), but it was just not a good movie in general. It was slow, boring, and the ending... well, the ending was so tacked on, one would think this came from Hollywood, not Sweden. The big "mystery" was solved in very contrived and unbelievable ways and in my opinion, few of the characters were compelling. If you are one of the people who thought this was a good movie (good enough to have an American version made), please explain what you liked about it.
