a5c7b9f00b The adventures of journalist Mikael Blomkvist and hacker Lisbeth Salander. As muchI loved the original film adaptation, and I definitely loved that, the six episode Swedish mini-series contains much more information, much more emotional depth and breadth, and is a much more rewarding experience for the viewer.<br/><br/>Even the addition of long slow closeups of Lisbeth Salander are filled with meaning, emotion, and add greatly to our understanding of her character and her history. Noomi Rapace knocked this one right out of the park. Often, her performance was so strong I found myself actually holding my breath.<br/><br/>With the additional scenes, not footage, by the way, actual intended scenes, we get more of the investigations, and that proves ultimately to be so much more rewarding.<br/><br/>The &quot;Millennium Trilogy&quot; may just end up being my all time favorite adaptation of one of my all time favorite series of novels. I finished reading the third book like a year before I watched this extended edition on a weekend.<br/><br/>The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - I rated it 8. It was good I liked it. The director condensed the book in a productive way. The movie was full of emotion. Definitely the best of the trilogy. It took away of the story unnecessary stuff like the sexual relationship of Mikael with one of the Vangers. It portrayed Lisbeththe book intended. Or I think so. A great cinematographic film.<br/><br/>The Girl Who Played With Fire - I rated it 7. The book is full of documents and stuff. New characters appearing every minute. This movie managed to cover all the investigation clearly, but lacks of emotion, the movie felt like they have a script of actions just being film in order. Didn&#39;t lime it much, but it is good. The fight of Paolo and The blond giantt was good, I found hilarious that Paolo is a real person Stieg Larsson wrote about and he was casthimself. <br/><br/>The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet&#39;s Nest - I rated it 8. I liked it more than Dragon Tattoo but Dragon Tattoo is better because all emotion of this film comes from dialogs. Has emotion and is fast. I would have rated it 9 if it wasn&#39;t for the last scene where the book&#39;s final meaning was changed. On the book Lisbeth finally let Blomkvist into her life. Here, it shows that Lisbeth decided to staya closed person and rejected him. I didn&#39;t liked this. I hope the Hollywood version gives a more satisfactory ending.<br/><br/>Bonus Disc&#39;s Stieg Larson&#39;s Documentary - You should try to watch it, this documentary explains the authors life and gives you a deeper meaning of the story.
