I feel sorry for those of us who read the book; and for those of you who didn't, you must have been very confused.
shareSadly, I do not understand this post. I have not read the books and, having watched the first two films, had a perfect understanding of the conclusion. What is there not to understand?

Actually, there was a ton of filler in the third book. Had Larsson lived it would likely have been heavily edited before publishing to focus on the key plots and not get lost in so many subplots. The movie thankfully cut the excess fat. It's one of the few times where the movie is better than the book.
"My name is Paikea Apirana, and I come from a long line of chiefs stretching all the way back to the Whale Rider."
The book (all 3 but particularly this one)is overflowing with deadwood and pointless back tracking over the same old points.
I haven't seen the film but I can imagine they struggled to find enough interesting stuff to pad it out.
The past was yours, but the future's mine
I completely disagree. They took SO much out that the movie barely made sense:
- Bublanski pretty much disappeared
- I can see why they would need to lose the entire Berger subplot, but they didn't need to turn her into a completely different character
- the entire Figuerola subplot was gone (not to mention miscasting, although without her subplot, what does it matter)
- all the detail about the Section
I agree. And the movie totally failed to capture the whole cat-and-mouse game between the Section and the Millennium/Milton/Constitutional Protection alliance, which was one of the best parts of the book.
sharethey actually left so much out, i am outrages! the fact that they cut the trial down to that pathetic two minuets was shameful after how it was written in the book. i wish they had shown the M+F relationship and Lisbeth going back to Mimi in Paris at the end. I liked the first two movies, but this one was *beep*
hello ms tattoo girl, you are forever stuck with me <3.
I'm watching the film this weekend, but I found this book the hardest to read of the three. Around 200 pages of the 600+ page novel were extraneous detail and history lessons that were not needed or relevant to the storyline. And lord knows how many cups of coffee and sandwiches were consumed. If I were to read this book I think I could read the first 200 pages, then skip to the last 200 pages and have a better read. It was brutal, flew throught the first half of the book, then got bogged down in the middle, then the ending picked back up again. I agree to those that said this book would have been HEAVILY edited had Larsson not passed away.
You people and your slight differences disgust me.
