"The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets Nest": Thank God it's over . . . .

Posted by mr grits on February 9, 2011 at 19:07:31:
Made it through this third and final episode of this Scando trilogy about the mysterious and hostile Lisabeth Salander who became the pet of Blomkvist, chief writer of 'Millenium Magazine'.

I found the first episode the most interesting since Lisabeth story was buried in the background. In episode two we meet Lisabeth's father who is a defected Soviet spy who has been given unlikely upkeep by the Swedish government to keep him alive in exchange for his silence (?). Plus, we learn what an ultimate scumbag he is. Then, finally, Lisabeth is fighting for her life against a hidden element of government, a half-brother who is a giant, and a psychiatrist bent on getting her back inside a hospital.

This trilogy has so many characters and plot tributaries it is not worth trying to keep straight. I suppose the Scandos like this sort of thing which made it a big success along the order of the "Pusher" triology.

I must say that Salander is one of the only female trilogy protagonists that does not launch the remotest masturbatory fantasy even with knowing she likes girls and has one brief on-screen encounter. She is the most unlikely heroine of any film I've seen. I feel sure the American version will be better just by default.

Take a powder and skip this one.
