Aug 5, 20106Not nearly as good as the first movie, which I loved. It had none of the style, the drama, the intrigue. The fact that it has a different director is extremely apparent. Hopefully the third one will be a return to the greatness of the original.

Aug 27, 20105A major disappointment after the first installment. Slow (but not in a good way), rambling and with no real atmosphere, this plays like a mediocre (at best) miniseries lazily edited into a movie. There are trilogies with very strong middle parts (The Godfather II, Empire Strikes Back), but this is not the case here.

Feb 21, 20117Second part of Stieg Larsson's "Girl Who" trilogy. Not as good sequel to the brilliant first film but once again great casting & well acted & Noomi Rapace is outstanding. It's beautifully shot once again & one or two wincing moments but nowhere near as dark & mysterious as the first film.

Dec 12, 20107A great production for a masterful thriller full of twists and gripping suspense. Rapace and Nyqvist act as if the roles had been made for them and just leaves wanting to see more of this (luckily there is one more).

Dec 1, 20106Although the second installment doesn't feature as much tension and action as the first, The Girl Who Played With Fire still feature Noomi Rapace's excellent portray of Lisbeth Salander.

Jan 13, 20117Not as good as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but as the first one is a masterpiece thats understandable. The acting is still great but its the story that slightly lets this one down. Its a bit all over the place and not as easy to follow. However anything which expanded the story of the first movie makes this worth watching.

Sep 22, 20116This movie is the worst in the series It probably had to do with the director change. But it's worth watching because Noomi Rapace's Lisbeth Salender is just hypnotic.

Feb 22, 20126The Girl Who Played with Fire (2009): Interesting origin story, but the crime solving half of the story is fairly dull. The film also uses a lot of repetition from first movie, a sign of weak story telling.

88The Girl Who Played With Fire is very good, but a step down from "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," if only because that film and its casting were so fresh and unexpected.

83I found The Girl Who Played With Fire more gripping than "Dragon Tattoo," because this one doesn't just play with thriller conventions -- it puts them to work.

90Though the thriller is in the hands of a different filmmaking team this time led by Swedish director Daniel Alfredson and screenwriter Jonas Frykberg, they've kept the searing intelligence and ruthless bent.
