Observer
Oliver Jones | Nov 8, 2018
"Not simply a worthy addition to David Fincher’s vastly under-appreciated "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" franchise (they’re calling it a “soft reboot,” but there’s nothing soft about it), The Girl in the Spider’s Web is also a top-shelf Batman movie. For good measure, it kicks the butt of the last few Bourne installments too." ... Read full review

Josh Kupecki | Nov 7, 2018
"The plots of these films and stories, and so much of Scandinavian crime fiction in general, often rely too heavily on coincidence and chance, be they serial killers or multinational cutthroats. And while this chapter of Lisbeth’s life is similarly convoluted, they are dark and gritty and compelling. " ... Read full review

Tim Grierson | Nov 2, 2018
"Lacking the freshness of the original trilogy or the meticulous, insidious tone of Fincher’s film, Spider’s Web mostly feels like a holding action to ensure that more sequels can be made in the future. That timidity flies in the face of this series’ inherent edginess." ... Read full review

"The stars were misaligned from the start for this frantic, turgid thriller. That’s no knock on Ms. Foy, who might have surprised us if she’d had a different director working from a different script under a different set of studio imperatives that didn’t involve extracting blood from a very cold stone.

Apart from a continuity issue with the bathwater I couldn't fault it.… Expand

She is extremely smart, resourceful and mentally and physically strong. In this latest installment of the franchise, she must stay on her toes in order to stay alive and keep those she cares about from harm. Some of her feats are a bit hard to believe. The timing of a couple of her rescues and all the pieces that ust fall into place are not wholly believable. But, if you like strong women characters and fast paced action, this is a great film for you. I enjoyed it and was completely entertained.… Expand

Solid enough thriller without being memorable. The conversion of Lisbeth from anti-hero hacker to action star just doesn't quite payoff.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, if you are expecting this film to be like the book, you will be disappointed. I expected more and although I did read the book I was not expecting a carbon copy. Two of the biggest problems were the editing, and the story. Production values were pretty good. I liked the coldness of Sweden and it was captured very well. The airport scene was pretty fake but I could live with that. The story itself was not as good as the book but at the same time I only gave the book 2 and a half stars on goodreads. Lets face it, David Lagercrantz is no Stieg Larsson, not even close! The screenwriters made it even worse. I also need to add that they changed Lisbeth's story. According to Stieg Larsson, Lisbeth and her sister were sent to foster homes after she set her father on fire. In this story the sister lived with the father afterwards. It made no sense because of what I already knew about Lisbeth's past. So yeah, had to take points off for that one. Now to the acting. I love Clair Foy but she is no Lisbeth Salander. And although she was the only one in the film that could act, she was not believable as Lisbeth. Sverrir Gudnason as Mikael Blomkvist was another fail. It seemed to me that he played no real part because the stuff he did, Lisbeth could have done herself. Sylvia Hoeks as Camilla Salander was lame because Camilla was supposed to be drop dead beautiful. The most laughable was having Andreja Pejić as Lisbeth's lover. She used to be a male but is now a female. She still has an adam's apple for god's sake! And it was so obviously a political move to have her there. Thanks Hollywood, lol.

So overall, I'm not impressed at all. I give it 3 out of 10 and that's for the scenery/production, but that's it. I do not recommend this film, especially if you have to pay to see it. It'll be on TV soon enough. It's the kind of show you can watch on a Sunday when you're hungover from the night before.… Expand

While the original had a great male lead in Daniel Craig, This reboot has Stephen Merchant and a few other no names attached that fail to bring the presence that Craig had in the original. And the subpar story is filled with weak action scenes that fail to excite and a plot that has a pretty bland and straightforward "mystery".

This isn't the sequel/reboot we should have gotten and it's a shame for them to bury a promising franchise all because they wasted years putting out a sequel.… Expand
