Review of The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018) by Bkristman — 09 Nov 2018

I read the book maybe 6 months ago. The film adaptation is almost a totally different story ,barely recognizable .

To get anything out of it though you should have read all the books because it won't make sense otherwise.

The new story races along at break neck speed with almost no character development .

They drop Salander's I.Q about 70 points and take away much of her strength and independence.

The best things about the film are the cinematography which is cold,stark and beautiful and the film score which is tremendous. That was worth the 5 stars. The film itself was disappointing as it could have used another hr to flesh it out.

Maybe they'll make an extended version.
