The budget and quality of the much anticipated Stieg Larsson's trilogy seemed to be declining with each sequel. I had wanted to give up on following the last of its installment since they simply took too much time (2.5hrs of screentime), but managed to convince myself that it might follow the same trend as Lord of the Rings. Wrong, I was.
This time, apart from the metaphorical meaning of the title, kicking the hornet's nest, there's simply no link to the story whatever. Lisbeth, the girl with the dragon tattoo, the wiped-out disturbed hacker girl is back again... this time recuperating in the hospital, taking off from where it stopped in its prequel, The Girl Who Played with Fire. Charged with several murder charges, it's up to Mikael, her beau reporter to get her out of the ordeal.
*spoilers ahead* The robotic villian is back in this sequel but plays a minor role in the entire movie. Though there were several spillover characters from the previous series, they didn't enjoy much screentime, yet will potentially be able to confuse anyone who skipped the previous installments. To sum it up, it's not a movie you wanna start off with if you haven't caught the previous 2, heck, it's not even a good movie to spend your time on. Even after watching all 3 parts of it, I'm still quite lost in the storyline, and it's not even interesting enough to spur my curiosity to research about it.
Only refreshing part of the movie? It's swedish.
