While all the pieces are here to make a great addition to the Dragon Tattoo series... I still can't wrap my head around why they didn't stick to the original plan. Sure, David Fincher's version cost more and didn't make as much as one would expect - but it wasn't a total disaster, either. Re-casting the leads here, Claire Foy and Sverrir Gudnason take over as Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist just muddles things further. The plot is interesting, the effects are cool but I can't help but think of what may have happened instead. Fede Alvarez had even less luck than Fincher and I have a feeling this is the last of this excellent series we'll be seeing on the big screen.
