Read all the books. Skipped alot. The movies though are good. No Hollywood splash, just a good story. Great acting from main character. There is nudity and sexual violence and it is a Swedish movie so there is sex…rather explicit. But if you read the books, and even if you didn’t you will want to see the movies. I am looking forward to the third one. Does anyone know if it is out yet?

Yes, the hardcover and ebook are available at Chapters (the girl who kicked the hornet’s nest).
Hey Joanne, thanks. Do you know if the third movie is out? I found the last book rather long and I ended up skipping alot. What about you?
Hi Beth, I haven’t read the books yet. When I do I’ll let you know how I did or didn’t like them. We have satellite TV and the first two movies were on so I watched them. According to Wikipedia the 3rd movie was released in Canada this year but limited. DVD and Blu-ray due out in January 2011.
Also, an American version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is being filmed.
With Daniel Craig as Blomkvist – I didn’t recognize the name of the actress playing Salander.
We knew the American version was coming out, but I personally like the current ones. Love the female character and the journalist looks like an ordinary guy, not some gorgeous hollywood hunk. I enjoyed the books, the first one more so than the others as it was a quicker read. The last one, though it brought all the characters and events to a conclusion, was very long and drawn out in parts. I skipped a lot, so did Megan.
Thanks for subscribing to my blog. You are the first…the first is always special! 🙂
