Atom User Reviews for The Girl in the Spider's Web

No build-up of the characters to appreciate any revenge scene, especially the opening vengeance scene. Left unconnected.

Great camera work , acting, and storyline

I read the books and after “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” I didn’t know what to expect. This cast was exactly what I expected in the first one. They got it so right! There was enough action so you weren’t bored, but the story line was good as well. There was even an “Oh…

Wasn’t bad but wasn’t good, I counted at least 5 sins or inconsistencies

The original Swedish trifecta are still the best, but this one comes a bit too distant 2nd place. Never ever go see the English version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo; it was a poor adaptation of the original!!

it was great!!

Never a dull moment!

Changed from the book

The biggest downfall of this sequel is that they didn't use any of the same actors from Girl with a dragon tattoo, so not all of the characters were believable.

It was awesome

Being an person that has read the novels. seen all the films including Fincher's attempt at it, I must say this was disappointing. The main character was perfectly cast but the script gave her nothing to work with just a terrible script with decent cinematography but…

loved it. a little hard to fall some of the tech scenes & drug scenes if you haven't read the book, but very enjoyable. love Claire Foy. great actor

Didn't know what to expect from this one, but I enjoyed it well enough, more than I thought I would. The bad guy is freakin' fantastic. Oof!

Really liked Claire Foy, best movie of the year.

Nothing happened that was not in the trailer.

Doesn’t live up to its prequel, but def a must see. It’s really interesting!

it was a banger

rocks! Claire Foy is a chameleon and a genius actor here. Thumbs up!

they used all new characters.... but the movie was still good

Surprisingly online with the three original movies.

a lot better than I thought. hadn't seen original [dragon tattoo]. and I'm going to soon.

Good movie. One tough woman!

Awesome movie! Specially for Lisbeth Salander lovers.

Jason Bourne'ish with non stop action, story line seems familiar somehow....is it worth seeing? yes...

Great Movie!

Much better than the review in Entertainment mag led me to believe. So happy I saw it in the theatre!! And I’d recommend it.

Really wanted to love it, as I loved the earlier movies. Claire Foy was fantastic, but the script was weak and the movie pushes"suspension of disbelief" too far.

Awesome movie!

Good plot that keeps you wondering what’s going to happen

The plot was detailed but fairly easy to follow if you pay attention. The script was very well done, but the acting & cinematography was not quite as intriguing as The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. It is definitely worth seeing.

Sloppy and poorly thought out “save the world” plot.

nonplussed. dull. the trailer showed all the high points.

I love Claire Foy!

I was pleased to see the direction taken in the movie as a sort of refresher course, do I want to take it...no, probably not. Did I or rather will I return? Meh, unlikely. Not to snub the work put into the film, just an annoying opinion. Enjoy!

first one much better

I was definitely disappointed that the lead character did not demonstrate to be a skilled fighter or to be more tactical and savvy.

Foy did good but it should have been Rooney Mara. Good action, a little suspense but could have been really good. I expected more.

Great movie!!

wished they had the original cast members, maybe I would have been more drawn in. otherwise good flick

It could have been better.

There’s a really fantastic movie that might have been with this cast & these actors. I think it was a mistake turning Salandar into an action hero. The end felt a bit forced & formulaic.

I thought the critics where too tough on the movie and I love the Lisbeth Salander character.

As a who the movie was alright. a bit underwhelming on the action and suspense aspect. I did enjoy the clever tech use that was implemented. Well worth the early show/ matinee price. I wouldn't bother going during prime time if you can help it

would see again

This was disappointing. I’m a fan of the books. I’m a fan of Claire Foy. She was not able to show how well she develops a character due to the poor script. There was a ton of storyline in the book for almost all the characters. Way more than can fit in an hour and change…

If it wasn’t for Claire Foy, the movie wouldn’t be worth watching it.

Claire Foy holds her own in this sub-par attempt at rebooting the Millennium series. The film is...ok, but considering its source material was doomed to fail to a mediocre plot and underdeveloped characterization. Watching this movie, all I could think of was man, if only…

Really good movie ! Keeps your attention.

Wanted to like it. Like I liked the first one. Couldn’t!

Loved It!
