Millennium 3: La reina en el palacio de las corrientes de aire

La trilogía se ha cerrado y desafortunadamente, todos aquellos que sucumbimos al encanto de las historias de Stieg Larsson nunca veremos la continuación. Leí los libros de un tirón y aunque las películas lógicamente recortaron mucho, considero que son las adaptaciones cinematográficas más exitosas. Solo temo la versión estadounidense. No entiendo en absoluto su sentido, solo se me ocurre que el público estadounidense no tiene acceso o no quiere tener acceso a películas europeas y, por lo tanto, los productores calcularon que esta trilogía podría ganar cientos de millones en el enfoque estadounidense. Para mí, Nyqvist y Rapace son insuperables y los mejores actores del continente americano o australiano no podrán alcanzar ese alto nivel. (19.03.2011)

After an absurd departure to a completely different type of plot after The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in The Girl Who Played with Fire, The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest is an epochal finale. The finale has it all. It has a captivating courtroom grand climax, everything connects and everything fits together, Lisbeth has a mohawk again, and every Lisbeth/Mikael shipper is satisfied at the end. If Fincher or someone after him gets this far, it's gonna be a big deal. Both series probably diverge the most in the middle, but I'll gladly wait for the dragons/spies connection. (12.01.2012)

The third installment of the Millennium trilogy brought the quality back up after the unfortunate second installment. Just like in the previous film, the acting performances were excellent throughout. The writing started to make sense again, and with it came great atmosphere. While it wasn’t as chilling as it was at the beginning, it was still powerful and compelling enough for the film to go up to another level. How great is it to just enjoy yourself without having to constantly think about how the story doesn’t add up and wonder why the death count is higher than in a world war. My idea of a good thriller: suspense, atmosphere, zero melodrama. Perfection! (05.01.2017)

The same characters are played by the same actors as in the first film, but the screenwriter and director are different, and perhaps that partly influenced the result, which is clearly more hesitant than Oplev's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Even the book is rated more reservedly, but the director left his mark on the film in several other areas as well. Lisbeth's stepbrother looks and acts like a 1960s James Bond, and I don't mean that as a compliment. The action scenes (fortunately there are few) reveal that Alfredson is not familiar with this genre. The criminal raids of rickety old men teetering between dialysis and death do not appear as dangerous and suspenseful as the film crew would like. Finally, the entire conspiracy, the complex plot that forces participants to commit more crimes many years after the fall of the Iron Curtain, seems somewhat exaggerated compared to the fact that it was covering up an inconsequential agent. Non-readers of the book, myself included, may be at a disadvantage compared to those who are familiar with Lisbeth's fate. Overall, it is a slightly above-average detective story that benefits from the popularity of the book series. However, if the Millennium books are anything like this, it begs the question of where the fantastic global success of the trilogy came from. Overall impression: 60%. (04.11.2013)

A decent conclusion to the trilogy, no more, nor less. The Swedish adaptation of “Millennium” peaked with the first part. (03.09.2010)
