      Shot at the same time as Flickan som lekte med elden (2009).
    • Goofs
      When Lisbeth is in the operating room, the bullet is removed from the left side of her brain, as depicted by the frontal view X-ray that is hung on the X-ray view box, which shows the bullet on the left side of her head (viewer's right side). After her surgery, the operative side of Lisbeth's head (as demonstrated by the dressing and her shaved head) is the right side.

    bad screenplay for such an amazing novel
    What makes the novel series so good and special is how each event intertwines with another event in a unique way. Though it is hard to maintain everything at once in an adaptation, this movie ruins the most important thing, course of events, just to keep the duration short. And then the already limited time is wasted on unnecessary scenes such as those with Niedermann, who only plays a small role in the original story while the Section is barely shown in the film. Not to mention the absence of some key characters and important details like the source of wi-fi in Lisbeth's pocket PC, which creates missing points for people who haven't read the book or forgot some of it.

    The movie, as a result, is both shallow and complex at the same time - for the readers, it is not satisfactory; for others, it doesn't make much sense. I think it had to be split into two parts with a more carefully written script, because this plot deserved it.
