Fire, the Movie
Just after reading the book, The Girl Who Played With Fire, I went onto Amazon Video On Demand and watched the Swedish adaptation of the book. Let me tell you, this was in a large number of techniques pretty a let-down.
Yes, when I see a movie immediately after reading the book, I do expect some divergence from the original operates. I mean take a appear at Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings, two book to film adaptations that I felt were well-paced and captured the spirit of the author's intent.
Nevertheless, "Fire" does not do that properly. Pretty significantly each single subplot was cut out of the film. Literally! I can understand cutting out the Caribbean scenes from the book, but none of the betrayal inside the police investigation was ever shown. Nothing was explained about Salander's wealth nor why she suddenly got this huge 20 million Kroner home.
The choppy scenes and rapid cuts and tight dialogue created for an incredibly rushed first half.
The second half was better I consider for a couple of causes: the second half honed closely to Larsson's rendition -- the hunt for Zala, the blonde giant's fight with Paolo, the lesbian understanding with Salander, and so on., had been practically scene for scene from the book. There had been minor differences but absolutely nothing to quibble about.
The ending was very numerous from the book. Without giving away spoilers, in contrast to the book's ending, the police had been efficient and the doctor's had been forthright -- quite completely different!
Noomi Rapace as Salander and Michael Nygvist as journalist Blomkvist were good in reprising their roles. I definitely missed the subplots of the editor's secret supply, the males-hating investigators who wanted to get at Salander, and the police chief Bublanski coming across as a dense cop rather than in the book as the only cop who knew what was going on.
The film was bare-bones of what the book breathed and lost what I felt was the heart of the book. A couple of fantastic scenes, a decent ending, rushed plot. Average!
Can't wait for the American version!

Until I read the other reviews,I did not even know this was based on a book. That mentioned, if your like me, a Amazon Prime member you will see this title when searching for cost-free films to watch. Quantity two in the Trilogy continues the story, exactly where it left off in the initially. You will take pleasure in it if you have watched the initial one. Rather simple as that.
