I finished reading the third book like a year before I watched this extended edition on a weekend.
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo - I rated it 8. It was good I liked it. The director condensed the book in a productive way. The movie was full of emotion. Definitely the best of the trilogy. It took away of the story unnecessary stuff like the sexual relationship of Mikael with one of the Vangers. It portrayed Lisbeth as the book intended. Or I think so. A great cinematographic film.
The Girl Who Played With Fire - I rated it 7. The book is full of documents and stuff. New characters appearing every minute. This movie managed to cover all the investigation clearly, but lacks of emotion, the movie felt like they have a script of actions just being film in order. Didn't lime it much, but it is good. The fight of Paolo and The blond giantt was good, I found hilarious that Paolo is a real person Stieg Larsson wrote about and he was cast as himself.
The Girl Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest - I rated it 8. I liked it more than Dragon Tattoo but Dragon Tattoo is better because all emotion of this film comes from dialogs. Has emotion and is fast. I would have rated it 9 if it wasn't for the last scene where the book's final meaning was changed. On the book Lisbeth finally let Blomkvist into her life. Here, it shows that Lisbeth decided to stay as a closed person and rejected him. I didn't liked this. I hope the Hollywood version gives a more satisfactory ending.
Bonus Disc's Stieg Larson's Documentary - You should try to watch it, this documentary explains the authors life and gives you a deeper meaning of the story.
