4. Ljud & Bild

5 / 10

Translated from swedish: If you view "The Girl in the Spider's Web: A Dragon Tattoo Story" as a pure popcorn action film, you'll encounter many exciting scenes. We were particularly fascinated by the original ending and a couple of adrenaline-pumping car chases.

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: "The Girl in the Spider's Web: A Dragon Tattoo Story" is a film for those curious about what happened next, even though it doesn't really provide many answers to that particular question. The visuals are often impressive, and the pace is fast, but I would have preferred a more dignified continuation and a better possible conclusion for Stieg Larsson's heroine Lisbeth Salander.

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: The film is, on one hand, fascinatingly gritty, chillingly beautiful, and genuinely painful, but it also feels a bit hollow.

8. Filmtopp

4 / 10

Translated from swedish: For the team behind "The Girl in the Spider's Web: A Dragon Tattoo Story", the most important thing seems to have been creating heart-pounding action sequences. And indeed, one or two car chases are quite well done. It also becomes fairly exciting when Lisbeth is forced to save and protect the son of the creator behind the sought-after computer program.

9. Aftonbladet

2 / 10

Translated from swedish: Filmmakers are lazy. Digital technology and surveillance cameras are used to take shortcuts. Yet the simple plot is convoluted, hard to understand, and contradictory. The film goes from silly to sillier.
