The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest

Well the second week of movies kicked off. My thoughts on the matter are as follows.
I had no idea about this film, it was a conclusion to two other movies prior to this one (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Girl who played with fire) and I missed the first two parts, so there was a whole back story that I was not clued in on. Not much a fan of subtitle movies. Too much reading I guess. It was a long movie, which in the end was a good thing, because after a while I stopped being pissed off with having to read while at the theatre and I just sat back and took in the visuals of the movie, in which case, I thought that it was a movie of close-ups, everything being very subtle in the acting, making you work for what’s going on the characters mind. I even took notice of the light, which I thought was very natural, with hints of the whole movie covered in a realistic and fantasy world. It wasn’t an American film, which was clear, otherwise, every main character, would of been this sexy model, I felt that the characters, where real and not plastic. The story, not being very action packed, like the trailer suggests, but it didn’t seem to dull of, many stories going at the same time, keeps in the audience engaged.
I’ll be interested to see what the American film makers do to these three films.
