Not a true sequel.

I disagree. A sequel doesn't have to pick up exactly where it left off in the previous film. They have some of the same characters and same settings. Even though critics panned it, they referred to it as a sequel.

The Girl in the Spider's Web sucked. It has a different director and a different cast. I do not consider it a true sequel like the original Swedish trilogy had sequels.

Dude died and didn't finish writing the other books he wanted to. Someone else took over and there was some disagreements on proceeding with the franchise.

Not true. He wrote a trilogy.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
The Girl who Played with Fire
The Girl who Kicked the Hornet's Nest

There is a Swedish version of all of them and they are excellent.

The books are also fantastic.

Well, I meant beyond the trilogy (you just mentioned) that were made into movies. My fault for not being clear.

[–] chilone (17278) 2 years ago

Right. Have you seen the Swedish ones?
