It's as if The Girl In The Spider's Web got stuck in a web of mediocrity. Don’t get me wrong, this movie is perfectly fine. The performances? Fine. The directing? Fine. The plot? Ok, that one is a little rough around the edges. The point is, this is a completely watchable film - but in this case, "serviceable" borders on "bland." And standard is probably not the best approach for such a unique and enigmatic character like Lisbeth Salander. Not helping matters is the fact that the impending twists and discoveries are all fairly predictable by the end. I will also say there is wayyyyy too much computer hacking for one movie. Seriously, the yearly cinematic computer hacking quota has been filled! Here's hoping if they spin out another instalment, the third time will be the charm.
