The individual protagonists were interesting, but the overall plot was just one giant cliche, along with the (evil, but unconvincingly so) villain. I enjoyed more the subplot with Lisbeth's revenge on the rapist, but it concluded early.

Rooney Mara is not as convincing playing Lisbeth, and the script is less cohesive compared to the original Girl With the Dragon Tattoo - too loose in parts and frenzied in others. Daniel Craig was excellent and I did enjoy the finale better, more The Thomas Crown Affair.
