Kick ****. Seriously considering getting the trilogy to watch it again back to back.

    I'm waiting for NF on this one. Loved the first one, was disappointed in the 2nd...looked like a made for TV version. Come to find out it was. The concept was to release the first book as a major motion picture with all the trimmings. The 2nd and 3rd books were to be a 9 hour mini-series (which was broadcast). So what we see as the 2nd and 3rd films are edited down versions of the mini-series. I believe that somebody is releasing a full set of extended movie and the complete 9 hours of TV with English subs in April. I'm tempted to wait.

    Combo rig:

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)
    SDA 1C, CS400i, SDA 2B

    I was disappointed at the 2nd one, The Girl Who Played With Fire, too.

    I did like the second one, though not as much as the first one. The third one brings many things together.

    I was thinking....for someone that has not seen the first two, seeing the third one would be like the worst movie ever :smile:

    These movies are sub titled or do you all understand Swedish?

    "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience. Measurements can provide a measure of insight, but are no substitute for human judgment. Why are we looking to reduce a subjective experience to objective criteria anyway? The subtleties of music and audio reproduction are for those who appreciate it. Differentiation by numbers is for those who do not".--Nelson Pass Pass Labs XA25 | EE Avant Pre | EE Mini Max Supreme DAC | MIT Shotgun S1 | Pangea AC14SE MKII | Legend L600 | BlueSound Node 3 - Tubes add soul!

    They are dubbed and subbed. I wouldn't recommend the dubbed version, there's a huge disconnect between the dubbed actor voices and ability vs. watching it in Swedish and reading the subs. After a short while you hardly need to read them to understand what's going on.
