The Girl... Trilogy (Extended Versions Edition) (4 Discs)

This is absolutely the most perfect set of thrillers ever made, very true to the books, gritty and real and rich with detail, very sexual and violent at times but visually stunning and the stories really keep you interested, the cast is amazing especially the lead actress, having seen the brilliant remake with Rooney Mara its fair to say she did an amazing job and both deserve to be seen. If your curious to watch these movies dont be put off by the subtitles you could always watched the dubbed English versions on the disc, these are massively extended too and look great on bluray

Having thoroughly enjoyed the books I bought the extended DVD trilogy. We watched each 3-hour film dubbed in English rather than in Swedish with subtitles and were completely absorbed. The films were 90+ % true to the books. Acting, scenary and atmosphere were superb. Books and films have been the most gripping I have come accross for a long time. If you bought the 2 hour versions I feel you may have well missed out.

*This is a great trilogy that is very well made. The story is hard hitting and full of substance.
*If you missed these DVD's the first time this is a great opportunity to catch up. This time the each film has been split into 2x 90 minute parts (6 parts & 9 hours in total). This makes it easier to watch as the original films could be quite heavy going. Each part has a recap making it feel almost like a television boxset.
*The films stay very close to the books but a few bits have been missed out but i feel this is due to the fact the films are long enough already. The first film is the best individual film as the sequels are made to carry on from the first film, even so they are still great films. Overall a boxset well worth buying.

I don't know what Trilogy "danieldavidf" was watching but it obviously wasn't the same one as "sdx800" and myself. German subtitles ???

I would have to agree with "sdx800" 110%,I thought the "whole cast" were exemplorary and it was as close as to the books as could be. There was some background missing, but if you haven't read the books you would be none the wiser and this didn't take anything major away from the plots in the films. If it takes you 8 hours to read a book, youv'e done extremely well to precis that down to 2 hours without losing hardly anything, and although I haven't watched the American version, just cannot see daniel craig and the American actress pulling it off, although I will give it and them the opportunity to prove me wrong.
Although American subtitles,again you have to market to the masses, but I think the acting was so good you didn't really notice.

I am somewhat confused because, the 4 x discs, with a mere time duration of just over 2 hours, from Play.Com, showed about 65% of a previous version I had seen, with German sub-titles! Furthermore, I had read all 3 books, written by Stieg Laarson, and too much of the original stories was missing from my purchased DVDs. Had I not read the books, or seen a far better and longer version of this trilogy, I would have been completely lost as to the plot. In truth, the 4 x dics I purchased, was a total waste of money. Duration: 9 hours and 55 minutes! I truly beg to differ! Totally disappointed and would never recommend to anyone, to buy the Girl... Trilogy.
