Hornet’s Nest offers weak franchise finale

The final film based on Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy, more casually known as The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series, goes out with a whimper instead of a bang. The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest picks up immediately where The Girl Who Played with Fire left off, transforming the taut, action-packed murder mystery into a conspiratorial courtroom drama that feels far less urgent and compelling than it ought to.

It is the perfect follow up to 2009’s multiplatinum hit Fearless. Speak Now is bursting with songs that touch on Swift’s standard themes of romance, heartbreak and regret, all delivered in her signature style of soft country rock infused with traces of twangy electric guitar, mandolin accents and fiddle. It is a formula that has worked wonderfully for her, why change it now?
