A favorite trilogy of ours is the one by Sieg Larsson. We call it “The Dragon Series”, but it consists of three books, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo,” “The Girl Who Played with Fire,” and “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest.” The books were later made into movies, and therein lies the debate – who did the best job as the main character, “Lisbeth Salander” ?
I just tried to look up the three movies and their casts, and it’s confusing, to say the least. The bottom line is that the main male character was played by Michael Nyqvist and then by Daniel Craig. We think Michael Nyqvist did the better job.
There were three actresses who played Lisbeth Salander: Noomi Rapace, Roony Mara, and Claire Foy. Each was interesting, but we like Noomi Rapace better. We haven’t seen her in anything else, and the other two actresses have each been in several other things.
If you haven’t read the books and seen the movies, dive in. They are a real experience. If you HAVE, please join the debate.
