Review of The Girl in the Spider's Web (2018) by Imthenoob — 17 Jan 2019

The quality across the board (cast, writing and directing) suffers a major drop off and it shows throughout the movie. Foy doesn't even compare to Mara and feels very out of place. While the original had a great male lead in Daniel Craig, This reboot has Stephen Merchant and a few other no names attached that fail to bring the presence that Craig had in the original. And the subpar story is filled with weak action scenes that fail to excite and a plot that has a pretty bland and straightforward "mystery".

This isn't the sequel/reboot we should have gotten and it's a shame for them to bury a promising franchise all because they wasted years putting out a sequel.
