From The Dispatch:

The film itself, though, is overlong and unwieldy, wrapping up its story then plodding on for 30 more minutes, essentially setting up the next installment of the trilogy, "The Girl who Played with Fire" (the Swedish version of which I actually liked better than the original "Dragon Tattoo"). There are certainly many terrific elements in Fincher's film — Mara's performance, the icy cinematography, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' chilling score, but the elements never really add up to a satisfying whole.
