I think it is a great entry point for a new audience. It is not a direct continuation of the third book. If I had made the second or third it would have been a direct continuation of the first story. Because it is a continuation of her story of her chapter of rape and revenge. Particularly not with a different cast. You cannot refer to events in a previous film with a different cast and a different director.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a psychological crime thriller film based on the novel of the same name by Stieg Larsson. The film is the first installment in the Dragon Tattoo Stories series. This film adaptation was directed by David Fincher and with a screenplay by Steven Zaillian. Starring Daniel Craig as journalist Mikael Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander , it tells the story of Blomkvist's investigation to find out what happened to a woman from a wealthy family who disappeared 40 years prior.

While Craig as Blomkvist seems like a logical bit of casting although it can be argued the actor is too good-looking to fit Larsson's description of Blomkvist , the casting of Mara as the hard-as-nails Salander is a bit more ironic, given that the actress is actually a wealthy heiress - pretty much the furthest thing from Salander's traumatic origins. Still, director David Fincher has had nothing but praise for his leading lady, which speaks to Mara's skill as an actress, if she's been able to convincingly inhabit a skin so foreign to her own. At the very least, she looks the part of Salander - arguably in more fitting fashion than Swedish actress Noomi Rapace did in the Swedish film version. We won't know for sure if Mara can convey those abstract qualities of Salander in proper manner until we see some footage from the film, but as far as physical appearance goes, she has nailed the character better than Rapace, in my opinion.
