alright, i can finally see this movie
An excellent movie overall, worthy film adaptation of an excellent book. I'm a huge fan of the millenium trilogy, Rooney Mara's performance exceeded by far my expectations.

Just came back from watching this, probably the best movie I've seen in a while. I hope Fincher, Reznor and Ross work together on the sequels.
as soon as i saw the cat i knew bad things were going to happen to it
What bad did the cat ever do :(

So apparently they are also remaking "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest"?
I liked the Swedish version a lot better to be honest. It simply felt a lot more authentic. Usually I don't like Swedish movies that much, but the Swedish version is simply a masterpiece. I also didn't really like the way they used English while being in Sweden, I mean this in the way they executed this. It looked very silly when people in Sweden talked in English on the news, in private, when the really old people spoke perfect English, and the old newspapers were written in English. If you're going to make an English movie based in another country while taking part of their culture, make all the main characters speak English, and make everyone else (unless they're in a situation where it makes sense) speak their home language.
[QUOTE=Hattiwatti;34432655]So apparently they are also remaking "The Girl Who Played with Fire" and "The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest"?[/QUOTE] I hope so, but only with Fincher on board.
At least Wikipedia and other sites say that they'd be directed by him. [editline]29th January 2012[/editline] [quote] Along with Dragon Tattoo, Fincher and Zaillian have signed a two picture deal to also adapt The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornets' Nest, which will be shot back to back. In January 2012, it was announced that Sony was "moving forward" with the adaptation of The Girl Who Played with Fire, with Zaillian in the early stage of scripting it for a planned release in late 2013.

I didn't like it much at all, the Swedish one was a lot better. This one felt way too americanized, the Swedish theme did not make a lot of sense, the rapist in the Swedish version was a lot better at playing disgusting, the ending was unnecessarily long and she was not as emotionally attached to Blomkvist in the Swedish version, the russian/polish accents on most people bothered the living fuck out of me. I also feel the Swedish version was better filmed, it felt less staged. [editline]29th January 2012[/editline] As someone who loved the original movie, this one just felt bad.
I liked them both in their own way. I feel the american version a little american as the sweedish version I felt expressed how f*cked up the swedish system is. But I felt the 2nd and third movies to be a little dry in the middle, ([sp]not during the action parts. Like in the second film... [/sp] [sp]the one where the minor characters are in the barn with the chainsaw[/sp])

The only thing I didn't enjoy about the american version was the actress for Erika Berger. Jesus christ, what a bad actress (maybe it was the forced accent)
Ahahaha the official DVD: [img]http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/17h5c9bux5n7bjpg/original.jpg[/img]
Pretty cool cover. I guess now that it was bumped I'll mention my opinion on the movie. I haven't read the books and watched the Swedish movie(s). I guess I preferred that because it allowed to me have no bias towards any other source. I didn't mind the Swedish-English Sweden, but the accents sometimes didn't feel natural. I enjoyed most of the film, especially [sp]when the investigation started to move somewhere[/sp], but I was sadly disappointed when [sp]Martin (no surprise for me here, I remember his actor playing a few bad guys) turned to be just another serial killer with a dungeon. I guess there wasn't much else to reveal when Lisbeth discovered the truth in the archives. I just hoped they would explain why the old murders where biblical oriented. Or that they would be more than just kills for fun.[/sp] That was really my only problem with the film so overall I can recommend it.
Just saw it, pretty awesome.
