The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Great flick

First of all, this movie is quite long. But the pacing is quick enough for you to forget the long running time. The acing is great and cinematography is wonderful. The plot did get confusing at times, but it was ok, overall. Better than I expected.

If you like crime related films this is a must watch!

This English version with Daniel Craig is world class, whereas the Swedish trilogy is a set of facile cheap thrillers, with nothing of the character of the books. As in the Lord of the Rings, the adaption involves some bold re-working, which actually maintains and strengthens the character of the original book. Why aren't we seeing the completion of this much more authentic rendering of the Salander story?

David Fincher never lets you down. The film is just great. Was a bit disappointed with the ending though.

Plagiarism is for the untalented,the unimaginative, the greedy, the lazy and the morally bankrupt! Its an exact copy, but without Noomi's icy rage or the other wonderful Swedish actors. Honestly the arrogance of Hollywood assuming that by throwing buckets of money around, it improves someone else's work!

I haven't seen the original and i couldnt care as i LOVED this movie!!!! Much better than i was expecting!!

Seen this movie and I don't want to because the original couldn't really be improved on, plus the original trilogy of these films is already out now , so why wait for an overblown Hollywood effort of a film that didn't need a reboot when the movies are there already out ? .. In the words of Moe: Don't make no sense ( shrugs shoulders )

This movie is mind blowing,incredible,outstanding,dark,sinister, the best movie ever made ! I'm in love with it now I watch it over and over .Rooney Mara is outstanding in her performance just incredible .Daniel Craig played his part extremely well in this fabulous crime/thriller/drama I can't wait for the next two to be made ! .

For me the books where never anything more than a good page turning thriller. Nothing more, nothing less. Contrary to most people's view I enjoyed this movie more than the original effort. Acting sits at the heart of this. Craig is outstanding as the main character. And while Salander is a more powerful character in the original she fails for me to portrait reckless frailty. The balance between all character is better here. Overall both films manage to keep the suspense of a good complex thriller, and that is all they are. Thrillers. The production value, the acting and the absence of subtitles make this for me the better movie. The only drawback here is that you only get 1 movie, while from the original you get all three.
