Excellent movie. My friends were a bit split about it, but I thought it was pretty good overall and look forward to the sequel, "The Girl Who Played With Fire" coming out in 2013.
The rape scene was hard to watch and definitely made me uncomfortable but the overall story and movie was good.

be glad. i saw it. they used a lot of different book material for it but honestly, if i hadn't read the book, i'd have been SO confused. it was weirdly disjointed and just.. bad. but again i had read the book and watched the swedish film before watching the american one and i knew i'd hate the american one going in. i was like ok it's time to try not to hate hit girl in this.

Haven't seen either movie, but just finished the book. The story was great, the translation into English for the book was a little lacking. Frequently I felt like I was reading a news report of the action, it was all very impersonally written. I think some elements were lost in translation.

This is also why I rather watch BBC original programming instead of the US butchered version for most TV shows. Now if only they would quit spamming Top Gear on BBCA, I might be quite content.

i've really turned into an original snob ever since i got into anime. i don't want to watch a remake of anything from another country. esp not if the original is like 1 year old.

do you ever think that somewhere in the world there are little asian kids refusing to watch remakes of american movies?
like that mel gibson movie what women want really needed to be remade in korean
it's also pretty dumb that hollywood isn't taking any risks with releasing original movies, everything is remade or tailored to suit a safe bet so that they make a profit. i think something like 96% of the movies released have been rehashed material lately. it's bland and boring.

I'm not into anime but I also prefer originals to remakes for just about anything. Hey, I break that rule all the time and watch some remakes, (sometimes I even like the a little)---- but when it comes to foreign films and cultural concepts in story telling, the remake can really kill a story.

i'll watch remakes but generally only if they're remaking an old american movie. the dawn of the dead remake is good and the fright night remake is great. but yeah i'm not gonna watch an american remake of a foreign film/tv show/whatever just because i don't want to read subtitles or listen to an accent. that's retarded.
have you watched any of the shows on bbca that totally have subtitles even though they're in english already? i saw a bit of a skins episode that had subtitles on bbca and i couldn't stop laughing. it was perfectly understandable to me. which is good because i watched it years before bbca ran it. they censored the hell out of it too.

Top Gear is a great show, and I agree that I'd rather watch the UK originals than the "OMG WE'RE GOING TO STEAL YOUR POPULAR STUFF" US versions.
UK Changing rooms, I loved to watch years ago... they were never afraid to say. "OMG, this is utter crap! I can't believe you did this to my home!"

Just saw it tonight.
Pretty well done. The gal playing Lisbeth was very good in some different ways than Noomi in the original was. That is, I liked them both but in different ways.
Overall, I liked Dan Craig as Bloomkvist better than the Swede in the original but thought the Swedish version kept the same vibe as the book better than this one did.
Should be a good two next movies, as well, if they can keep the screenplay quality up.
Still need more coffee and sandwiches.
