Brilliant and engrossing adaptation of the book. For those of you familiar with the Swedish films, this is not a remake of the 2009 movie. Mostly filmed in Sweden, it feels like a foreign film. I found it beautifully directed, filmed, acted, written, and scored. Rooney Mara is pitch perfect as Lisbeth Salander, as is Daniel Craig's Blomkvist. For a two-hour and forty-eight minute film, it sure went fast. Highly recommend, but not for kids. This film is even more graphic in some ways than the original film. For an American film, that's saying something.

Fincher's version of The Giirl With the Dragon Tattoo is good, sleek, and different. Interesting what was left in/out and changed from the book. That said, I did not care for the open titles. I thought that Salander's character was weakened overall by the changes, however, a weakened Salander doesn't mean a bad job by Rooney Aara. She was good. Fincher's cast overall was great. Reznor and Ross' soundtrack is great. I felt the film would be greatly lacking without it. Not surprisingly, this version has a very American/Hollywood style to it as compared to the Swedish version. But I don't think you should see adaptions and constantly compare them to original sources (the book) or other versions (the Swedish film). Enjoy the film when you see it and save the nitpicking for conversation with friends afterward.

Daniel Craig was believable and compelling as Mikhail Bloomquist; Rooney Mara was riveting. She made that role her own. Sound track and cinemetography (OK, I can't spelll) were wonderful. We've seen, and loved, the Swedish version, and this one held up quite well, better than expected. All in all, an outstanding movie experience.

...you'll LOVE this movie. Rooney Mara IS Lisbeth Salander! Trent Reznor delivered the perfect score. Fitcher directed my favorite movie of the year! (That said, movie is only for adults 18 and over! Not for children.)

First time ever to see a movie after reading the book that the movie did not disappoint. It is actually a movie that is better for having read the book. It ends , like the book, leaving the viewer needing more, but hey, that is why you read the next book, right? Very well done, I can't really be critical of anything. If anything had been changed, it would have changed the movie version of the authors published work. Looking forward to more.
