I've been waiting what seems like two years for this movie. After starting a little slow at first, it built into a great film. Even with all of the hype, I still managed to enjoy every moment. Great mystery plus a little action, and it even has a plot...who knew! The most intense scenes are not for the faint of heart (turn away if you must), but I would recommend for everyone...a must see for the intense gritty murder mystery lovers this holiday.

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.

Rooney Mara deserves the accolades; she performed really well. I read the books and really like how the story came to life. Weird how the movie had some moments that were slow but I never felt that in the book. Good job none-the-less. Daniel Craig can do no wrong (imo)!

This film was wonderfully cast, the characters fit the profiles of the characters in the book very nicely. The actress who played Salander was exactly as I pictured her when I read the book. I like how the film followed the book so closely. LOVED IT!

The movie is very good; it's dark and violent, but very well-done. Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara are both excellent, and the rest of the cast is very good. The directing is top-notch, though the opening sequence is one of the strangest things I've ever seen in my whole life and had almost nothing to do with the movie itself. My only complaint is that the movie was far too long, and several things could have easily been cut without sacrificing the story or the quality. Were it not for that, I'd be giving this a 5-star rating.
