Chris Keen Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 It looks really intense! But also looks a little too "heady" for my tastes. I hate those movies that REALLY make you think the whole time. You know, like if you miss a very subtle, almost hidden clue .... you're lost. 12 Monkeys did that to me!

Flexmoney Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 I watched the Swedish version (on Netflix). <subtitled> Really well done movie. I can't believe the American version is out so soon. Chris, it's not a "get you lost" kind of movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArmdCtzn Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 The trailer looks interesting, but that girl scares me and is hard to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chills1994 Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 she cleans up well....either in the original Swedish version or in one of the Swedish sequels....she does look like a normal person (who hasn't faceplanted into one of my Grandpa's old tackle boxes) for about all of five minutes.

3quartertime Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Just got back from this one. Definitely don't take your kids. Very graphic sexual scenes. The girl is weird, but totally hot. Dark, but interesting. The story is good, but there seems to be much much more and you leave with zero clue to what that might be. Good movie. Good story. Looking forward to the rest of it...

Mark K Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Saw it with my 21yr old son yesterday. Very good. Lady behind us in the theater said it followed the book very well, though she said you miss out on a lot (naturally) with the movie. May prompt me to read the book. Rooney Mara (the girl) is fantastic. Dramatic how different she looks towards the end when she dresses up (and really see the resemblance with here older sister - Kate Mara - from Shooter).

Micah Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Great flick, but I felt that if you had not read the books you'd be lost in points. A few changes here and there from the novel, but I felt that the choices either streamlined the plot, or saved the expense from going to Australia. I am VERY grateful that I didn't take a parent to see this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southtexaswoman Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 I had not read the book and really did not want to see the movie but a friend dragged me there. I am so glad. I really enjoyed it. The girl is "out there" but that works perfectly well in my opinion. I definitely think this movie should win some awards.

Revopop Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 (edited) I'm gonna be a dissenter here in that I thought the original Swedish version of the first movie was in need of a remake. While the original Lisbeth was amazing, I felt like the actor playing Blomkvist completely lacked charisma. Daniel Craig certainly will not have that problem. I read the books after I watched the first movie, then I felt that way even more. I do agree though, that the next 2 movies were terrible. Definitely will be seeing this very soon. Also, did anytime else who read the books think that Swedish food sounds awful? Edited January 19, 2012 by Revopop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 We just watched it last night - Candis and I really liked the US remake version. A bit long (2 hrs 38 min) maybe - but it never got boring. (We haven't yet watched the original.) be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe4d Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I enjoyed the second book the most, the third book larson went back to his terrible habits of the first books. Spending way to much time introducing and describing irrelevant characters that had nothing to do with anything. Way too much coffee drinking, way to much boring meetings, The whole berger character and could have been cut from book 2 and 3 and changed nothing. I had hi hopes for book 3 after book two was a huge improvement over 1. Still had some coffee but at least Larson didnt spend 2 to three pages describing making it. I did find it ironic that I was right The dude really was obsessed with coffee, evidently Larson basically coffee drank himself to death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChristianHE Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I saw the original versions, all three, then the first American version. It was like seeing Sean Connery play Bond, then seeing Justin Bieber play the same part. Didn't really work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thought...that he didn't spend any time building the ancillary characters. I liked that focus (but wonder if that is why others didn't care for the second movie as much).

sperman Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I thought the director got the balance right in the first movie. After watching it, I listened to the book on tape and know exactly what Joe4d is referring to. In the book he gets a little monotonous with some of the details.

Chris iliff Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 First film is the best IMHO. I think that one beats the American remake hands down. Raw and gritty. The second and third films just didn't cut it. It was like they knew they had some succes and then tried to make the next two Hollywoodish. Very disappointed in those two sequels. Hopefully, Hollywood churns out the next two better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
