    Girl w/Dragon Tattoo AWESOME

    by ginsue

    Having read the book, which was very detailed; I found the story line (w/few alterations) was right on. The plot built with parallel story lines, until the two merged and drove towards the climactic ending. Casting was "right on" for the book characters. Salander is believable and an enigma...Michael is professional and passionate. The book has one or two additonal storylines, but the film focused on the mystery of the 40 yr old disappearance of an industrial heiress. Only drawback was the English subtitles sometimes were difficult to read over the light background of some themes.

    The cinematography is raw and of uber mature audience themes, including violence and sex...this film IS NOT for children or pre-teens. The shots of Sweden's countryside are beautiful.

    The 2 1/2 hr movie goes by quickly with the amount of detail from each scene building to the movie's climax. Do not leave the theater, unless you have read the book, otherwise you will miss important details.AAA+

    WELL WOVEN TALE

    by helbrit

    From the first close up of the string on the wrapped picture frame in the beginning of the movie I knew it was going to be a well shot and edited film. As it progressed I also knew the acting was going to be above par. This is a well woven tale that keeps it's realism by never going over the top. Lisbeth doesn't use superhuman kung fu to thwart off her attackers (thugs) in the subway station and she doesn't resort to mindless revenge for her law guardian, instead a well conceived plan. Even the bad guy performance isn't your typical crazed lunatic serial killer , but a person more (subtle) sick and twisted from his upbringing who believes what he does is OK. There really isn't much predictability in this movie either. When you think Lisbeth will light up the killer with a match near the end as she did her Father she doesn't. Instead she opts not to help save him. Noomi Rapace is dynamite as the dark, smart, sleek Lisbeth and Michael Nyqvist is A+ as the relentless to the end reporter

    The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo

    by jpl29

    This is one of the most enthralling crime and passion storiesof all time. It contains three simultaneous mysteries. Each one would deserve a movie of its own. This is the first of a famous trilogy by a Swedish author, Steig Larsson, who died in 2004. This is the first of the trilogy. I can't wait for the others, that is, if they are made.

    It flows so smoothly. I was shocked to leave the theater and see what time it was.

    A viewer of dark, foreboding Mystery, in a different culture, a ferocious female character and a dramatic finale, will love this movie.
