After reading the book and seeing the Swedish film version I wasn’t sure I wanted to see the Hollywood treatment. I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed the film. I think I liked “the girl” in the Swedish version better – I thought she seemed more confident and edgy – although she definitely had “the look”. I’m not a huge Daniel Craig fan (mostly because I’m not a Bond fan) but he was good in his role. The only reason I can see for making this version of the movie was so folks wouldn’t be forced to read the subtitles.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (with English subtitles)

The movie was one of the art films that we saw in 2010. The characters were very believable and, even though I knew what was going to happen, I was on the edge of my seat as the story unfolded. A few things were added and a few things were left out but overall the story wasn’t changed.
