Reviews of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 2009
-
First time seeing this since the Fincher version. And I still think Fincher's version is better. Its slicker and paced better. The Swedish version is still darn good.
-
An interesting mystery, but like the novel, the plot is hurt by the film focusing on the sexual crimes performed on Lisbeth Salander. It slows down the film and doesn't really pay off enough to warrant it.

Ok. So I know I have done it all backwards. I saw Finchers movie first. Now this. Next week I will probably start reading the book. All I can say to the "purists" out there on letterboxd is that I'm sorry. Anyway. These are my reflections on my backwards journey into these fantastic stories.
This is three hours split into two parts. By doing that we get a lot more of the detail that we don't get in Finchers which…

A very good thriller, before watching it I didn't realize how long it had been since I'd seen a good serious thriller. The story is interesting although it goes a bit far and pushes the suspension of disbelief, but the characters are interesting, well acted and flawed.

It's a sexy stylish action thriller featuring an adorable Noomi Rapace as a bad ass chick with tattoos anger issues and 1337 hacker skills. Even though she's a pro "hacker" she still uses a Mac and has Firefox as her default web browser. It's OK since she's cute I will forgive her for using a Mac. The film is based off a novel and in my opinion next to Holes and Lord of the Rings it's one of the best…

I didn't love this as much as the 'remake' but I can understand the respect and acclaim it has received.
-
A solid, beautifully shot adaptation of the novel, but the performances (other than Rapace) aren't much to write home about.

Film 74 of The 2013 Project.
Running time: 152 minutes.
There's just something about Noomi Rapace as a goth that I find so very attractive. But that's put that aside and I'll just say that I really enjoyed this film. Now I watched this a little time ago, so it's not completely in my mind still, but it's still an excellent foreign film, that fits in a lot and is very enjoyable to watch. The rape scene is one that…

Easily my favorite movie of 2009, this film has turned into a bit of an obsession with the Millenium series. It's certainly the strongest of the set, and far eclipses the American remake. Noomi Rapace delivers one of my favorite acting performances by a female; she understands and embodies Lisbeth Salander to a degree that feels even more accurate than the man who created her, Stieg Larsson. Because this film is a cut of a larger mini-series, it does have…

Extremadamente parecida a la version americana, difiere en aspectos esteticos mas q nada, la yankee es mucho mas pomposa, moderna y cool, esta es mas realista, no parece lady gaga lisbeth por ejemplo.
No sabria decir cual me gusto mas, disfrute ambas y lo bueno de la sueca es q tiene las otras 2 listas -
Amo la actuación de Noomi Rapace en esta película. Es Lisbeth Salander en carne y hueso.

I've just watched the three films of the trilogy. I was late getting to them, 2013, but I watched them over a couple of days and I have watched them all a few times since.
I think they are all brilliant, great storyline, great performances especially the lead characters.
I believe that there is a T.V. series which expands the movies, I just wish I could get hold of it with English subs.
