Pretty, pretty good!
Far too violent. Untrue
Even better than the Swedish Movie. Even tighter.
Not as good as the original Swedish version. Not bad for an english version, but I liked the actors better in the original, they were how I would have pictured them when I read the book.
i loved this movie the acting from both rooney and Daniel were excellent
Awesome!
Stunning. Oscar material for sure.
Gripping!
Just watched the Swedish version, it was dubbed quite expertly I would say. Some lovely nudity, not as violent as all that. Much prefer this to sitting thru at least a half hour of commercials and paying big $$$
My favorite is still the original with Noomi Rapace but I have to admit this is very good as well. The story was well told and you got the story which was very close to the book. Well worth the money to see.
loved this movie as much as the Swedish version. great job by all the actors.
There are great moments in this film and more production value than the Swedish version. The lovely sepia colours in the re-enactments are beautiful. The violence and terror are still there and I loved it.
Loved the actors, loved the show. Saw it twice still enjoy it both times. No bull as is was. great.
It was good but I liked the Swedish version better!
I thought this was as good, if not even better than the original Swedish version, which I also enjoyed. I don"t speak a word of Swedish so I'm glad they made this in English it was nice to be able to just pay attention to the story without having to read subtitles too. I thought Daniel Craig was perfect for this role, and Christopher Plummer was excellent, in fact it was cast perfectly in my opinion! I'm skeptical of re-makes too but this one is one of those rare moments where I thought the re-make did the original justice.
Not much into the book at all, but the story is interesting, quite a mix of intertwined lives under stress of various characters and unusual moments. Pace initially slow, but picked up later, and seemed to go a bit too fast in a brief sense near the ending. However, worth the see, even in the theatre, and I enjoyed the suspenseful puzzles within the plot. The violent moments can be disturbing. The girl is quite adept... a survivor.
An intense heart pounding film. Certain scenes were so well done that it was almost too much to watch.
Much better than the Swedish version. Adhered to the book more and showed the personal relationships which I think are instrumental. Great soundtrack and intros..
Great movie, even better than the Swedish version. It was much more faithful to the book.
Dark,complex,graphic, well cast and well acted. Every bit as good as the Swedish original film. As close to the book as can be expected. Not a movie for the attention challenged or special effects addicts. Cann't wait to see the next two sequils.
excellent movie. faithful to the book. well casted, exceptionally acted and executed. loved the books, loved this movie!
A good competitor to Mission Impossible in the spy genre.
I saw the Swedish version and it was so memorable and shocking of a story that I remember. However I found myself so drawn into this version as if I has not seen the other one. It kept at the edge of my seat with the fast pace, great visual portrayal of everything, great acting - this young actress Rooney Mara is a natural , a gem, unbelievably good and the directing ...come on ..Fincher is Fincher, a genius in telling the story perfectly well. Great movie all around.
Excellent movie, does justice to the book. Hey folks, these are calls "reviews" not "opinionated remarks", You should only post here if you have seen the movie and want to share your REVIEW of it.
hated it
Looks like a good story, looking forward to seeing it
The movie did the book justice. Yes it was graffic yes it was violent that is what the story was about so quit whining about it!!! I see several oscars in it's future. Can't wait for the other 2. Way to go hollywood!!
Excellent through and through . Great plot well done .
There sure is a lot of people here who have a really skewed outlook on life that they feel a remake of a movie, no matter how recent the original was, is such a blight on their lives. This new film doesn't erase or destroy the original. If you love that one so much, it's still there, and no one is forcing you to view this one. Jeez...take all that negative energy and try and do something positive with it.
Although there is a lot of graffic scenes in this movie, I thought the plot was fancinating and the actors excellent. This movie should win several Oscars.
Honestly, I think it really depends on the movie. I haven't seen this one, nor the Swedish one, but there have been some remakes that were better than the original. Note the word "some". Like Pride and Prejudice. The one previous to the newest, I believe it was, was more of a comedy than a romantic classic, and I personally didn't like it as much as the new remake. However, if I was looking for a funny version of the movie, the older one would be appropriate. It all depends on taste. In other words, stop forcing your opinions on everyone. And I know that sounds hipocrytical, but it's not, because I acknowledge that there are both good and bad remakes,
Not bad
Darkly satisfying revenge thriller.
great movie
Not everyone can deal with subtitles. I found the American version very true to the book and certainly not any more sensationalized than the Swedish version which I also thought was great.For once tha US of A didn't ruin it.
very loyal to the book...looking forward to the others
Having read the books - I found this movie stuck to the story line extremely well. The acting was great, Lisbeth was just like I pictured her - fun all around. My favorite movie this year.
Good performance by the actors
i read all the books This film is just "GREAT!!!!!!
enjoyed the movie
Really good movie - acting was great
interesting
It's not a remake people, its another adaption of the book
Well maybe the people who think the remake in English was a bad idea don't consider people who don't see very well. Best book ever and thank you for making this movie in English.
Daniel Craig blew me away! An instant classic!
not needed new version! the best is the swedish original millenium trilogy...holwood movie are more and more boring....
It's always the same story,get a bunch of big name actors,throw them in a "Pot" together and you get "Ghoulash"!The is never any need for remakes either recent or old,cause if the original is already well made,why destroy it.The American movie company's need to come up with fresh and new ideas instead of stealing them(ex.:"Let Me In",which the original was brilliant!)from any country making already great films!
Honestly I am the same as the previous guy. I sincerely wish for ppl to boycott. Cash grabs are BS, it's just calling the public stupid. I only saw the first of the swedish movies, but it seemed well done. So no need to squash it with a heavy handed american remake.
Great movie. No remake needed and airbrushing won't win it over.
If you don't need to see a movie just read the book and stop there. Your condescending attitude that you can make a judgement based on no information is childish. I have read the books, seen the original movies and am looking forward to David Fincher's interpretation. I like to see movies before I slam them and the people who enjoy them.
