    Not a classic,but very good indeed.

    They said David Fincher could not better the Swedish version. IMHO he has done so. And he has remained true to the book trilogy.

    Daniel Craig plays his part well, big-name co-stars all do well; but Rooney Mara steals the show with an unforgettable performance.

    Retaining all its original Swedish flavour and scenery, this film is way above the average for movies at this time.

  • Girl with the -you know the rest

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By Bobsview (559 reviews) from Gloucestershire , 11 Mar 2013
    Daniel Craig . Thriller about the abuse of women. Explicit rape scene may cause offense to some. An excellent remake of this popular book. The plot is still as complicated and difficult to follow due to the vast number of Swedes involved many from the same family. Helps if you have seen the other version or read the book. I preferrred it to the Swedish original.

  • Swedish or English? You'll like whichever you see first

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    If you've seen the original (and in my view better) swedish version, then you'll already know the story, so this won't have any surprises for you. To be fair, I think if you see this one first you'll love it, and probably feel the same about the swedish version. Noomi Rapace is much better as Lisbeth than Rooney Mara though.

  • Good but not brilliant

    Rated - 3.0 stars

    Good film but definitely not as brilliant as the original film. This film is not as true to the book and seems to rush the story.

    The description for this film does not mention a very horrific rape scene and as it takes up alot of the film, i think it deserves a mention. As if it even mentioned sexual violence i would not have rented this. Shame as the film was quite good and didn't need that plot point.

    THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS Show review anywayHide

    I sent this back without watching all the way through, very slow to get going, lots of characters to get to know with cryptic storyline, I haven't read the book, but someone told me the rape scene was gruesome so decided not to watch the rest
