    I give this movie a "Fuck You"...seriously.

    With a run time of two hours and thirty-something minutes, you have to earn that run time.

    What I thought!

    It was original I'll give it that.  The title sequence was worth the price of admission.  That said, I think there were far too many characters, the love story between the two main characters comes out of nowhere, and the ending didn't really satisfy.

    Really Good movie, Rooney is the best

    I'm in a Millenium phase right now. I read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, watched the Swedish film, and saw this version. I love them all. Now I'm reading The Girl Who Played with Fire.

    I struggled with deciding whether I liked the Swedish or American version better, but I've realized that they're two different takes on the book that do different things well. Mara and Rapace show different sides of Lisbeth, but both stick really close to the character. Between the two we basically have the perfect book-to-film adaptation.

    Definitely want to see the American adaptation at the theater again.

    Never read the book or saw the Swedish one....I like this movie although I completely understand why someone wouldn't...and because of the disturbing rape scenes I will not be watching it again...

    petty good movie

    weird though, my mom and older sister loved the books but couldnt stand the Swedish version

    I totally dug the opening credits in this American version and the suspense, but damn they really uglied up Rooney Mara so bad

    I liked it but didn't love it. I think I need to see it again.

    Opening sequence was awesome, like a tool rudux of a james bond intro, dark and badass.  I do agree it dragged at end. But all in all its a good mystery movie.

    Larrson's death is a let down because there were supposed to 10 or 12 books in the series. The fourth book was 70-80% complete when he died and, as of right now, we're never going to see it anytime soon due to some legal circumstances. It makes you wonder what would have happened if it was J.K. Rowling.

    Stieg Larrson did not commit suicide. He was a 2-pack a day smoker and one day the elevator in his building was out and he climbed the stairs and died of a heart attack after he got to the top. I think he climbed 10 flights of stairs. He was 50.

    this review seems oddly paced/edited.  is that just me?

    Rooney was better than Noomi, Noomi is good, but she's just too old! rooney fit the character better

  • December 24, 2011 at 5:19 AM, said ...

    I felt it overstayed it's welcome a little at the end, but I still liked it.

  • December 23, 2011 at 6:22 AM, said ...

    Character development and social commentary carried the first book, but I don't think the mystery was strong enough to make a memorable movie. After listening to this review, I'll wait for the rental. 

    "The Girl Who Played with Fire" has potential to be a great movie, although it was my least favorite of the Swedish films. 

  • December 23, 2011 at 4:20 AM, said ...

    I give it a rental. The story was weak and it comes down to how you feel about the main character and I just wasn't impressed. In reality i just watched the film cause I am a huge NIN freak!!

    this film for me falls into the catagory of films like Requiem for a Dream and Muholland Drive; films that make me go, "that was so dark and yet beautiful; so dark in fact, that I can't ever watch it again."

    The opening credits made me jizz my pants.

    I liked this version a lot. However, I can see people getting very confused with the mystery. too many names, but the way the movie is filmed you only suspect very few. I read the trilogy and watched the swedish versions and thats the only reason I wasn't confused but my friends were like "??". Obviously Rooney Mara gives us such a darker Lisbeth but at the same time that ending gives us such a more sympathetic Lisbeth that I thought was awesome. I give it a High Matinee in my book.

    I liked Rooney (?) more as Lisbeth and their portrayal of her was way better too.  The ending was great too, because that was the main problem i had with the swedish film was the abrupt ending.

    But if you saw the swedish version/read the book then you know about the mystery already and that part was boring me a little so if you did then I'd give this a matinee, but if you didn't then it's definitely a low full price.

    I enjoyed it very much.

    Makes you wonder how off topic these guys got or they said something they shouldn't have cause the edits are pretty jarring at times.

    I'm looking forward to seeing this movie. I read the book in August, and I was happy to hear that they were making another movie of it. Thanks for the honest reviews, guys!
