American version of Girl with Dragon Tattoo
Having read all three books my wife and I went to see the new movie "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" yesterday. One word of advice: if you haven't read the book, don't see the movie. It packs a whole lot of action and info into a movie and we agree that if we hadn't read the book we would have had a hard time following it. Having said that we both enjoyed the movie. (except the opening credits with very loud Led Zeppelin and bizarre film was a bit hard to take).
The part of Lisbeth was perfectly cast and we felt the actress really felt true to our perceived images of her. I am amazed that the screenwriter got as much into the movie as he did although as I said that is also what makes the movie a bit hard to follow. We look forward to seeing the sequels as well as the Swedish versions.
