Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Just got out of the theater after watching this. I thought it was one of the best movies I've seen in 2+ years. I heard there was a swedish version also. Has anyone seen both? What did you think of it?

[LemonRising]

I've seen both and I found I liked the swedish version better because it went into her story as well instead of "oh she's just ****ed up lol"
and the ending was like
the ****tiest ending lmao


The new one is good though, worth a watch.
The rape scene in both is pretty uh
unsettling. so if you're sensitive to that stuff you may want to just close your eyes lol

[Sunsetforgotten]

No joke. I have never read the book, so I wasn't prepared at all for it. I thought the movie was nearly perfect, especially the length. I didn't realize how long it was while I was watching because I was engrossed by it. I really thought Daniel Craig did amazing, which is a rarity for him since he first played Bond.

[LemonRising]

lol yeah the length was surprising. I knew it was long while I was watching it but thats only because my arse started getting numb.

I really liked him and the cat.
until you know )':

I have seen both and would say that the david fincher interpretation was better, but both are somewhat similar. I really liked the intro/opening of it, reminded me of a james bond movie somehow.

I definitely have to finally see it. I just couldn't find someone who would have wanted to go to the cinema with me to watch it so I guess I definitely have to go alone if I want to see it before the Academy Award show.

[Sunsetforgotten]

Yeah I'd still say see it even if its solo. It is a gripping story, will keep you interested

I've seen both and I must say, if you want to watch it, watch the original Swedish version. It went deeper into the story, and was more about Lisbeth than the international release.

I have only seen the new one and I must say I didn't like it. But I read the book also. I think they could of made the movie a little better... They left out some stuff that I just thought should of been in there... But as with any book to movie adaption, the book is always better... The writer died after writing the books. Poor guy, didn't even get to enjoy all the money he would of gotten from it.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is a 2009 Swedish drama thriller film based on the novel of the same name by Swedish author/journalist Stieg Larsson. It is the first book in the trilogy known as the "Millennium series", published in Sweden in 2005. The director is Niels Arden Oplev. By August 2009, it had been sold to 25 countries outside Scandinavia, most of them planning a release in 2010, and had been seen by more than 6 million people in the countries where it was already released.

It was beautifully written and well acted movie... but the rape scenes were a bit brutal to be honest. I went to see it with my best friend. He's a guy and he had to cover his eyes at one point (something I'll never let him forget) but I understood why. Other than that, I didn't like the outcome for poor Mister Kitty either. The story line and the plot were phenomenal though.

I saw the American release, not the original and it was really good. It's pretty long though so make sure you have enough time to sit through the entire movie. One of the better films I've seen in a while.

I keep seeing the movie on my movie channel but never get to watch the whole movie, let alone all the sequels. I know it must be good, but it never seems to be able to keep me concentrated.
