We went to see "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" to Officially start movie week. Having read the book and having seen the Swedish version of the book. The pressure was on to show me a great adaptation of this great story. If you haven't seen the Swedish version, this is a great movie. If you have, this is a very good movie. As they say, the book is better, but only because it is complete. In 2 and a half hours you just can't cover it all. What it did cover was spot on. i was disappointed that they slightly changed the ending. It is not enough to get worked up about but the other version was most accurate.
The cast did a great job, Daniel Craig found himself a great part that is good for the next two parts. The actor that plays the "Lizbeth" is totally uninhibited!
Note: If you are one of the few that did not read this book series, you are in for a shock. This is very intense with nudity, murder, profanity, and molestation. This is serious stuff told in a raw way as in the book. It is also the basic good versus evil and man's inhumanity to man. The book gives life to each character as no movie has time.
I still think this is a very good movie and give it ****stars. 2011 Movie # 58
