23 April 2012 Right ; here it is; I've finally seen "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (2011)" & was underwhelmed. It's well acted & shot. The dialogue is ....... well lost by an unnecessary amount of background 'noise' (how much music!) Quite frankly the 2009 film (Swedish version, NOT dubbed; read the subtitles) is head and shoulders better in these fields plus also covers more of the plot points from the novel in only about 20 minutes more screen time. I wanted to enjoy this so much but having seen Michael Nyqvist as 'Kalle' Blomkvist Daniel Craig was just going to have too much to do to even come close. I do like how Michael's daughter snagged a role as the girl who sells Daniel coffee, cakes & ciggies! If you haven't seen either film start with this; then seek out the trilogy with Noomi Rapace, Michael Nyqvist et al to see how it should be done. Oh & read the books as well, it's worth it!
