Well Done Redo but Why Redo So Soon?

Rating: 6/10 (5 January 2012)

I would like to sit here and whine about this being a rip-off of the original (and actually - it was - but it was well done.) The directing and acting was as good as the original. I wish the movie had centered more around the life of Lizbeth – but she never played James Bonds – so she just doesn't cut it. One also had to give a pass on content. This is such an in depth story, the movie's writers, directors and producers had to leave some things out (mind you – they all did an excellent job – just about as good as the 2009 version – did I mention this story was done in 2009?). I know many people were ripping their hair out saying stuff like, 'I can't believe they left that out.', or, 'They forgot about this.' It always happens and it happened with the original 2009 version (oh yeah – they just did this movie in 2009). It was a well acted movie but I would not give it a look as far as awards go. The movie was only done in 2009 – and the older version was also an excellent example of super direction, production and acting.
