Kodename Nina all over again

Rating: 1/10 (12 December 2013)

I don't know if can remember that movie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107843/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 it was an American adaptation of a great French film Nikita http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100263/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
The story of these two films, and this one, compared to the original "Män som hatar kvinnor" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1132620/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 which any person who know Swedish would translate to "Men that hates women", but the title is not really the problem, the problem is, like it always is, that it gets so much worse.
I think the problem must be that American moviegoers simply cannot read, that subtitles are too complex or difficult for them to comprehend, because if it weren't they would not keep suffering travesties like this.
I have only seen this movie once, I don't want to see it again so I can give a detailed list of exactly where it fails, but I can mention a few.
The person that framed Mikael Blomkvist didn't really have a role in the real version, but the biggest problem by far, is that this version of Lisbet Salander is much too demure compared to the original. They completely removed the rape scene; it was barely hinted at here, that was a very important part of her characterization of why she neither trusts men nor the authorities, because this is what she have been a victim of since she was a little girl.
This movie fails utterly and completely compared to the real version, and if you have any like for this mockery, then you should try to see the real thing. That movie was great, this one is barely adequate on its own, and when we know what it is supposed to be, what it has the audacity to claim to be, it is nothing less then an abomination.
But I guess we shouldn't be surprised, as I said in the beginning it is codename Nina all over again. When will you ever learn not to mess with great foreign films, to just appreciate them as they are, instead of making forgeries of them, that are always inferior.
