Girl With the Drago very Hot!

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2012)

Saw this twice already, and I know the book has a different ending and several different storyline changes but I tried to watch the movie as if I had no expectations or information of the story and it's characters. This can be very challenging when you read the book, especially when you're a big fan, but realized that it would have to be a mini-series to get all of it in and of course, realized that they would probably need to do a Hollywood ending to it all, as in, she is broken when she finds that her lover (sorry to give away, but I did check the spoiler box) is back with his old fling. Of course in the book she could care less and is the first to move on, and hence, the whole dramatic moment of her seeing him, being crushed and taking off on her motorcycle is Hollywood. I guess they needed her to be more of a 'woman' or in this Hollywood ending, a sensitive, fragile little girl, personally, I liked her kicking ass and taking names demeanor throughout the movie (and book), but Hollywood added in the vulnerability. Probably a good thing, especially after what she does to the rapist. My favorite scene btw! I favor movies that the woman is in charge, being smart and sexy and in control. I like this one a lot!
