it was OK!

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2011)

I've never read the books or seen the original Swedish film but all I can say is that it had a decent story and the acting was superb. David Fincher did a great job molding this piece together. It wasn't terrible but it could of obviously been more.
I sat through a 2 hour and 45 minute movie that was fairly slow in pace and very inactive. It had interesting and captivating moments but it really wasn't something to kill over. Honestly, if you have never read the book OR seen the original Swedish film than I can fully say as an audience member you can pass on this one.
Wasn't terrible, it wasn't excellent, just a standard film that isn't something I would go crazy over.
