Mostly Great

Rating: Null/10 (13 December 2011)

I really detested the opening credits sequence. It was lovely as a music video, but I was thinking "Bond" the entire time. It didn't fit the theme of the story at all and I was baffled by it.
The movie was excellent though. Lisbeth was played beautifully by Rooney Mara, maybe showing a little too much emotion on occasion, but nothing unforgivable. Daniel Craig was great as Blomkvist. The only thing I was particularly annoyed about was that they changed the entire conclusion to the missing girl - where, how, who, etc. It seemed like a stupid thing to do considering the rest of the story being so true to the book.
It breaks my heart to say, but I felt like Reznor's score occasionally became intrusive and out of place. Though it was also really good at times.
Overall: I enjoyed it and am looking forward to the next two films in the series.
