NOT as good as the Swedish film

Rating: 6/10 (28 December 2011)

I saw the movie last night. First of all; I admit I was biased going in ( in favor of the original Swedish film; why remake a movie made only 2 years ago? ), but they seemed torn between the native language for the scenery, and English for most of the computer screens. And I admit it has been a while since I read the book, but they could have spent a little more time on how Lizbet go they way she was.
Like the book ( and the Swedish original ) it was a little distracting bouncing back and forth between Blomqvest's story and Salander's until they merged, but the plots ( plural ) were very well done.
And other than to save a little money, I' not sure why they left out the part about Australia ( I'm putting this intentionally a little vague to prevent a spoiler for those who have not read the book ).
Others seem to prefer this to the original; I am not convinced the acting was any better. I have to recommend the original Swedish film on DVD.
