Disappointment
Well, first of all, I didn't expect too much but, still, with the rating that higher then the Swedish version, I was surprised of how mediocre American version was. I was disappointed by almost every aspect of the movie. Even with the photography. As English is not my first language, I'll be brief. Craig – better than I expected, yet too polished. Nyqvist was so much more convincing Mara – boring, with just two tones of voice through entire movie. I suppose, this monotony should convince us that she was cold and unattached, appearance – OK. For me, Rapace was Lisbeth. Skarsgard – exceptional Storyline – didn't like the changes (compared to the book) and hated the rhythm as it kept too many details from the book; as a result, the movie looked like a photo album, hopping from one picture to another in fast pace. Directing – anemic Music – OK at the beginning, then irritatinghurting my ears. To conclude, if I had seen it before the book and Swedish version, it would have been OK. As it wasn't the case, I shall remember it as unconvincing and redundant. Then again, it's just me
