Movie of the year came early this year.

Rating: 9/10 (24 January 2012)

The Swedisch translation of the Stieg Larsson novel couldn't be more perfect in my eyes. The devotion of the actors in playing their role is excellent.
Rooney Mara played an incredible and truthful role as Lisbeth Salander. It is incredible how devoted she has played this role with a lot of violence and explicit scenes. Her real piercings and other visual characteristics, her Swedisch accent and her incredible acting skills made her a perfect Lisbeth Salander.
"The Immigrant Song" cover by Trent Reznor and Karen O made a big impression to me as in the trailer as in the movie itself. It created a nice atmosphere for the rest of the movie.
In the movie, there are a lot of dialogs, but they aren't as complicated as you have in a lot of other movies. Also, the dialogs are so well written, you never get bored during the entire movie, they are always followed by an action scene of something exciting that has happened. You really get into the story so you wont't notice the movies duration of 158 minutes.
Also the interaction with the main characters showed Daniël Craig in one of his better acting roles. The interaction between Lisbeth Salander and Mikael Blomkvist is that convincing that you want to see a sequel as soon as the ending scene of this movie has passed.
It looks like David Fincher looked a lot at the original movie and improved all the shortcomings to make this film a perfect translation of the original story. The interaction between the characters is better and you feel like there is a lot more that needs to be said and done, hopefully in the sequel. Therefore I would - at this early time of the year - say it's the movie of the year.
I'm also convinced Rooney Mara will get an Oscar for this performance.
