Better ? Maybe, but some details needs is a bit out of context

Rating: 6/10 (3 March 2012)

Trust the Hollywood to bring in the big guns, Daniel Craig, Christopher Plummer to hopefully make a better movie. I admit the whole story run quite smoothly, not to say that the original Swedish version is bad. I would say they are comparable. If you read the novel and saw the Swedish version, you get the chance to see and make comparison.
Some of the minor details are really annoying. One example; I do not think that a Swedish girl in has a diary entry written in English, specially when you considered that the writer of the diary is a 14 or 16 years old girls. I know they have a good education in Sweden, but.... come on, it is more logical to have a teenage girl writing her diary in her own mother tongue.
Of course I suspect there is a bit of commercialism on the movie. Apple computer for one thing is shown so many times in the movie. Coincident ? I don't believe so, but this minor details in my opinion ruins the movie. I don't remember seeing something similar in the original movie, but you know Hollywood.... why not sell some advertising space if you can....
Anyway, if you have some free minutes to waste, this is not a bad movie to watch.
