lol no

The original 2009-version is much better even though Daniel Craigs version have it's pros.

Fincher is certainly a more assured director than Niels Arden Oplev, who did the 2009 Swedish film.

Yet his assurance isn't always a plus. The earlier film had a certain earnest directness that seemed to raise the stakes.

Emotions were closer to the surface. Rooney Mara and Noomi Rapace both create convincing Salanders, but Rapace seems more uneasy in her skin, more threatened.

As the male lead Mikael Blomkvist, Michael Nyqvist seemed less confident, more threatened. In this film, Daniel Craig brings along the confidence of James Bond. How could he not? He looks too comfortable in danger.

It's good but the original Swedish version is even better!

Try it after you've seen the american one and you'll understand.

It's much creepier.

I saw part of that version. It shows parts of Lisbeth's childhood... and in that version, we see her violent brother

I need to see the rest of it.

Fuck. I Love Fincher. I've seen it, I bought it, watched it a few more times. Still can't get into it. Fuck.

Didn't really like the original, either.

Fuck.
