Yeah, saw it on a first date when it came out, didn't know anything about it.  It is really graphic in a few scenes, definitely not date movie material. If your not seeing it with a woman though, its a damn good movie. Daniel Craig is good in it, it has a good plot with some psychological twists, and some hot action. Pretty good overall. i would pay money to see it again.

I saw the Swedish version and it was ok. But David Fincher is a genius, so I'm expecting more from this one.

The swedish version was a fantastic movie.

While Finchers remake wasnt bad and I recommend it to anyone, it was missing alot of the chemistry that the 2 antagonist shared and I think that really hurt it. Also the pacing was a bit off when compared to the original Swedish film.

Pretty good. The books were better but both versions did a good job staying accurate.

Have not seen the English language remark; however the foreign language serial version was excellent.

it was extremely good...it was the first move in a long time where i felt creepiness similar to silence of the lambs.  David Fincher does not make bad movies, Seven, Fight Club, social network

I saw the Swedish version as well. I enjoyed the movie, and yes, it's pretty graphic.

Saw the original, dont feel the need to see the remake as the Swedish version was amazing.

I saw it, I thought it was pretty good, I definitely recommend it.  If you can see the Swedish version though, that would be my first choice

I saw them both and the Swedish version was definitely better.

I saw the remake and then read the book.  Actually, the book is part of a trilogy and I've just started the 3rd book.

I started reading the books because I thought the movie was great -- It has a great, weird intro (to a remake of an old Zeppelin tune) and then is kinda slow until the very graphic rape scene.  After that, you can't stop watching.

The actress (Mara Rooney, I think) was incredible as Lisbeth.  I could see her winning an Oscar for that.

If you really liked the books, you should look for the Dragon Trilogy on Amazon. The 3 part series was originally filmed as a 9 hour TV mini series and they edited a lot of stuff out when it was released in the theaters. The second two movies were much better in their original versions.

Haven't seen the US version yet. I thought the books and original movies were the most overrated thing since the fucking Da Vinci Code.
