I LOVED this movie, but I also LOVED the books. Noomi Rapace is sooooo much better a Lisbeth Salander than Rooney Mara and the Nyqvist is so much better than Clueless Daniel Craig that I had to remember who was even in it. This version has a different ending from the book and drops out one of the big subplots but it's creepier and so less flashy. I like David Fincher movies like "Se7en" and "Fight Club," but his "Dragon Tattoo" felt like a really pretty commercial. The original movie is so much darker and you never feel for certain if the heroes are going to succeed. You just KNOW James Bond and "Social Network" girl are going to beat the guy from "Glass House" no matter what.
