So to start off this review I must get something off my chest: I have not read the books. Well, to be absolutely truthful I have read the first twenty pages of the first book in a well meaning but ultimately futile attempt to read the book before the movie ...

"The Millennium Trilogy" has become a worldwide phenomenon, and it's nice to see something that isn't Harry Potter or Twilight do so well in the book realm. The Swedish films have also nothing but highest praises. So I was a little baffled when David Fincher announced that he wanted to ...

I should open this review by saying that I have not read Stieg Larsson’s novel upon which this film is based on, nor have I watched the 2009 adaptation from its home country so I can’t compare the two or talk about faithful or not it is to the novel. ...

David Fincher’s films center not around story but a mood. An off, hopeless, gnarly mood that about represents where Travis Bickle’s head would be in the 21st century. There are no clean bathrooms in these movies. Longtime collaborator, cinematographer Jeff Cronenweth, captures the visual aesthetic of this bleakness with jet-black ...

Henrik Vanger: Soon you'll know us all too well, with my apologies.Ok so let me start off saying I have not red the books but I have seen the original Swedish film. Also don't watch this film if you have a weak stomach reason being it's known for it's brutal ...

In the summer of ’10, on a romantic holiday in Greece I fell in love. We only spent a week together and i’ll never forget our last day together, the day I found out what happened to Harriot and read the last page of “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo”. ...

Later into the film, Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig) pores over a cluttered desk of notes, ...

Movie adaptations of books are no easy feat. You want to keep fans of the material pleased while adding your own touch so as to not have a page by page experience of the novel. Unfortunately, David Fincher's take on the bestselling novel, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo comes ...

Film adaptations of books can be a tough challenge to sort out. Not only should the resulting film be able to captivate the multitudes who are not familiar with the subject matter, but they must also win the approval of the existing fans. Obviously, not every project goes as well ...

While many wondered why a studio would green light a remake of a triliogy of movies that came out 2009 or why it was a necessity to do so? Director David Fincher dose a excellent job adapting and remaking The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. His version is a tight ...

If you started looking closely at the structure of the story of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you could probably find a number of flaws and weird issues with it. It takes a long time for its two leads to meet and the plot to really get going, and ...

I've never read any of Stieg Larrson's books. And despite the fact that I generally rant against all these pointless American remakes of foreign films that are just as good or more often better than the Hollywood dumbed-down versions, I saw this one without having seen the original film.This decision ...
