THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATOO
(The David Fincher Version)
It is truly impossible not to compare this version to the Swedish original because it i’s quite obvious Mr. Fincher was working with a substantially greater budget than Niels Arden Opler had for the first Swedish film. While they are both enthralling, I actually lean a bit towards the rawer original. I applaud the cast and crew actually (especially Rooney Mara who wore REAL piercings during this movie,OUCH!). Ms. Mara is excellent in her performance and I was fully satisfied, but Ms. Rapace brought a rougher edge to the role … one that made it even tougher to crack that shell. The biggest difference in the casts is Daniel Craig against Michael Nyqvist. Mr. Craig is just a bit too cool for the role, while Nyqvist captured the insecurity and vulnerability that Larsson wrote about. if you are fans of the original, you might appreciate this. LOVE the Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross Scoring. Not for everybody♥

Have you read the books? I haven’t but I”ve been told that Fincher’s version is more like the novel. I might see Fincher’s version at some point. I loved Opler’s and agree with you totally about Rapace and Nyqvist.
