First movie I've seen in the movie theater in about 4 years.
It was awesome. Also, Rooney Mara is a hottie.
That is all.

Awesome movie, kinda long on plot but interesting and engaging nonetheless, with a couple of nice twists at the end. Mara was outstanding, in a DeNiro/Hillary Swank method actor total immersion way. I smell Oscar.
Are they planning on continuing the trilogy?

I just wonder if a film that came out only 2 years ago was really needing remade already.
It seems to be doing pretty well at the box office, I have no reason to doubt they'd be continuing and do the entire trilogy.

As said, I'm yet to see it (critics aren't worth a whole lot IMO). I just don't like seeing things being re-released as such.

I believe the first was in Swedish.

$19 million made the first week.
I love the millennium collection. Wonder if they'll do the next two? |

Some great non-English films out there!

Peace,

But the books and the Swedish versions are better.
Noomi Rapace is much hotter IMO. |

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Nov 2011 Location: Louisville, KY USA | | | I saw the US version last week and re-watched the Swedish version last night. Very much surprised to realize the US version was darker, more complex, more engaging, and my favorite of the two. Btw, the Swedish trilogy's dialogue is in Swedish and the only versions I've seen over here feature English subtitles or a painful English overdub (serious Godzilla lip-synch going on!) that hurts to watch.
I've never seen the audience reaction I witnessed last week when the movie ended. As the credits began, everyone in the theater stood and filed silently out. Not a peep or a cough or anything. That was some dark stuff.

Will be seeking out the Swedish version of all three books / movies.

Especially the part where she arises like a freaking ZOMBIE from the grave!
The originals are silly nonsense and overblown. The remakes are probably worse.
Whatever.
