I hope the book is better September 5, 2010 bernie (Arlington, Texas) A journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) is fed misinformation and publishes this, which leads to a jail sentence. This brings him to the attention of Henrik Vanger (Sven-Bertil Taube). Henrik is receiving packages from the person who probably killed his niece, Harriet. Therefore, he hires Mikael to track down and find out what actually happened to Harriet. With piles of old data and Mikael is still stumped and does not know where to turn to find the answer. He gets his help and answers from an unexpected source Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) a girl with the appearance of a punk rocker and bearing The Dragon Tattoo.
The only social redeeming value of this film is now I have learned how to cuss in Swedish. I also took notes on things I did not know you could do. I do not consider myself a prude however I believe this film was excessively graphic for the telling of the story. The film is very slow paced and makes you want to have the type of player that you can listen too when it is in fast forwarded mode. In addition, there is an annoying background theme plays over and over and over throughout the complete film. The film does stick to a generic formula, throws in the standard red herrings, and twist at the end no big surprises but it is what we expect.
For people interested in media I watched the Blu-ray version only and it has an option for English voiceover. The voiceover is easier to follow but sounds like a voiceover being read. The DVD has many by-passable coming attractions. There are the standard DVD extras that we have come to expect.

Great film from a great book September 5, 2010 Snorbins (UK) This is a great film! Read the book? You wont be disappointed by the adapation. The film is well put together and condenses the book enough without losing clarity.
Now that Hollywood has decided to make its own version with all the overhyped "stars" it would be nice if this film got the glory.
Dont worry about the dubbing if you get lost in the film its not noticed.
Grusome but thrilling September 5, 2010 lollypop 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Enjoyed this DVD little bit grusome in parts but exciting, and needed to watch to the end. Enjoy the story sometimes got a little lost with the plot. But over all enjoy the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo
Some good landscape photography September 5, 2010 BruceB (Surrey, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I had heard a lot about the books and the film and have not read any of the books.
There is some beautiful photography outdoors in the film, really atmospheric. I was at first concerned that the English subtitles might be intrusive, but they were fine.
The actors were well cast.
The story was rather slow in pace, really a vehicle to stage over long and over graphic scenes of sex and violence. Fine for people who need that kind of thing, but overall, unsatisfactory.
I felt the editing had taken a lot from the style of the Bourne Trilogy, which were far more satisfactory.
Excellent Larsson Adaptation September 4, 2010 Mollydog 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
For any Stig Larrson fan this is an excellent and faithful adaption of the first book. It captures the feel of the book. All the charachters are vividly portrayed in the dark Swedish social landscape. Both Lisbeth and Kalle come to life as imagined - excellect performances all round.
