The first movie was very,very good. It was loyal to the book and exciting. I hope the same people do the next film.

Is the swedish movie in English or is it dubbed or subtitled? Please let me know from anyone who has seen the movie.

The movie is sub-titled. (hurrah)!
Can anyone tell me where the movie was filmed and where that amazing bridge is located?

I just saw the opening of the second movie in US. a few days ago. Great fun. Surprised to see hardly anyone in theater under what looked to be fifty years old. Don’t twenty-thirties like mystery movies? Lisbeth Salander is around six years old now- didn’t Larsson die in 2004? Is her persona dated for kids who are in that age range?
I think Larsson may have faked his own death, the timing is too good. Best read in years….

we get the first in the trilogy this week in the uk, after finishing the books a month ago I need my fix! i hope the characters portrayed stay true to the book as i have them mapped out…. you know what I mean!
Have seen that Daniel Craig may be playing Blomquist in a “British” version, might work, hes a decent actor but maybe a little stiff to play mickey

I’ve got to say, I absolutely love the books, am not that fond of the Swedish films. The first one was OK, the 2nd one was not a good film, in my opinion, and both films were utterly lacking in the dark humor that’s sprinkled through the books – and both films fundamentally changed the role of the police and, in the case of the first one, Lisbeth’s policy toward dealing with the police. I understand changing things for time, etc – and the 2nd film was edited from a made-for-TV version, so it had that against it. But when a film-maker changes the ideological perspective of a main character in a book, they better have a good reason for it, especially when so much of the climactic part of the trilogy pertains to that issue. Oh, well. I’m hoping Fincher will do better. Obviously, living in the US, I’m more attuned to US-style flashy film-making, so that may be the key to some of my disappointment with the Swedish films.

I love all the talk about the proposed re-make by the USA film industry. Yes, I’m sure they will pay a fortune for some, so called, “Star” to play up-front and then contract every “special effects” designer to put in as many exploding/bouncing car chase sequences that have ever been designed. There will then, of course, be the mandatory slow-motion bullet-following action as well with the “Star”, seeing the bullet approaching, lean to one side to watch the said bullet narrowly miss his left ear. Get my drift? If you want to see how Hollywood can really mess up a good story then watch, firstly, Fred Zinnemann’s 1973 adaptation of Frederick Forsyth’s book “The Day of the Jackal”, and then watch the 1997 crap filmed as “The Jackal” (starring Bruce Willis) based on the same novel but set somewhere completely differently with every (non-realistic) “special effect” thrown in for box-office attraction value.

Excellent, Paul, couldn’t agree more. I know both films. The 1973 version kept me on the edge of my seat, the 1997 one (set in America!) had me leave my seat and not bother to watch the end of the film.
