I have read the books, seen the Swedish films so was a little apprehensive about what Hollywoodising would do to what can be at times a quite disturbing story, but thankfully my fears proved to be unfounded. They had not moved the story to somewhere in middle America, they had not made massive cuts to the story to make it more appealing and thank God they had not cast beautiful shiny people as the main characters.
Rooney Mara is fantastic as Lisbeth, and she is not trying to copy what Noomi Rapace did in the original, and Daniel Craig is also good as Mikael Blomkvist.
I have read some reviews where it has been said that it all feels a little rushed at the end, I can only assume that the reviewer had not read the book as it was exactly what happened there. I found the book a struggle to get into, it was only as I got to the last 20 pages I realised what a good book it was, as it all came together very fast at the end.
Congratulations David Fincher, can't wait to see what you do with the second (my fave out of the three) book.
