the girl with the dragon tattoo

[krickets]

I got back a while ago from seeing The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I was impressed. No spoilers, but after the Swedish version I was kind of unsure of a remake so soon afterward. I was especially concerned they'd tone it down too much for American audiences. But they didn't. In fact I think some sequences were even more intense. And can I just say that more men need to be built like Daniel Craig? God fucking damn.

I'd say happy and yet slightly worried? I mean, the really tough stuff is just as tough to watch, as it should be. So there's no getting around that.

I can't really tell if Rooney made Lisbeth her own. I feel like in some ways she was slightly "softer" in the role than Noomi, but I don't know if that's due in part to the script or her portrayal. I'm reserving judgement on that for a while. (I also don't really know if that's a good thing or a bad thing.)

And Daniel Craig was fantastic.
