... when I watched "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" just to see what the fuss was all about.
Woooaaaaagh. That Lisbeth, eh? Wotta gal...
Interesting subtext, too.
I know it's always the case but the book is so much better IMHO.
Yes, better than I expected.
I'm genuinely concerned about 'Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy' though... really could go either way 😐
Spoilt totally for me by one plot change that was totally unnecessary and alters the subtext a fair bit for subsequent parts.

I'd usually agree with that, but I thought the film wasn't bad, while the book was almost unremittingly tedious. "Atmospheric" would be the kindest way to describe it...
my problem is that Noomi Rapace looks nothing like the Lisbeth Salander that lives inside my head.
I have this problem with a lot of books I've read that have been made into films.
Not really a fan of the books either though.

Just rewatched Alec Guinness miniseries and then the other one. Highly recommend it if you haven't. Would be interested to know if it could be remastered and cleaned up somehow - probably expensive, tho.

I was really disappointed by the book
Thought the whole series of books were outstanding - one of the few times I have had difficulty putting a book down.
Don't really want to see the films as I understand their storyline veers a bit away from the books.
shes a minger but the film was good..
Really good film, if a touch disturbing in places. Apparently it's being remade for some reason, can't see why myself.
