Things do improve though markedly towards the end and the characterization is ok but not thorough, I would have liked to have seen more of the motives of the characters explained. A safe watch.

Yeah, I found that movie just to be
OK, probably because I loved McGee's
May so much - Have you seen it? Highly recommend.

*SIGH* - Catching up on this thread is giving me a LOT of movies that I want to watch... But Netflix doesn't have the collection of indie horror that it used to. You're making me jealous. :(
Angra, V, Roshiq - How do you check out the movies that you do? Download? Bittorrent?

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
Probably would have liked this more if I hadn't seen the 2009 Swedish version first, which I thought was very good. That being said, I thought that Rooney Mara was a GREAT Lisbeth (who I totally want to DO right now), though I thought Daniel Craig to be a little stiff.
I don't know - Maybe the movie tried to cover too much but I felt as though it was missing something - Can't really put my finger on it (could just be that I liked the 2009 version so much that I felt as though watching this was just "going through the motions" and waiting for plot points to unveil themselves). And, is it me, or did they not explain the significance of the dried flowers at the end? They are, after all, what kicks off the movie... The explanation in the 2009 version was great I thought.
Anyhoo - I thought it just OK, but probably because it was overshadowed by the other version. Probably going to watch the other movies in the series right now. :D
