Clyde Collins said on Saturday, December 24, 2011 5:30:05 PM Aside from the great story, actors' performances, haunting soundtrack and thrilling directing from David Fincher the cinematography was what amazed me with this film. This movie should be the major point in the argument that digital cinema is not only possible but the future. The quality of image that the red camera produced for this film not only competes with 35 mm but may exceeds its ability's. This film shows even though digital imaging is in its infancy the possibilities are very bright for the future.

Bob Johnson said on Sunday, December 18, 2011 11:21:11 AM Am anxious to see this film. I watched Swedish version 4 times, my favorite movie of the year. Also read all 3 books in the trilogy before watching the three Swedish films which helped understand voids in them. Noomi was great as Lisbeth and I hope Rooney is as good or even better.

Reply from Richard Roeper I've seen it, thanks! RR
joe-bob elgin said on Saturday, December 17, 2011 10:57:41 PM Just like The Ropester, I too was not sure that we needed an American version of TGWTDT. I am happy to hear the his review was very positive and though Rooney has a little less sex appeal as did the Swedish Lisbeth, I cant wait to see this and I am going to have to read the book sometime soon. The Swedish version is an A and I cant wait to enjoy this version together with some of Valparaiso's finest kernels mixed in with some of Wisconsin's liquidfied yellow syrup washed down by Atlanta's near perfect beverage!
Myra said on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 11:22:05 PM I can't wait to see this! The way that Rooney matches the book description of lisbeth and the way she seems to have understood the character is outstanding. I wish there were more books with more than one good movie adaptation like this one. I will see the Swedish version as soon as I see the Hollywood approach.
