Customer Reviews: 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...26 Next » does a great job on a great book! April 2, 2010 Mr. Ian A. Macfarlane (Fife, Scotland) 178 out of 186 found this review helpful Like so many others I have found the three Larsson thrillers about Lisbeth Salander totally absorbing - real page-turners, very cleverly plotted and very well written. This film, of the first book, doesn't disappoint. It has loads of atmosphere, lovely, very Swedish cinematography, excellent acting and direction, and it conveys what is a very complex plot clearly and faithfully. A few things from the book are pared down to the bone - Blomqvist's relationships within the Millennium office, Lisbeth's first legal mentor (Palmgren), Lisbeth's professional relationship with her boss at Milton Security - but nothing that is essential, and the film is well paced and compelling. There is the faintest hint of a dip fairly near the end when one part of the plot is (very dramatically) sewn up and the film moves on to other, very necessary but lower-key revelations. But this is momentary, and the last ten or fifteen minutes of the film work very well. This is a fine piece of film-making, a good adaptation, and I expect that those who liked the book will be pleased with it and those that have not read the book will find it pretty gripping. Just.... gripping!! June 19, 2010 R. C. Harris (New Zealand) 48 out of 51 found this review helpful I was initially somewhat reticent about reading the books as the titles seemed a bit pretentious and, the original being in a foreign language, something was bound to be lost in the translation. But when I went to see the film I was blown away by how well it was done! The violent sex scenes made me blink but, on reflection, they had to be pretty strong to achieve the context. So pleased that it was sub titled and not dubbed! Acting was great, wonderfully realistic characters. So, having loved the film of the first book, I then went on to read the next two books. I couldn't put down the 'Girl who played with fire'. Fantastic and will certainly see the film when (or if)it is made. And, a more slower paced 'The Girl who kicked the hornet's nest' was also a good read. Oh horrors! Is there really to be a hollywood remake? That proposal should go to the war crimes commission! I shudder to think what a mess they will make of it!!! So, see the original! And make sure it isn't a dubbed version. What a tragedy that Stieg Larson wasn't able to enjoy the success. And of course unable to continue with the Millenium series! In Love With Lisbeth. July 19, 2010 The Critic Ali Insane (Lab 4, The 13th Floor) 8 out of 8 found this review helpful The DVD includes both the original Swedish language soundtrack as well as an English version, for those who don't like reading subs, so don't wait for the David Fincher version starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara - Michael Nyqvist and Noomi Rapace are exceptional in the lead roles of unjustifiably disgraced reporter Mikael Blomkvist and the highly intelligent hacker with Asperger's Syndrome Lisbeth Salander. A sneak preview of the sequel along with a trailer for The Girl Who Played With Fire has been provided in the extras. The picture quality, the edge of your seat pacing of the story, the multi-layered plot loaded with twists and red herrings, and the sublime acting from the cast is all first rate. Warning! The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo contains an extremely violent rape scene that some viewers will find very disturbing. The director, Niels Arden Oplev, has shot this upsetting, yet vital, part of the story with a certain amount of taste unlike the sustained, voyeuristic and brutal approach employed by Casper Noe in Irreversible. The sick and sadistic act that Lisbeth is subjected to is guaranteed to strike an emotional chord with most viewers, leaving them wanting nothing more than to see her achieve her goals and come out on top in whatever game she has become embroiled in. Noomi Rapace provides a copious range of emotions for her character, Lisbeth: she's feisty yet vulnerable, sexy but timid, intelligent and slightly naive. Michael Nyqvist gives a totally different performance to the menacing character he played in Pål Sletaune psychosexual thriller Naboer, bouncing superbly off his unconventional partner as they both take the viewer on a thrilling ride to uncover the truth about a missing girl who may have been murdered forty years ago by a member of her own family. A highly recommended purchase that provides more than enough exhilarating thrills to get the adrenaline pumping and the pulse throbbing but take heed: it will leave you wanting more. This flick is flawless! Swedish not necessary March 19, 2010 Stephen E. Woollard (UK) 79 out of 86 found this review helpful I picked the book up at Heathrow before a long flight to Sri lanka. I hadn't read a work of fiction for 15 years previously, but I finished it in the one sitting which tells you all you need to know. The driving force in the book of course was Lisbeth Salander, multi-lingual, computer hacking taser zapping tattooed punkette who appears to need protecting but definitely doesn't! Before I went to see the film I was worried whether an actress could do her justice. Step forward Noomi Rapace. Brilliant. Got everything bang on and the full on tattoo was great. Loved it. The film only changed the storyline here and there to make things flow, and if anything the ending was slightly better. The scenery is evocative and Blomquist is also well played by Nyqvist. A long film but I didn't even notice the time fly by. Taking a step back, I do think that having read the first two novels a couple of times now, this would have been why it is so easy to follow a film full of detail in a foreign language, and Salanders childhood flashbacks aren't explained so I would expect that some people who go in without having read the books may not keep track so well. So read the books. Looking forward to the rest of the trilogy now and Swedish is definitely not necessary to enjoy this film - the subtitles are easy to follow. Men who hate women August 6, 2010 technoguy (Rugby) 5 out of 5 found this review helpful The film of The Girl with The Dragon Tattoo does not work despite its violent and provocative subject matter.It came across as more a made-for-TV-film.The film was awful,flat,dull,with few sympathetic characters and no cinematic sense at all.It closely follows the book and is a pretty faithful adaptation.The film was more from Blomkvist's point of view.Lisbeth,a feminist avenging angel and tattooed computer hack,is a strong female character(well played by Noomi Rapace) seen from the (weaker)male lead's point of view,rather than her own.Blomkvist is supposed to be a campaigning journalist-editor of a magazine.I was not convinced by Nyqvist's playing him in such a mute,low-key way.The only time I was convinced was in the scene where he is constricted,terrified and waiting to be killed by Martin,the psychopath.The subject matter-the abuse and mutilation of women-is not eroticised and depicts Larsson's major preoccupations:fascism and violence against women.The unbelievable horrors Blomkvist unearths are rooted in both.I thought the sex scenes were not overdone and there is a kind of equality between the genders.The focus is always on the victim's experience.I also thought Nyqvist didn't bring out the tensions,the clashes between Blomkvist and Lisbeth as they worked together.From the film we can foretell quite early on what is going to happen with the fascist Vanglers with their cupboarded skeletons galore. The graphic photographs of an array of murdered women in the killer's lair doesn't leave much to the imagination, may have betrayed some of the book's original subtlety and feminism. This may be necessary to the narrative: Salander will eventually behave in a ruthless and brutal manner as a result of the view of the world her experiences have given her.What I particularly liked about the film was in it's use of photography,the working out of the topography of the disappearance of Harriet,placing many photos side by side,blowing them up,reinvoking the past through imagery.This recalled films like Blow-Up and Tell No One,similarly in its search for a `dead' person. The serial killer/abuse scenarios and the revenge fantasy is dangerously close to the reactionary Hollywood style that will be stepped up with the remake in the American version.I still preferred this subtitled film with its unknown actors to anything to anything we can imagine coming out of Hollywood.And Rapace was phenomenal. 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...26 Next »
