Agree with you about Mara being the better one

Mara showed more vulnerability and the relationship including her devastation at the end which essentially drives the next two books. Also, I liked the extended sequence about the money looting at the end and was angry that that was given nothing in the Swedish movie.

Follow Ups:

The money looting was given a treatment in the original - Road Warrior 17:15:25 12/28/11 (0)
AKAIC, the treatment in the 30 seconds of airtime dealing with the looting in the original was as effective as the 5 or 10 minutes devoted to it in the already long remake.

I thought the emotional impact of Vanger seeing Harriet, fetched from down under in the original, far surpassed the impact, such as it was, in the remake.
