Home Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Now, after having seen them both, I think Rapace did the better job as Salander

It seemed as tho Mara did an imitation of Rapace's portrayal. A good one, but an imitation nonetheless, lacking gavitas. My son, who saw it with me, didn't see the original, and loved Mara's job.

As for the movie itself, it was a draw, IMHO, up until the ending. Hell, IIRC, it was basically the same movie. The poingant ending in the Sweedish version was much better than the Hollywood version. Plus,


SPOILER-------------



Way too much time devoted to the looting of Wenrstrom's money in this incarnation. 10 minutes vs. 20 seconds. With no more impact.

Sweedish version, **1/2
Hollywood, **

The Girl Who Played with Fire, the best of the bunch.
