Reviews
I liked the American Mikael and
the Swedish Lisbeth.
While I may prefer a scene or two from the Swedish version, such as the ending, overall I enjoyed the American version more.
On the flip side, I can understand why some may hate this version because Lisbeth was their favorite character and she's been changed into something they don't like. For me, the modifications to Lisbeth's character weren't severe enough to put me off.
The Swedish version captured a cult following for a reason and I would recommend both to anyone who has an interest in darker gritty movies that have a raw intensity to them. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo isn't for the faint of heart and that's what I love about it!
