Fincher version was better. Don't believe anyone that says otherwise. They probably wear loafers and roll up their khakis and only like things before they get popular.
I was skimming reviews on Amazon for the US version, and here are my two favorite excerpts:
a negative review wrote:
The whole turning point in the book and Swedish movie is the rape scenes. This is supposed to be brutal and violent. Both the oral and later full on rape. It is suppose to help explain how Lisbeth is constantly victimized (esp earlier in her life) and how strong she is when she turns the tables. That should even be more shocking [than] her being raped. But in this movie it seems to be thrown [in] because it has to be included and it is not shocking or much of anything because we [don't] know or care much for Lisbeth because the writers/director hasn't made us care.
[5 minute brutal ass-rape] *YAAAAAAAAAAAWN* Why am I supposed to care about her again?

[in context of earlier paragraphs complaining about the movie being cliched]
What else. Rich people are bad. Nazis are really, really bad. Rich Nazis are really, really, really bad. Fat people are worst of all. [pretty much, yeah - ed.] The Bible causes people to become serial killers who hate women. [probably, yeah -ed.] Interestingly, boring, pretentious torture porn [they're talking about the movie here -ed.], apparently, does not cause people to become serial killers who hate women. |
