[jazzx251]

What's the difference between Rooney Mara and Wayne Rooney?

None - they both kick balls!

[Rambo261]

Awesome review

[HionShrooms]

good review guys!!

[moviebuff295]

I totally agree with your insightful review!

[BarrySTFUSrsly]

Good review, guys. It's nice to know that you went into this film with an open mind. It's a shame so many fans of the Swedish films are shunning this film. I can understand why they wouldn't want to see it but I say give it a chance! :)

You guys mention oscars and them not nominating remakes and while this is mostly true... let's not forget the departed

[lostinreviews]

@lutfalahmennealy Good point. I hope this film follows down those lines.

Good review guys, will be seeing this sometime next week.

It's not a remake, rather an adaptation from the book. The story dramatically departs from the swedish version, most notably the ending. To suggest that Fincher wanted to remake the first film—which in my opinion is mediocre at best—is an insult. This is a fresh interpretation of the story, using the book (not the other film) as his source.

Mara is Lisbeth Salander; whereas Rapace by comparison—let's be honest—has about as much talent as a wooden doll.

True Grit got heaps of nominations last year?

[lostinreviews]

@WtfSimpleplan I guess I meant to say that it hurt that films chances of winning best picture.You're right though, it was nominated for everything.

They are planning to the trilogy. Steven Zailian already finished the script for "The Girl Who Played With Fire". Everyone is coming back, Fincher is tentative, but most likely to come back. They are just waiting to see how the first one does before they green light the sequels.

Thanks for the info. I thought that's how it was going to play out.

angela looks very tired or sleepy. must have been a tiring movie ;)

"Let Me In" is a competent re-make and a fine film in its own right.

[lostinreviews]

@AmadeusExcello I just never saw the point. It never felt like it added anything to the source material. That is one thing that "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" does, by expanding the story and addressing issues from the original.
