Synopsis:Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist and the tattooed, ruthless computer hacker Lisbeth Salander to investigate. When the pair link Harriet’s disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vangers are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves. Based on the trilogy of books by Stieg Larsson, to be followed by 'THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE'.

Terribly depressing 10 out of 100
My wife has read all three books and maintains that the books are far better than the film adaptation. I hadn't read the books and probably won't either. Having watched this film I honestly felt like ending it all as the final credits rolled. Terribly depressing with not redeeming elements what so ever. The characters are two dimensional, the plot is sketchy and the ending is leaning towards the up surd. My recommendation, stick to the books and avoid the films and I have this on good authority.

Good adaptation of book 35 out of 100
This is a very watchable adaptation of the first book in the millenium trilogy. The 'girl with the dragon tattoo' isnt a particularly likeable character, which is carried through from the book. It is better than the book in some ways as it has removed some of the superfluous information, and side stories, and kept it simple and interesting. Some violent scenes which are difficult to watch.

Tatoo. 40 out of 100
Not haven't read the book i wasn't sure if I'd like this but I was surprised at just how good it was. A solid story that will keep you hooked till the end. If you don't fancy subtitles , there's an english dubbed version instead.

Great film 40 out of 100
Well I didn't read the book - but I heard it was better than the movie! Great film, original story line with good twists etc to keep your attention. Some violent scenes that I do not think needed to be so graphic but the main story of the film is well told and all in all a very good film

Very Good 35 out of 100
Even tho' I'd read the books I still decided to give this a try and I'm glad I did. One of the other reviewers suggested using the dub rather than the subtitles and the were right. The actors were all new to me and were all great. The story was still fresh in my memory from the book but I still found myself being dragged along. All in all a good watch.

The Girl with the Draggon Tattoo 45 out of 100
Wow! I really loved this movie. I had not read the book so had no idea of they story which echoed storylines from other books/movies I had read/watched. There was lots of twists and turns to keep the viewer captured. Can't wait to see the next in this trilogy

Shoulda read the book! 10 out of 100
Seemed like a direct translation from the book to film and would have benefitted from a better adaptation.

What a brilliant and surprising movie! 50 out of 100
I was absolutly surprised by this film. It is a brilliant story from beginning till end. And there are 2 more films to come. Really look forward to see them. This is so different from any Hollywood movie. It is so much more realistic and the violence in the film is needed and filmed in a none shocking or disgusting way. This film keeps you in a trance before the T.V. Absolutely one of the best films I have ever seen!

Excellent! 40 out of 100
The subject matter sounds appalling, but this is really very, very good! Watch it before the Americans spoil it - like Let the Right One In! Excellent film.

Great - better than expected 35 out of 100
I ordered this as love anything Swedish (I hadn't read the book) and it delivers on amazing Swedish landscapes and sets. A good thriller, complex and very dark and violent... but has you guessing to the end. Some good performances. No idea why they feel to make a Hollywood remake of what is already a successful and good film. I guess the yanks can't cope with reading subtitles - too many brain cells involved?

Read the books...... 40 out of 100
I had read the book (now reading no. 2) so was gaggin to see the film. Did not disappoint. Kinda scary how Lisbeth looks so like how you imagine her when reading the book. Watch it in Swedish, really glad they did it before Hollywood, nice tribute to Mr Larsson RIP. Interesting what they removed e.g. Mikael and Berger and their physical affair. Be a sheep and read the books, they are great.

Contemporary Whodunnit. 25 out of 100
Fast paced. Brutal. Reasonably gripping but I came away feeling slightly grimey as the film maker leaves the camera in the room with a sadist (figuratively spaeking).

Excellent 45 out of 100
I had not read book beforehand, so my expectations were probably not as high as those who have. Great story, well shot and good performances all round. As an aside, I would NOT recommend turning off subtitles. In my experience switching to English-dubbed versions takes away, rather than adds to, the viewing experience.

Stick to the book 30 out of 100
Having read the book, I should have known better than to expect the movie to be as good or better. It's watchable but really not a patch on the book. The main characters are disjointed and a little too harsh.

A real good watch 35 out of 100
This was a good adaption of the book.but some details skimmed over.i am sure when holiywood gets involved the movie will be a lot more gloss and polised.the movie does go along at a pace and over 2 hours long u get value .a tip for does who dont like the subtitles ,use the set up section for english version
