..I have to say that I prefer the 'American' one over the Swedish one. I think the acting all around is far superior in the new one, the story is more closely followed, and the characters are far more developed.

I enjoyed them both, as I view them as two different interpretations of the same book, I just prefer the new one as it is darker and colder somehow, and Lisbeth is portrayed as much more damaged than in the Swedish version. In fact I am going to see it again tonight...
