Viewing Notes

Good, but not quite great. I felt like Fincher missed the mark with this. He simultaneously tried to put too much content into it and cut too much out of it, resulting in something in-between that didn’t work as well for me as the original movie.

Rooney Mara did a pretty kick-ass job as Lisbeth Salander. Unlike other critics, I didn’t feel like she was sexualized in a way that was antithetical to the novel. I do feel that there wasn’t quite enough depth given to her character though.
