THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO ( 2011 ), R ( 2 hr & 38 min )


Quickie Review:  A disgraced journalist and a computer hacker team-up to uncover the 40-year mystery of a missing girl born into a very wealthy family.

The audience liked this movie.

I liked this movie, too, because my prayer to the god of Hollywood Movies was answered:  This girl is better looking and has firmer breasts than the original girl in the Swedish version.  There is a god after all--Yup!

Here are what I didn't like about this movie:  The first time that we see Lisbeth Salander ( Rooney Mara ) is when she gets off her bike and takes off her motorcycle helmet to reveal a perfectly-shaped Mohawk--Hah!  And what is a Swedish movie without Swedish Meatballs?  It borders on sacrilege, that is what it is!  Although this remake is very much the same as the original Swedish version which was shown in May and June of last year ( re-read my blog on it ), some scenes were replaced while others were altered.  But I don't want to mention said scenes in particular since doing so might just spoil it for some of you out there.  Go see the movie ....
