I first saw this film a couple of days ago and it was brilliant. David Fincher did an amazing job again. I have read the Millennium trilogy and I had my own idea of Lisbeth and Mikael but Rooney Mara and Daniel Craig blew my preconceptions away. I loved the way they used such an iconic song as 'Immigrant Song' in the opening, Karen O's haunting cover was great, she made the song her own and it is one of the best covers of that song that I've ever heard. Mara encapsulates the character of Lisbeth superbly, the quiet rage she expresses holds your attention from start to finish. My one criticism is Craig's lack of a Swedish accent when the rest of the cast has one, it makes his portrayal less believable. The film overall has sleek, polished finish and if Fincher is not the director of the sequel the other director will have quite a challenge.
I would give the film 9/10
