The story was expanded and, I guess, more like the book. At least I now know that Lisbeth was a squeeze with feelings. Also, that Martin was a psycho not just a rapist. The whole thing made more sense.

I do see your case for Mara's imitation but she did it BETTER. She projected COLD instead than Rapace's FIRE and she is easier to look at.

Going with 3.5 outta 5.

Agree with you about Mara being the better one - Daryl Zero 23:33:46 12/26/11 (1)
Mara showed more vulnerability and the relationship including her devastation at the end which essentially drives the next two books. Also, I liked the extended sequence about the money looting at the end and was angry that that was given nothing in the Swedish movie.

  AKAIC, the treatment in the 30 seconds of airtime dealing with the looting in the original was as effective as the 5 or 10 minutes devoted to it in the already long remake.
  
  I thought the emotional impact of Vanger seeing Harriet, fetched from down under in the original, far surpassed the impact, such as it was, in the remake.

One thing Mara did better - SPOILER alert!!!!! - Road Warrior 21:37:23 12/23/11 (0)
She had better cans.

My stars are out of 4 so we're not far apart in the star dept. The end of the movie gave Sweeden the edge over Hollywood.
