Actually, if I like the movie enough I'll read the 3 first books. Been wanting to read a bit more here and there when I can as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And you could watch the David Fincher version, its perfect solid and it could be a decent standalone movie. But Noomi Rapace and Michael Nyvquist are already somewhat well-known actors in the west that you might as well watch the swedish movies first. The swedish version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is absolutely excellent. I think the second and third movies were actually cable movies, but so what, at that point you are completely on-board with finding out more about the life of Lisbeth Salander.

I'm not opposed to that idea either. I really never considered watching the Swedish version of the first movie. If the other two are just as good then I'd probably just do that. But at the same time I kind of like the idea of watching the David Fincher version of the first movie and then reading the books after if I like it. I guess my question is.. assuming I was going to just watch the first movie and then read the books if I'm interested, which version would you pick? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

madmaltese★ 2,549 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Definitely watch the Swedish versions if you're gonna see Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Other recommendations of the top of my head in similar genres: - Gone Girl - Prisoners - The Prestige - Nightcrawler Foreign Movies: - Oldboy - The Handmaiden - Mother (Korean movie, not Mother!) - The Skin I Live In - Funny Games 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah that's a fair call. They are legit near scene for scene and I saw the US version very soon after the original so it didn't resonate as much. It definitely is a superb remake though. Oh yeah, I saw the Devil is brilliant too! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Some of the best sound design in a movie the whole movie is great, but this part is chilling af, especially when you know what’s going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, I think Akira is kind of overrated. In my opinion the story gets way too convoluted and is never really satisfactorily resolved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
