The Cinephile's Film Journal: 2012 (330 movies items)

"Watched: 3/23-25/12 1st Viewing Thoughts: This new offering from visionary director David Fincher; a remake of the 2009 hit 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', is, for the majority, well worth watching. The material present is virtually identical to it's counterpart, but Fincher adds a bit more of an ominous tone. Some of the story doesn't come naturally, more so forced, but after those scenes pass through, 'Dragon Tattoo' mightily succeeds, as clues and answers are revealed. Daniel Craig is ver"

“I liked this movie, I liked the second half of the movie better though. However I thought the acting was really really good, Rooney Mara definitely did very well in this movie and transformed herself into this character.

Also I need to read the book, but overall it was really good I enjoyed the cinematics and acting.” read more

“Having never seen the original Swedish trilogy, I can’t compare the two films. And having never read the books, I tried but found it to be incredibly dry for the brief page count I made it through, I can’t say how it compares either. In fact, the source material has never had much of an interest for me. I only saw this because I’m such a fan of David Fincher. And he delivers a solid film, but it’s by no means perfect and it feels strangely beneath his immense talents.

I won’t repeat the plot, which by now everyone should be at least vaguely familiar with, so instead I’d like to focus in on the technical aspects of the film. The film opens with a powerful bang that the rest of the film never quite matches. I’m, of course, talking about the opening title sequence in w” read more
