Well, I love the books, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and Girl Who Played With Fire, so naturally I wanted to see the movies. So last night I saw Girl with Dragon Tattoo. Of course I know everything can't be transferred from book to big screen but they did a pretty good job. Funny how your mind's image of the characters sometimes doesn't match the movie's pick of characters. I thought the main character, dragon girl, was a pretty good match except I thought she would look younger in the face due to the constant reminder in the book of how young she looked. But I liked the look the movie gave her otherwise. I found the most interesting part of the movie was when she was on the screen. Also in the book we watched her keep her vigil on her evil government parole officer. I thought the movie did a good job on the rape scene and its horrible violence. They did give us a glimpse of bad times in her past but just to tantalize, not to clarify.
