I hope the book is better.

A journalist, Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist), is fed misinformation and publishes it, which leads to a jail sentence. This brings him to the attention of Henrik Vanger (Sven-Bertil Taube). Henrik is receiving packages from the person who probably killed his niece, Harriet. Therefore, he hires Mikael to track down what happened to Harriet. With piles of old data, Mikael is still stumped and does not know where to turn for answers. He gets help and answers from an unexpected source, Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace), a girl with the appearance of a punk rocker and bearing The Dragon Tattoo. The only redeeming social value of this film is that I have learned how to cuss in Swedish. I also took notes on things I did not know you could do. I do not consider myself a prude; however, I believe this film was excessively graphic for the telling of the story. The film is very slow-paced and makes you want a player that lets you listen in fast-forward mode. Also, there is an annoying background theme that plays repeatedly throughout the film. The film sticks to a generic formula, throws in the standard red herrings, and ends with no big surprises, but it is what we expect. For people interested in media, I watched the Blu-ray version only, and it has an option for English voiceover. The voiceover is easier to follow but sounds like a voiceover being read. The DVD has many by passable coming attractions. These are the standard DVD extras that we have come to expect.
