The Sundance channel REALLY pisses me off.

This is the SECOND time they've shown "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" in the original Swedish or whatever.
I want to see the English version.
I HATE having to read subtitles.
shit

2. are you kidding? US adaptations are generally garbage when compared to the original!

to each their own...much of what we watch are foreign films!

5. My 27 year old nephew.............

read the book and saw both the Swedish & American versions of the film. I went with him to see the American version. I asked him the differences between the two films. His immediate reaction was that in the Swedish film, the heroine was more complex and in the American version she was more dynamic. In the story both films covered it (story) about the same.

3. I watched all three original movies on Netflix

and loved them because evidently they were shown as a six part miniseries with a lot of extra footage.

4. The original Swedish version is the better of the two. Much better. Awesomely better.

The star doesn't act like Lisbeth. She IS Lisbeth.

6. Obviously I need to watch it again.

Thank you.

7. I can top "subtitles"!1 The t.v. or its remote gave out & is stuck on Closed Captioning

Now, it's hooked up to a Dish satellite receiver, but trial and error has shown that it's not the Dish remote, it's the t.v. and/or its remote.

Maddening. Sometimes the captioning is out of sync with the spoken word, lagging behind, and I've caught myself turning off my ears and reading along with the captions.

Otoh, lots of times my hearing misses whispered dialog, so it helps that way.

8. Watch it!

It is really good. It doesn't take long to get used to the subtitles.

9. At this time in my life

my vision is poor enough that I need to see foreign films in a theater. Sadly, I live in a rural area which makes that next to impossible.

Very much enjoyed the books & even the English language version.
