There are many remakes of european movies that didn't work out. But Finchers remake of "Män som hatar kvinnor" worked out very well and it's because of the details, the reflection and obvious thought about "what could we do better", so that the result is somehow brilliant.

At first glance, I thought about the budget that Fincher had in comparison to Niels Arden Oplev. But the casting has been done very well and there is more, from the excellent Intro to the superb editing and the great sound editing combined with a genius score in this movie.

It's because the characters are developed so good and their personal motives, especially the one of Lisbeths are working out. While Oplev describes better at the end of "Män som hatar kvinnor" how Lisbeth is taking revenge on the "men" that treated her so badly, Finchers film concentrates on how Salander is attracted to Blomkvist.

There are more psychological insights that are really authentic. Her guardian is somehow the same kind of type/ compared to Blomkvist (same glasses etc.) and she feels somehow guilty and in a strong way addicted to the only man that took her for granted, that she is giving in so deeply into a relationship with Blomkvist although he's so much older and at least not very interested in her (sexually).

Another improvement is the consistent visual presentation of this film. So, it is worth to see and to compare with the origin and even the book...
