Are you one of those casuals who watch movies on laptop or something?

he's kinda right tho.

Kinda? That sounds firm.

Yeah because if there's one consensus about finchers dragon tat it's that it's dumbed down and accessible. I mean they the two protagonists aren't introduced till the second act, after a graphic rape scene, just like every other American movie.

If you haven't seen the Swedish version, it's a fine movie. But like others said, it adds nothing on the original.

This entire thread right now:

Once more into the fray... there's no original since TGWTDT 2011 isn't a remake, it's an adaptation. And watching it after Swedish adaptation feels like watching a proper film after a TV mediocrity. One thing you do get from s.e. is of course the original language, but how many of us have experienced reading the book in Swedish language, zero? God I love hearing the word 'dumbed down' associated with Fincher.

Then, like others have said, it was just made for lazy Americans that can't bother to read subtitles.
A waste of Fincher's talent.

Shit. It was far better than the Swedish film. Closer to the book as well.

Calling it a film for lazy Americans is bullshit.
