That's what I heard as well. I haven't read the book or seen the Swedish version, but, from people I know who have experienced all 3, the general consensus is that the US version is a more faithful adaptation.

Well I did say The Dragon Tattoo movie. I didn't see the other two Swedish/Danish ones as yet. I'll comment further when I see the other two. But really, there can't be a comparison made until the final two are released in their North American versions.

I've been on a reel movie bender lately... :O
Goon - was everything I was promised it would be, I had to rewind some parts I was laughing so much. Easily the second best hockey movie ever made.
Pontypool - 5 bananas check this out if you are a fan of zombie movies, its CDN too - Bruce McDonald <Hard Core Logo>.
Drive - amazing! for a movie about racing & stunt drivers the dialogue / story at times was snail slow but in a clever way...check out 'Bronson' from Refn if you liked Drive.
Contraband - liked the first half then my Mark Wahlberg adderall wore off.

Yeah I think we talked about VR earlier - I'm going to have to continue to check out Refn's catalog he's 2 for 2 with me so far. Do you have a suggestion?
Haven't watched HCL2 yet either but I will be in the near future - I'll let you know how it is. I'm always more than a little skeptical about sequels though..

The new Spidey flick was great.
Thought Garfield owned the role.

Missed this before. I have hope for Logo2 given it's Bruce MacDonald, still haven't seen it.
As for Refn, FearX was hot and cold, John Turturro was his usual self and it was odd but not as effective ( an earlier effort ) it's worth a watch but won't leave you feeling the same as Drive or the others.
I haven't seen Bleeder. I highly recommend the Pusher trilogy and VR, though VR is not for everyone, however, Mads Mikkelsen as 'One Eye' is fantastic and the story is unusual, set in 1000 AD. Mads was 'Le Chiffre' in Casino Royale and is the main protagonist in the second of the Pusher movies ( though he has a small role in the first one, they're all kind of connected but each centered on different main characters in the drug/crime underworld in Copenhagen ). Mads gives a tremendous performance there too.
He has two new movies coming down the pike, 'Only God Forgives' ( with Ryan Gosling ) and the Logans Run remake, purportedly with Gosling as well.
I don't know who the casting director is for Logan's Run but Bronson, Valhalla Rising and the other new one, Only God Forgives, were all under Des Hamilton, though Hardy, Mikkelsen and now Gosling won't hurt him no matter.

Yup. I absolutely loved it. Favourite movie of the year by far, and I'd be surprised if anything but the TDKR tops it.
Then again, I might be a little biased. I'd pay to watch Emma Stone read a book.

Better than Avengers?
Sucker Punch said:
I thought so. Avengers was a bigger action movie no doubt, but I just thought the story and characters in Spidey were much, much more interesting.
