Quick Comparing of both versions - both splendid in their own right

Here is a rundown of the differences in the two movies:

-MIKAEL BLOMKVIST-

American - Blomkvist is played equally more of a tough guy and not a expert guy. His flaws are laid bare and he shows himself to be much more than detached than emotional.

Swedish - This is the "good guy" side of Mikael. He is sensitive, caring, and smart. He shows a protective side when it comes to Lisbeth. Physically speaking the Swedish Blomkvist doesn't await as sturdy as his American counterpart. He has a gut and appears to be quite a chip older than Lisbeth which tin can make the relationship between them more shudder inducing and probably accounts for why there are fewer sex scenes between them in the Swedish version.

-LISBETH SALANDER-

American - Perhaps because Blomkvist was made into such a potent character Lisbeth was then morphed into a more withdrawn and vulnerable girl and so as to complement the new Blomkvist. She nevertheless has attitude, aggression, and rage merely she also exhibits a tranquility shy side that was non in the original as well as more of a romantic side.

Swedish - In this version Lisbeth is non shy, not gentle, and not nice. She doesn't hunt Blomkvist - he chases her. She perfectly embodies everything you think of when you think of a strong female pb and has an unpredictability and edge to her that is heady to sentry. Her dragon tattoo is much, much better.

-OVERALL-

I liked the American Mikael and the Swedish Lisbeth.

While I may adopt a scene or two from the Swedish version, such as the catastrophe, overall I enjoyed the American version more.

On the flip side, I can empathise why some may detest this version because Lisbeth was their favorite character and she'due south been changed into something they don't like. For me, the modifications to Lisbeth'south character weren't severe enough to put me off.

The Swedish version captured a cult following for a reason and I would recommend both to anyone who has an interest in darker gritty movies that have a raw intensity to them. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo isn't for the faint of heart and that'southward what I love about information technology!
