| I hope the book is betterA journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) is fed misinformation and publishes this, which leads to a jail sentence. This brings him to the attention of Henrik Vanger (Sven-Bertil Taube). Henrik is receiving packages from the person who probably killed his niece, Harriet. Therefore, he hires Mikael to track down and find out what actually happened to Harriet. With piles of old data and Mikael is still stumped and does not know where to turn to find the answer. He gets his help and answers from an unexpected source Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) a girl with the appearance of a punk rocker and bearing The Dragon Tattoo.
The only social redeeming value of this film is now I have learned how to cuss in Swedish. I also took notes on things I did not know you could do. I do not consider myself a prude however I believe this film was excessively graphic for the telling of the story. The film is very slow paced and makes you want to have the type of player that you can listen too when it is in fast forwarded mode. In addition, there is an annoying background theme plays over and over and over throughout the complete film. The film does stick to a generic formula, throws in the standard red herrings, and twist at the end no big surprises but it is what we expect.
For people interested in media I watched the Blu-ray version only and it has an option for English voiceover. The voiceover is easier to follow but sounds like a voiceover being read. The DVD has many by-passable coming attractions. There are the standard DVD extras that we have come to expect.

| Pure geniusLike some previous reviewers, when I first heard that Sherlock Holmes had been recreated using a contemporary setting, I was more than apprehensive. However, once the first episode had been shown on BBC1, I was seriously hooked.
The first thing I watched when this DVD was delivered, was the previously unshown, 60 minute pilot episode and was surprised at how different it was to the eventually transmitted, 90 minute episode "Study in pink". The 60 minute version was well-crafted and would probably have made a lot of viewers quite happy. The 90 minute version in contrast is pure genius and makes for a truly different viewing experience altogether. Not only had the plot itself been not just extended but quite significantly changed; Sherlock's character was very much altered from that in the 60 minute "Study". In the shorter pilot, Sherlock acts much more normal or human, whereas in the full length episodes, he strikes one as way more "alien", adding to the fascination with this new series of which we will hopefully see much more within a year's time. To have both the 60 and the 90 minute episodes on one DVD alone makes this purchase more than worthwhile to me.
Highly recommended!
