After watching the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I went in to the remake with no thoughts coming in and not be thinking that it's going to suck because it's a remake. David Fincher's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is just as amazing as the original, if not, better than it. They made the movie very different from the original, but still manage to create the same story which kudos to David Fincher and Steven Zaillian for knowing how to make a remake stand out on its own. The characters are just as memorable as the original, and it created the characters a bit differently too which I appreciated. Rooney Mara is outstanding in this and whether people would ask whether she's better or Noomi Repace, I have no idea because I think that they are equally excellent in it and they never seem to be acting the same
