The actors are more attractive in this Hollywood version of the Swedish film. I liked Plummer, Craig and Mara. Craig is notably better looking than his Swedish counterpart who had a fat face and wasn't in terribly good shape. This also lends significant realism (in my mind anyway) to the nominally lesbian Lisbeth's sexual pursuit of his character which didn't exist in the original.
While there is a certain lack of authenticity about
this version because of the English dialog, it does retain a lot of the mystery around the story and a good deal of the style. I only slightly missed the staccato of the Swedish in the non-dubbed original.
