Also known as "Men Who Hate Women", has anyone seen this yet? I just rented it. Trailers look good and reviews are also very good (87% on the tomato meter). But damn, it's rated 'R' for just about everything you could think of.

    I read all three books in the series and really liked them. I have the movie in my Netflix queue and given the nature of the books, be prepared for a few disturbing scenes. I do recommend the books.

    Amazing film, just finished it. It's going to be a very long wait for part 2 next year.

    Watched this one last night. I liked it a lot, and probably would watch it again.

    Yeah, but the English dub is really bad. I couldn't stand it. Swedish with subtitles is the way to go.

    Agree, lots of strange names and locations however.

    True. It was bad. But I'd rather hear than read ;)

    Just started reading the first book on my iPad on the flight back from Asia. If the movie is as half as interesting as the novel then it'll definitely be up in my queue.

    Streamed it a couple of days ago... a couple of scenes were hard to watch, so it's definitely a solid R. I loved the movie though, halfway into this I was smiling and said out loud "this is awesome!"

    I rarely do that with movies today, unless they are great. I'd consider this a great movie :)
