Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe piercings (including multiple ear, eyebrow, and nipple piercings) that Rooney Mara sports as Lisbeth Salander are real, not cosmetic simulations. Mara got the piercings, including her nipple piercing. "It was actually not that painful," she told Allure. "I thought, She has it in the book, and she should have it [in the movie]. Because of all the tattoos and the makeup and the piercings and the physical transformations my body has to go through, it would always feel sort of like I was in costume, even if I was naked. It just felt like a good one to get; a necessary one to get." The ear, nose, eyebrow, and lip piercings were removed after shooting completed, but she kept the right nipple piercing for possible sequels. "It's not something I want to ever get re-pierced," she said. "So I'm going to keep it in."
- GoofsSweden had left side driving until 3rd September 1967. The cars/drivers on the bridge in "1966" seem to have adopted right hand side driving about a year early.
- Quotes
Martin Vanger: It's hard to believe that the fear of offending can be stronger than the fear of pain, but you know what? It is.
- Crazy creditsAt the beginning of the film's opening studio intros of Columbia and MGM, Leo, the MGM mascot's roar is silenced.

Featured review
Let's Focus on the Film at Hand
Unlike seemingly almost every reviewer here, I did not read the book nor did I see the original filmed version of this story. Even if I had, I still prefer, as always, to view/review this film as a unique, individual work of art and not compare it to other works of art.
So, to that end I found this film to be heavy on style and a bit light on substance. The score was solid and very effective. On the other hand, Rooney's character Lisbeth was for me not really a fully developed character. I bit more back story on her could have gone a long way I think to transforming her from a one dimensional person with lots of tattoos and piercings into a someone the viewer could take a greater interest in. Craig is fine and completely adequate. Despite some shortcomings i do think there is enough here to check out for those curious who have still not seen it.
