I have seen both the Swedish original and the American remake of _The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo_, and far prefer the latter: better cast, script and production values IMHO.

Many praises have been heaped upon it, and they are well deserved. And I completely agree in that it’s one of the best _Star Trek_ movies that never was. It’s a shame they didn’t make a trilogy. I understand a prequel is in the cards, but that will have a different cast, writer, and director, so is an unknown quantity.

Agreed on all counts! This earlier thread may interest you: [Master and Commander](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/master-and-commander/520217)
