I’ve read the book and seen the Swedish version. Is the American one worth seeing?

If you like the character of Lisbeth Salander, yes, yes, a thousand times YES!

The interpretation of Lisbeth is quite different from the swedish version.

I haven’t yet seen the Swedish version, but I’ve read the books and very much enjoyed David Fincher’s movie.

Not seen the Swedish version, not read the books (though I intend to) and I thoroughly enjoyed the American movie.
