I still do not understand why The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo needed to be remade.

The original trilogy is awesome. They could have given it a few more years before remaking it. When I saw the commercial for this remake, I said "what? That sounds familiar...."

You know -- I noticed the film on Netflix and was wondering why they were running commercials for it. I had no idea it was a remake.

Why remake it 2 years later? Hmm..

Because the original is a foreign language film. Enough said.

I will. I rarely go to theaters, so it'll likely be a while before I see the remake.

The original is in my Netflix queue now lol

That makes sense along the same lines as the horrible 2002 movie The Ring was a remake of the much better 1998 Japanese film Ring.

I stick with the original Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. I enjoyed it and the English translation was clear. Plus, originals tend to be better and that is also the case with many foreign language films.
