BadAim Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I just watched this movie, and I have a new found respect for my Scandinavian friends. It's one of the best movies I've seen in my nearly 50 years. Good Stuff. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 I've read the book-it's fantastic-the first of a trilogy, but I haven't seen the film-yet. Quote
JensenPark Posted December 18, 2011 Posted December 18, 2011 have you seen the European made one...with the subtitles? Quote
BadAim Posted December 19, 2011 Author Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah, I like subtitled movies. At least the good ones. The remakes just never do the originals justice. ....and well, to be honest Hollywood could screw up a wet dream. LaFemme Nakita is one of my all time favorite movies. Quote

The original Luc Besson movie is fantastic and then Hollywood turned it into a POS vehicle for Bridget Fonda without changing the script one iota just managing to lose everything that made the original fantastic. Why do they do that? Quote
BadAim Posted December 21, 2011 Author Posted December 21, 2011 I just completed the series. Damn fine movie making and story telling. The character development is much better than can be achieved in a single film, yet there is still mystery. The only downside is that the last movie was dubbed (I tried to find subtitles) and as usual it was done badly, and it was frankly just slightly of lower quality overall than the others........I suspect it had a bigger budget. I would say that if your into some good old fashioned mystery/thriller/action, and you don't mind a bit of very adult content and even a little gratuitous lesbian sex (OK, you Danger Dogz can ignore the warning, you all will probably only watch it for that), this series is for you. If you join Amazon's Amazon Prime, (free for one month) you can watch all three movies for free via streaming. The two sequels are The Girl Who Played With Fire and The Girl Who Kicked The Hornets Nest. (The last one is a stupid title isn't it? It is appropriate to the story though) All three are available dubbed if you don't care for subtitles, the last one is (unfortunately) available only that way. Go on, do it, you know you want to. Yeah, I like subtitled movies. At least the good ones. The remakes just never do the originals justice. ....and well, to be honest Hollywood could screw up a wet dream.

Why do they do that? I don't think they do it on purpose, I think they just have to much money. Quote
