The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo

[transemacabre]

I walked out of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. That movie is disgusting. I hadn't read the book, and was expecting an espionage thriller of some kind. When I saw Lisbeth, I thought, Oh cool, she's different and interesting, I want to see her being awesome and kicking ass. Instead, half the movie is her being repeatedly and graphically raped. I was about to puke after the second rape, and that's when I stormed out.

I loved the Hellraiser movies, and I think The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo is a filthy, disgusting movie.

This is a random side note, but the author died before releasing the next seven installments, as there were supposed to be ten. I thought it was an odd place to leave Lisbeth and found that out after watching some documentary footage from the original Swedish films. His companion was supposed to finish the fourth novel. It was halfway done when the author died but there have been uproars that it wouldn't be handled properly, so she's refused.

It honestly just pisses me off. I think Larsson would've developed Lisbeth beautifully in the end.
