I'd go along with Nigel on that - couldn't see why the Hollywood one had to mess about with the ending so much
the original is brilliant but some of the scenes are graphic in a way that stays with you for a long time, the books are fantastic
Original with subtitles is definitely the best version, but still doesn't come close to being as good as the books.
A mate of mine chucked the book in fright when he read scary bit . and at the same point in the film a bloke chucked his beer up in the air , the funny thing was you knew what was going to happen ,but it still made me jump
I don't generally watch films made out of books, prefer to read the book. Have the trilogy here I can give you at CamperJam if you want Para.
Seen it, diffrent, ok but the ending was well to me unfinished, its one of them films i can say i watched it but wouldnt be bothered to watch again
seen em all the girl who kicked the hornets nest was brill as well as the other 2. if you aint seen these. you will enjoy the hollywood make.....
We enjoyed the Swedish film, but as said, not as good as the books. Don't know what it is with films of books, I know the film makers use that get out of jail line, "Based on the book by...........), and the amount to which they base the film on the book varies widely. About A Boy is on at the mo, great book, mildly disappointing film, while High Fidelity was both a great book and great film. Notes On a Scandal, totally rivetting read they really stretched the "Based on" bit. Anyway, the film is good, not seen the Daniel Whathisface one and its not on our to see list either.
I loved the original ones with subtitles, I thought the casting was superb. The reporter was just the right mix of strangely ugly but really attractive at the same time. Not sure that Daniel Craig will be the same mix. I don't think they should've remade it, the original was excellent, I watched the other two immediately after
