I saw the movie this afternoon. From my recollection of the book, the movie followed it pretty closely. Which means that there are some pretty goddamn brutal scenes in the flick. This is not a movie for kids. if you're looking for a feel-good date movie and you pick this one, you've got some serious issues.
Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara are thoroughly believable in their roles as Mikael Blomkvist and Lisbeth Salander. Supposedly, Noomi Rapace, who played the Salander role in the Swedish versions (three movies and a six-part series) was even better, which is hard to comprehend.
It is a tough movie to watch, very detailed. If you haven't read the book, you might have trouble following the story.
I'd be somewhat surprised if there is an American sequel. I just don't believe that, absent some Oscar wins, this movie will pull in enough to make filming the second book in the trilogy.

The Swedish version was tough to watch at times.
