          This hasn't had a thread before? Either way great film well worth checking out.

            Original was brilliant, yep. Haven't seen the new one. I love Chloe Moretz but I'm sure the American version doesn't even come close to comparing with the eery genius of the original, so I have little interest in checking the new one out.

              Just to offer an alternative view: I hated it.
              Dull, terrible wardrobe (why was everyone dressed in 70's clothes? Was it the 70's? Why set a film in an era that doesn't effect the plot?) A massively over-rated coming-of-age with a vampire!
              Honestly, it's like an added on detail to spice up the tedious story.

              Tip: look at the type of films I rant about and get a clue. But to enter this expecting something of genius is to invite tremendous disappointment.

                I liked this original version, don't plan on seeing the new one unless it just happens to be on one day -- even though someone did tell me the new one was great, however this person hated the original, lasted about 10 mins into it and thought it was laughably bad....so.......

                  the new one was very good. it didn't stray from the original in any significant way. and the new one feels a bit creepier.

                  yeah, gm - it's not twilight/hollywood <<hee, hee!>>. many swedish flicks are like this.

                    Watched the original and I was bored. I wouldn't say it was bad but it's not for everyone.

                          The original is one of my favorite movies ever. I thought the re-make was very well done, but it didn't top the original or bring anything new to the table.

                          However, I do think Fincher's version of GWTDT will top the original (which is quite good.)

                            I think both versions are pretty much equal in their awesomeness, but if I had to give an edge to one, it would be the remake, which I found to be a more visceral experience.

                            Yes, I'm a horrible blasphemer who's going to movie hell.

                            ETA: Also, the remake was devoid of CGI cats. So there's that.

                              yeah, those CGI cats was too cheesy (and very UN-Swedish-like) in the original. funny that they took out the most hollywoodish bit from the original. lol!
