the girl with the dragon tattoo

saw this the past weekend: it took about an hour to finally "click", get interesting. at several points in that first hour, i wondered how much i could bear; much of that first hour was also corny (seriously, happy meals?). but when the two main characters finally got together, the movie got good, and stayed good. lots of action, lots of inappropriate sexual situations, lots of gloomy skies, and one great big explosion that you'll be so happy to see, so that you don't have to see that dislocated jaw any longer.
