The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo (2011)

This film has been around for a while; at last I also saw it. There are so many films which I want to see and the 2C-list gets longer all the time.
I watched the films from Sweden, so the question is: What can this version give what the Swedish film didn't have already?
OK, this is not a remake, but an independent adaptation of the original novel. There are some minor differences, unimportant variations which put a slightly different accents on different aspects of the plot. Some critic said, that this version is more "filmic", whatever that is supposed to mean.
The main actors, Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara, were obviously cast to look like the Swedish protagonists.
So -- an interesting attempt to make the US audience interested in this plot, but essentially an unnecessary film.
Seems that David Fincher is preparing the next step in this unnecessary refilming
