I really don't like the opening sequence to the most recent version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Through the editing and use of computerised shapes and silhouettes as well as the music, I think that it becomes too similar to James Bond. Although I love Casino Royale and I think the opening for it is spectacular as I think it captures the classiness and style of Bond and the action theme of the film, I really don't think this sort of opening is deserved in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. By using the bold music and aggressive movements of the silhouettes in the sequence, I think it ruins the quiet darkness and creepiness of the story by making it too bold and giving off the impression that the film is more of an action thriller. However, I think that this bold music is what makes the opening of Casino Royale so great as it immediately draws you in to an action film and so sets the theme and atmosphere of it to the audience.
