Started watching RED DRAGON yesterday. There was such hype for Hannibal back then, but Red Dragon I remember sort of just crept up and suddenly had a poster at the local theatre,. Out of nowhere it felt.
Anyway. Maybe they should have reworked the novel, so it uses the same plot but takes place after Silence of the Lambs instead. With everyone being 10 years older but suppose to be 20 years younger...

Now that you watched Red Dragon and Manhunter, thoughts?
Manhunter is obviously a more stylish, hotter and better acted film. Edward Norton just doesn’t make the character (especially the dialouge) work like William Petersen. Might have to do with a better written script.
At the same time. Fun seeing Anthony Hopkins again. Even though it feels more like having a well-liked character return to a Marvel movie than seeing a strong drama continuing. Also, they should have tweaked the story to take place after SOTL and not before.
Surprised by how similiar some scenes are.

agreed. Christopher Reeve's character was unemotional/logical but just in his naivete. This one felt robotic. And an alien worshipping a human god? totally weird.

Was so tired from doing GA at both MSG shows, that I admittedly slept through the first 15-20 min. But enjoyed the rest of it. Not as good as original, but still fun. Will go see it again for full experience. Can’t wait for Halloween.. favorite holiday 👻

I love the young William Peterson and of Michael Mann’s direction.
It’s been too long, but I can’t remember which of the movies was actually more faithful to the book.
