How $hit is Red Dragon?
Well managed to catch some of this last night and being an avid manhunter film which is based on the same book all I can say is...I cant believe how bad it is! Hopkins = overrated, norton = pants, if you have never seen manhunter beg borrow steal it and watch a masterclass in acting from Brian *** and Will Petersen and see how it *should* be done!

I thought for a moment you were saying the original film was ****e!
The original was an excellent film, and far better than any other of the Hannibal films. Superb all round in every dept.

Well said that man
Brian ***'s portrayal of Lecter is far and away more chilling than any of Hopkins' 3 hammy attempts

Why was it so bad? Or is it because Manhunter is so good?

The latter cookstar!
From what I saw of RD I would put it in bottom 3 of all time, manhunter is in my top 3 of all time, that makes manhunter aboyut 100 times better than RD, all in my very humble opinion of course!
Its just the characters are *so* much stronger in manhunter, it was done by michael mann, he of miami vice, heat fame, the soundtrack is awesome too.

Glad you mentioned the sound track. I hunted for ages for the album of the song 'in a gadda de vida' (something like that anyway).
Michael Mann films always have good soundtracks, makes half the film for me if the music is good. If it's bad then the film will be bad too.

However, in terms of everything that matters about the film, it's not a patch on the original and begs the question, why was it made other than to complete with trillogy with Anthony Hopkins as Lecter.
No-one plays a bad guy quite like Brian ***. Has anyone played Manhunt? He does the commentary on that too!
