Placebo 29 Posted September 28, 2002 I've seen Manhunter which it's a remake of which is one of my all time fave movies so there's a very big chance Red Dragon will be ruined for me because of that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scousejedi 0 Posted September 28, 2002 Red Dragon is not a prequel. It was the first book by Thomas Harris to feature hannibal. I think it was Harris' second book. If yu have run out of toilet paper I can recommend his first - Black Sunday which is so bad its untrue. The book Red Dragon is easily the best of the books featuring Lecter. However the film Manhunter has made a wonderful job of it already. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billytran 0 Posted September 28, 2002 I think this one will be better. You've got Anthony Hopkins playing Hannibal this time, and he's really good. Plus Edward Norton's in it and he's a great actor too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Silent of the lambs was the book that came after Red Dragon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kevinblake 0 Posted September 28, 2002 Red Dragon the book was pretty good but Hannibal doesnt take as main a role as he does in the sequels if i remember right... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tex -USMC- 0 Posted September 29, 2002 Heres a little tidbit: the writers for the movie see Red Dragon as another look into Lecter's mind. Silence of the Lambs was the charming Lecter, Hannibal was the over-the-top Lecter, and Red Dragon is going to be a very pissed off Lecter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Manhunter was horrible '80's cinema at it's worst. The book was much, much better. Never saw Hannibal the movie but the change in the ending from the book sounded really stupid. The book had a creepy cool ending. The hand-chopping thing was just stupid. First, Hannibal would never put himself into a situation that he was in so little control of. Second, he wouldn't have let himself be cuffed. Third, if he was cuffed, it'd be her hand he'd chop, not his own. Self-mutilation like that would be completely beyond his character. From the sounds of it the problem with the Hannibal character is that he is best when served in small portions. In Lambs he was powerfully creepy and disturbing. Put him on screen too much and you will end up with Hannibal the self-parody, like Bella Lugosi in his final movies, nothing like the scary count he once was.
